West Coast

An all-day event featuring some of the most cutting-edge speakers exploring the nexus between our agriculture, health -- of the planet as well as of animals (including us hu-mans) -- and environmental justice. The forum will be both a live event in our barn and a virtual event, viewable from anywhere. Our online streaming version will offer the same great content, plus translation into Spanish and some level of virtual connection to keep our online friends in the networking loop that has been such an important part of past events.

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