Thursday 19 January 2023, 7-9pm (GMT)
This is the third in our 4-part winter discussion series exploring some of the key themes in the Agriculture Course lectures which form the foundations of Biodynamics. In this webinar participants will be able to make first steps into understanding the use and purpose of the Biodynamic preparations as they are presented in the agriculture course. The way the different preparations' ingredients, treatments and use are described in the lectures will be discussed. This theme relates to lectures 4, 5 and 6.
In addition to the webinar, you will have access to online resources exploring the topic. To get the most out of the discussion, we suggest that participants read the relevant lectures from Rudolf Steiner's Agriculture Course ahead of the webinar. If you don't have a copy of the Agriculture course you can purchase through the Biodynamic Association.
