SUMMARY:The Horn Silica Preparation / Biodynamic Tree Paste / Bees
DESCRIPTION:A Class in the One-Year Part-Time Training in Biodynamics\nThe horn silica preparation influences the color\, flavor\, and keeping quality of produce; Mac Mead leads the class in making this prep in the garden. We also make biodynamic tree paste and apply it to the Pfeiffer Center’s fruit trees. Weather permitting\, Bill Day leads a visit to the Pfeiffer Center’s apiary\, and the day concludes with an afternoon artistic activity. \nCOVID-19 Protocols: Please visit this page for information about COVID-19 safety measures at Pfeiffer Center workshops. \nPlanning to attend this class as a makeup from last year?

SUMMARY:Water: H2O or Much More?
DESCRIPTION:A Class in the One-Year Part-Time Training in Biodynamics\nWater is crucial to biodynamics: Not only to water plants\, but for the process of stirring\, which potentizes the preparations. But do we really know what water is\, what tasks it has in life processes\, or how it carries them out? Jennifer Greene of the Water Research Institute takes us far beyond what we commonly know\, or suppose we know\, of this element. \nCOVID-19 Protocols: Please visit this page for information about COVID-19 safety measures at Pfeiffer Center workshops. \nPlanning to attend this class as a makeup from last year? Email info@pfeiffercenter.org at least one week in advance to find out how to reserve your seat. Thank you!

SUMMARY:Life Rhythms / Seeing Nature Whole
DESCRIPTION:A Class in the One-Year Part-Time Training in Biodynamics\nSherry Wildfeuer\, long-time editor of the Stella Natura planting calendar\, explains how the calendar is created\, what it tells us\, and how we can use it to learn to work with\, rather than against\, nature’s rhythms and forces. In the afternoon\, Craig Holdrege explores how to work with the living dynamic qualities of plants and animals to better understand the world around us. \nPlanning to attend this class as a makeup from last year?
