for five days together in Harlemville, NY.
We come together as young people exploring how we can co-create a more meaningful world!
Through conversation, work, and art, we will celebrate ideas and practices that aim to connect us to our most authentic selves and to our future collaborators.
This gathering is an opportunity to meet other young people working in education, farming, craft, and many other vocations, and is a chance to connect with others who are interested in anthroposophy or have questions about spirituality.

We take for granted that microbes, plants, animals, and human beings are alive. But does “life” only exist within organisms? Might life be a fundamental feature of our planet? In what sense might we say the earth is alive?

The mission of biodynamics has always been one of fostering health for the purpose of universal human freedom.
The goal of the “farm organism” is so that every farm might source from within its own boundaries, all its own fertility needs that stream in from the cosmos.
