In order to foster an ongoing and inclusive conversation about future of the biodynamic movement, we are soliciting brief pieces on the current and hoped-for future state of biodynamics in North America. We would greatly value your input on this issue, with the unique perspectives that you can bring from your particular involvement with biodynamics. We hope this will be the beginning of a continuing exploration in the Biodynamics journal, on the website, and in meetings with members and friends of the Association.

We are looking for short pieces, a couple of paragraphs in length - although we also welcome longer submissions, up to 900 words - that address the following questions:

* What inspires you about biodynamics?
* What excites you about the movement, or what do you see as important challenges and opportunities facing us?
* Where would you like to see biodynamics in 10 years?

Our original deadline was for the summer issue of Biodynamics, but we hope to continue this conversation throughout the year, so please continue to consider submitting your thoughts. The deadline for the fall issue is September 5 and the for the winter issue is December 1. We may publish submissions in Biodynamics and/or on our website, and they may be edited for clarity or length. If possible, please include a digital photo of yourself and a short, one- or two-sentence bio that includes your relationship with biodynamics. Email submissions to journal@biodynamics.com.

Please forward this request to anyone who might be interested in contributing. We welcome all submissions and look forward to hearing from a diverse representation.

Thank you so much for your time and commitment!
