The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution. — Paul Cezanne

The 2010 National Biodynamic Conference was, by all accounts, an extraordinary event, truly living up to its name to serve as a vessel for the growing biodynamic community and its emerging role in the food revolution. By the end, we all felt a new seed had indeed been planted for the future...a seed for a new way of working together and coming together and becoming together as a movement: a seed for a new agriculture and for a new phase in the life of the Biodynamic Association.

Comments from attendees:

"The whole conference was so uplifting, inspiring, nurturing, and 'learning.' Sense of community, getting to know many across the country, all involved in this agricultural movement of the future, truly spiritual seeds for the future of mankind."

"I entered a conference that created the process of empowerment – the whole global picture was provided, and the chasm that we find ourselves in explained and reflected upon, BUT we were also provided with the ladder to get out of the dark hole and the potential light at the top."

"I had a magnificent time. It was a pleasure to be around such positive and energenic people. Everyone was warm and open. That is a rare thing that I hope to be involved with everyday. I am happy and grateful I had the oppurtunity to attend."

"Loved the excitement and focus on the youth, as well as honoring the wisdom and experience of long time practitioners. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the scholarship. It really did make the conference feel open and accessible. I appreciate all of your hard work to be intentional about opening this conference. We felt it."

"Very different than other farming and gardening conferences I've attended. At the end something was strongly living in me. I experienced myself creating ties between speakers themes, workshops, events and experienced whole pictures instead of fragmented parts. I also felt very inspired by the conference energy and future gesture."

"Wow! Such an amazing energy of people coming together, movements coming together."

"I have never been to a conference where everyone that I met came from their hearts so fully. It was great to be around so many like-minded people."

"Best conference I've been to. Great energy, schedule, people. Excellent!"

"The conference (my first) was an eye opener! I loved it! The keynote speakers/speeches were excellent. The dynamics of the conference were palpable. There was so much positive energy flowing all around. I met some really wonderful people. Everyone was very helpful. ...As a newbie to this movement, I am honored to have been 'present' for this conference."
