The Fellowship of Preparation Makers (FOPM) will host its annual gathering in Cottage Grove Oregon January 28-31, 2027. Come join a dedicated group of humans exploring different aspects of the plant kingdom and better understand the biodynamic preparations from multiple presenters with decades of experience. The topic for this gathering is, Preparations Through the Lens of the Plant Kingdom, the second year of a four year cycle going through all the kingdoms.
Register for one of the two pre-gathering activities, on Thursday January 28. There will be farm tours of local biodynamic farms (Goodfoot Farm, Winter Green Farm, and Singing Creek Farm) or an in person intensive of accessible biodynamic practices for vineyards and wineries hosted by Garett Long and Nicole Tracy of Troon Vineyard. The main gathering kicks off Thursday evening with dinner and a Eurythmy performance.
Friday and Saturday will include delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner with many biodynamic ingredients, body movement through Eurythmy, and stimulating presentations from many of the leaders in biodynamics. Sunday will include breakfast, time to review and connect from what we learned from the weekend and a lunch.
If you are a biodynamic practitioner who is making – or would like to make – preparations on your land or with a local or regional community, the Fellowship of Preparation Makers is an invaluable resource for guidance, information regarding supplies, and to connect you with other practitioners in your region. Even more, it offers a supportive community of like-minded individuals and groups, all striving to bring the healing of biodynamic agriculture to this continent.
Do you have a product, art, books, food, you made or want to see get passed along? We hold a silent auction to help support the cost of the conference. Bring your item with you to the gathering and help keep the annual FOPM gathering going for many more decades.
Registering early helps tremendously for the organizing team to know how many attendees to plan for. Please register ASAP by emailing FOPM@protonmail.com
