Workshop

At the heart of biodynamics is the image of caring for the earth and her kingdoms, as you would for a living being, that can unfold and develop into an independent, self-sustaining individuality. The animals that live within (the worm), upon (the cow), and above (the bee) the earth will be our focus for this Midwinter’s Agriculture Intensive. Each of these realms have a digestive process within that transforms and creates something new, a gift for the land that is future-bearing.

On January 24-26, Soil, Soul and Spirit (formerly

From Biodynamic Agricultural College: 

Our Introduction to Biodynamic Viticulture course is ideal if you have a basic knowledge of viticulture and would like to develop a biodynamic approach. You might be planning a new vineyard, wanting to convert your present plot, or selling or marketing biodynamic wine. If so, this is the course for you!

Sessions are online with a series of seminars, an extensive resource library for additional personal study, and video interviews with experts from across the world of biodynamic viticulture.

From Adam Blanning, Vesna Forštnerič Lesjak and Albert Schmidli: 

We cordially invite you to our zoom online conference in January 2025!

This meeting will help all those who teach about anthroposophy, those who research and work with questions of growth and vitality, as well as anyone who would like to know more about how to engage more fully with the etheric world.

From Acres USA:

Every year, the Eco-Ag Conference & Trade Show sets a new standard for innovative and practical learning in modern agriculture. This is not your average regenerative farming conference. Eco-Ag is the premier conference for science-based sessions on regenerative agriculture. You will learn techniques and tactics you can immediately take home to the farm and put into practice. Each moment of programming is thoughtfully curated to provide useful, practical and measurable information and connections that you can apply to your operation.

Hosted by The Waldorf School of Santa Barbara and the Helen Hecker Study Group - Studies in Anthroposophy:

The Chesapeake Biodynamic Network of Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, District of Columbia, & West Virginia announces a wokrshop on Permaculture & Biodynamics with Biodynamic Farmer Student Lundy

Thursday, August 22

4711 Poole Road Sykesville, MD 21784

10:00am-2:00pm

Developing the concept of the "Living Farm Organism" on five acres. Donations are welcomed to help compensate Stewart Lundy. Do bring a lunch and yu are invited to stay afterwards to hike the surrounding landscape if you so wish. 

Water is crucial to biodynamics: Not only to water plants, but for the process of stirring, which potentizes the preparations. But do we really know what water is, what tasks it has in life processes, or how it carries them out? Jennifer Greene of the Water Research Institute takes us far beyond what we commonly know, or suppose we know, of this element.

In the morning, Craig Holdrege explores how to work with the living dynamic qualities of plants and animals to better understand the world around us. In the afternoon, Sherry Wildfeuer, a long-time editor of the Stella Natura planting calendar, explains how the calendar is created, what it tells us, and how we can use it to learn to work with, rather than against, nature’s rhythms and forces.
