Water: Beyond H2O

Side Room at Threefold Auditorium 260 Hungry Hollow Rd, Chestnut Ridge, NY, United States

Water 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.
