Please come join us for a warm and welcoming weekend as we strive to deepen our study,
our work and discuss Biodynamics!
For our winter study this year, we plan to dive into a couple important topics that will help us progress and move forward as a group, and as a supporter of the growth of Biodynamics in North America.
We will look at the importance of increasing the amount of preparations that are made and hear from our Prep Making Committee on their recent productive conference calls. Reports, ideas and discussion surrounding this work will guide us.
We will also look at supporting ourselves as a group for continued growth and in preparing for future educational work, including the 2018 National Biodynamic Association's Conference to be held here in Oregon, November 14-18, 2018. We are greatly looking forward to this event!
This is always a time for continued strengthening of our group through the understandings gained in our studies as well as taking the time to focus on collective work for 2018!
All are welcomed to attend and are greatly appreciated for their presence!
So please join us new and current members alike!
