Before Breaking Ground
Rudolf Steiner (see www.rudolfsteiner.org) inspired what became called biodynamic agriculture with a series of innovative, trail-blazing lectures to landworkers in 1924.* With artistic, meditative and practical activities, we will explore the transformative nature of spiritual science through this new holistic international agriculture movement. Come ready to prepare your inner soil, your soul, on behalf of all the life you steward. The course material includes the 2024 Stella Natura Biodynamic Planting calendar, the 2024 Maria Thun Planting calendar, How to Know Higher Worlds, The Agriculture Lectures and Six Steps in Self-Development.
