Help Us Continue to Energize and Potentize the Biodynamic Community
Flow forms are used by many biodynamic practitioners to enliven water and stir biodynamic preparations. The Biodynamic Association (BDA) works in a similar way. Through our work, the BDA energizes and potentizes the biodynamic community, co-creating positive transformation through dynamic movement.
This fall and winter, the Biodynamic Association seeks to raise $60,000 to support the further development of our work. The world is in deep need of healing, and the Biodynamic Association’s resources, educational programs, and information are more sought after than ever before. We are asking our members and friends to give generously, recognizing the critical role of BDA in transforming agriculture in North America.
The Biodynamic Association awakens and enlivens co-creative relationships between humans and the earth, transforming the practice and culture of agriculture to renew the vitality of the earth, the integrity of our food, and the health and wholeness of our communities.

The Food Tells the Story
By Sally Voris: This year, I realized that making biodynamic preparation BD 500 develops intimacy the way good storytelling does. Storytellers sense edges, boundaries, and themes; they attend to the rigors of timing, flow, and nuance, connecting story and audience and conveying multiple levels of meaning.

From the Cow’s Perspective
By Craig Holdrege: Do we view our actions within the confines of the already existing status quo, which itself may be unhealthy? Or, do we break through those confines and work to acknowledge and understand the beings we are involved with from their point of view?
