SUMMARY:Animals and the Farm Organism
DESCRIPTION:Animals and the Farm Organism\nThe ideal biodynamic farm is a self contained individuality in which the animals play a major role. Mac Mead and Megan Durney share about the essential nature of the animal and Kim Vaughan covers the basics of biodynamic dairy herd management\, including the life rhythms of a dairy cow and the role healthy soil plays in animal and pasture health. The day includes a visit to our herd\, cow barn\, and dairy\, the only one in Rockland County.  \n  \nAnimals and the Farm Organism 2025 RegistrationPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastPreferred pronounsEmail *Phone *Address *Address Line 1Address Line 2City--- Select state ---AlabamaAlaskaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingStateZip CodeWhere did you hear about this course? *Terms *I have read\, understood and hereby agree to the terms below *Cancellation / Refund Policy: \nIf cancellations are made at least 2 weeks before the workshop\, registrants can choose a refund (less a $10 administrative fee) or full credit toward a future workshop.

SUMMARY:Soil\, Compost\, Cover Crops & Seed Saving Basics
DESCRIPTION:Soil\, Compost\, Cover Crops & Seed Saving Basics\nOn a biodynamic farm we strive to create from the farm what the farm needs to thrive into the future. Building soil through cover-cropping\, making and applying your own compost\, and saving your own seeds supports a developing farm individually. In the classroom\, Mac Mead explores the relationship of soil science and spiritual science. In the garden\, we handle composts of different materials and maturities\, build compost piles\, make potting soil mix\, and treat compost piles with the biodynamic preparations. Megan Durney presents hands-on seed saving basics; vital knowledge for the future of our food supply and the health of our farms and communities. \n  \nSoil\, Compost\, Cover Crops & Seed Saving Basics 2025 RegistrationPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastPreferred pronounsEmail *Phone *Address *Address Line 1Address Line 2City--- Select state ---AlabamaAlaskaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingStateZip CodeWhere did you hear about this course? *Terms *I have read\, understood and hereby agree to the terms below *Cancellation / Refund Policy: \nIf cancellations are made at least 2 weeks before the workshop\, registrants can choose a refund (less a $10 administrative fee) or full credit toward a future workshop.

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).

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.

SUMMARY:CANCELED! Water: H2O or Much More?
DESCRIPTION:CANCELED DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES!\nWATER: H2O OR MUCH MORE?\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:Seeing Nature Whole / Life Rhythms and Planting Calendar
DESCRIPTION:Seeing Nature Whole / Life Rhythms & Planting Calendar\nIn the morning\, Craig Holdrege explores how to work with the living dynamic qualities of plants and animals to better understand the world around us. In the afternoon\, Sherry Wildfeuer\, a 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. \nCraig is a biologist\, an educator\, and Director of The Nature Institute in Ghent\, NY\, a research and education organization for a unique qualitative approach to science. Craig is the author of many books and articles on genetic engineering\, genetics\, and a holistic\, Goethean approach to science. \nSherry is the editor of the Stella Natura Biodynamic Planting Calendar\, a co-worker at Camphill Village Kimberton Hills\, PA\, and a long-time active member of the Anthroposophical Society and the Agriculture Section of the School of Spiritual Science.
