Water is crucial to biodynamics: Not only to water plants, but for the process of stirring, which potentizes the preparations. Jennifer Greene of the Water Research Institute takes us far beyond what we commonly know, or suppose we know, of this element.
A day-long workshop covering boosting soil fertility, weed and pest control using biodynamic preparations, and small animal stewardship.
Craig Holdrege explains how to work with the living dynamic qualities of plants and animals. Sherry Wildfeuer takes us through the ins and outs of using the Stella Natura planting calendar.
Hugh Williams, one of the best orchardists in the East and a biodynamic farmer for over forty five years, shares his perspective and practical knowledge!
Megan Durney shares about the essential nature of the animal, and Kim Vaughan covers the basics of biodynamic dairy herd management.
Alex Tuchman, Director of Spikenard Farm Honeybee Sanctuary leads us in an immersive weekend of the honeybee!
Mac Mead introduces biodynamics in the context of the spiritual-scientific understanding of earth evolution. In the garden, we do hands-on work with the horn manure preparation, transplanting, raised beds, and planting cover crops.
CANCELED DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES!
In 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.
