Join us for a two part series on Biodynamics and Sacred Agriculture!
These classes can be taken separately, or together for a deeper dive! Full Series $50
Explore agriculture and the biodynamic preparations through both a scientific and spiritual lens. From the decomposition of herbs in animal organs to the dynamics of structured water and vortex stirring, this class will explain the 'why' and 'how' of using the biodynamic preparations in your gardens and farms.
Learn how these time-tested tools support fungal balance, soil structure, and reconnect us to the lands we inhabit. This is a beautiful practice in land stewardship, reciprocity, and how to more deeply connect to the natural world around you.
