Biodynamic Regenerative Agriculture
A series of biodynamic regenerative agriculture workshops for educators, parents and families of all ages to learn, experience and participate in the rich biodynamic practices developed by Rudolf Steiner.
Each workshop presents different topics, practical applications and knowledge on biodynamic agriculture, and is a meaningful celebration of the alchemy of minerals, plants, animals and humans in nature offering real solutions to the prevailing question of all ages: “What Can I/We do?” in this promising era.
The workshops are designed to assist teachers, parents and individuals in learning about biodynamic methods and, importantly, how to meaningfully bring these domestic arts to children of all ages.
Participants will learn biodynamic principles and preparations that can be applied to any environment, from pots on a balcony to a production farm.
$130 AUD (incl. GST) per individual or family (parents and children).
