SUMMARY:Mysterious Phenomena: How Honeybees Defy Our Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Mysterious Phenomena: How Honeybees Defy Our Thinking\nHoneybees invite us into an encounter with a creature so wise\, communally-oriented\, and creative that open-minded and careful observation of their activities serves to further deepen the parable and mystery of who they truly are. The books about bees and beekeeping share what is normal and likely\, but often minimize our expectations for what is possible. In this sharing of stories\, which are being compiled into a new book\, Alex shares some of the most interesting phenomena from his first-hand experiences with the bees at Spikenard Farm Honeybee Sanctuary\, opening up new vistas for what we imagine is possible\, and allowing a deeper trust in the wisdom of the bees to guide our approach and relationship with them and the natural world. \n \n \nAlex Tuchman is a beekeeper\, educator\, farmer\, author\, father\, and student of nature. As the Director of Spikenard Farm Honeybee Sanctuary\, Alex carries a wide variety of responsibilities on the farm\, with the bees\, in the classroom\, and in administration. Alex is the co-leader of the Agriculture Section of the School of Spiritual Science with Sherry Wildfeuer and helps to facilitate the Alliance of Biodynamic Organizations. Alex is a consistent contributor to the biodynamic agriculture and natural beekeeping movements and regularly teaches at conferences in the U.S.\, around the world\, and online. Alex’s book\, A Lively Hive\, was published in 2021\, outlining the basic biodynamic beekeeping methods that are practiced and taught at Spikenard Farm. Since 2024\, Alex has been the Editor of the Stella Natura Biodynamic Planting Calendar. \n—�k"w�;�ح��k�

SUMMARY:Water: Beyond H2O
DESCRIPTION:Water: Beyond H2O\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. \nJennifer Greene is Executive Director of the Water Research Institute of Blue Hill\, ME. Since the 1980s\, she has been a pioneer of flow forms in the United States\, and continues the work of Theodor Schwenk in documenting water quality through the “drop picture” method.

SUMMARY:Midwinter Agriculture Intensive
DESCRIPTION:Midwinter Agriculture Intensive\nBEE\, COW\, & WORM:\nTHE INTERCONNECTED\nAGRICULTURAL INDIVIDUALITY\n\nAt the heart of biodynamics is the image of caring for the earth and her kingdoms\, as you would for a living being\, that can unfold and develop into an independent\, self-sustaining individuality. The animals that live within (the worm)\, upon (the cow)\, and above (the bee) the earth will be our focus for this Midwinter’s Agriculture Intensive. Each of these realms have a digestive process within that transforms and creates something new\, a gift for the land that is future-bearing. Lectures 4\, 7 and 8 in Rudolf Steiner’s course\, Agriculture\, will be the supporting foundation for our journey together. We hope to deepen our relationship with these visible beings\, as well as their unseen counterparts in the elemental world\, who play such a vital role in weaving together the farm individuality. \nWe will spend this festive Midwinter time in lecture\, conversation\, meal sharing\, and artistic and practical activities. And of course\, you won’t want to miss our much anticipated annual talent show! \n\n\nWho is this course for?\nThis course is most accessible to those who have some familiarity with Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual scientific perspective\, but is open to all. Whether you are a farmer\, gardener\, teacher\, eurythmist or just anyone who would like to spend time in community deepening their understanding of the living earth\, we welcome you! \n  \nPresentation Descriptions\nDetailed Schedule\n  \nRegistration Information:\nScroll to the bottom\, select number of tickets and click ‘Get Tickets’ to register. \nSCHEDULE: The course begins with a presentation on Friday evening at 7:30 pm and concludes with lunch at 12:30 pm on Monday. \nCONFERENCE RATE: $445 (Includes lunches/dinners/snacks). Lodging separately available here. \nEARLY BIRD SPECIAL: Available through December 31\, 2024: 10% savings! Use discount code: midwinter2025earlybird \nDISCOUNTED RATE: We are offering a discounted rate of $345 for people who live and/or work within the Threefold and Fellowship Communities.

SUMMARY:Large Animals and the Farm Organism
DESCRIPTION:Large Animals & The Farm Organism\nThe ideal biodynamic farm is a self-contained individuality to which cows contribute milk\, meat\, and soil fertility. Megan Durney shares about the essential nature of the animal\, and Kim Vaughan covers the basics of biodynamic dairy herd management\, including rotational grazing and pasture management. The day includes a visit to our herd\, cow barn\, and dairy\, the only one in Rockland County. \nAs Farm Manager\, Megan coordinates the daily work on our farm\, and is an instructor in our One-Year Part-Time Training. She takes a leading role in planning and carrying out our annual Plant Sale and each season’s vegetable production. She directs our seed saving\, herb growing\, and herbal product production\, manages our CSA\, Farm Stand\, and sales to other outlets. Megan is a board member of the Nature Institute and Biodynamic Demeter Alliance (BDA). Megan joined the Pfeiffer Center as an intern in 2006\, and became a staff member in 2010. In 2014-2015\, she studied seed saving under Harald Hoven at Raphael Garden in Fair Oaks\, CA. \nAs Herdsperson and Dairy Manager\, Kim heads up the only dairy herd in Rockland County. In addition to supporting all aspects of farm operations and administration\, she is an active member of the Fellowship Community’s Administrative Circle and Community Council. Kim first met biodynamics at a year-long course with Harald Hoven at Raphael Garden in Fair Oaks\, CA. She soon joined their CSA and became a star volunteer\, serving on the steering committee\, organizing fundraisers\, and milking the cows on weekends. In 2016\, Kim stepped away from Waldorf kindergarten teaching to become a full-time apprentice at Raphael Garden\, followed by a summer at Fulcrum Farm in Grass Valley\, CA\, where she helped tend a small herd of Scottish Highland cows.
