Explore the Foundations of Biodynamic Agriculture

We've brought together a wide range of biodynamic practitioners with decades of experience to help you take the first steps towards understanding the foundations of biodynamics. The webinars will be approachable and conversational with personal reflections from the contributors and plenty of time for questions and answers. Each webinar will explore a theme from Rudolf Steiner's Agriculture Course lectures given in 1924, from which biodynamics grew.
