This practice-based course begins with a two-week residential intensive from July13 to July 25, 2020, and ends with a two-week intensive in July 2021. During the year in between, participants carry out an observation-based research project and engage in long-distance study with discussion of texts related to phenomenological, participatory science.
The course is intended for people who are deeply interested in nature and serious about developing an understanding and practice of the science of phenomena, an approach that is contextual, qualitative, and holistic.
“Winter is the time when we delude ourselves into thinking that the coming year will be one of clean fields, abundant moisture, bumper crops and few, if any, problems.”
This sentiment from Vic Madsen, who farms near Audubon, is common fiction we as farmers fabricate in the quiet, rejuvenating winter months. Farmers’ best laid plans are vulnerable to disruption each year: weather, pests and market volatility, to name just a few, can lead to crop and livestock losses and diminished returns.
The conference will be March 30-31 at the campus of Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana, in the heart of the Rocky Mountains.

Gathering to discuss Steiner's Ideas on the Three-Fold-Social-Life: the Cultural/the Economic/the Rights Spheres
Rudolf Steiner asserted in 1924 in the Agricultural Course:"For Agriculture is sadly hit by the whole trend of modern spiritual life.
You see, this modern spiritual life has taken on a very destructive form especially as regards the economic realm though its destructiveness is scarcely yet divined by many."
-We shall look at Steiner's work on addressing the Social Question':'Towards Social Renewal'
