Thursday 16 February 2023, 7-9pm (GMT)

This is the final webinar 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 we will discuss the idea of the self sustained farm organism as it is presented in the lectures. How does the farm organism come together through the diversity of different biomes in the land, the concepts of having the correct livestock and manure to feed the fields and the fields to feed the farm’s livestock, and the forces working from above and below. This theme relates to lectures 2, 7 and 8.
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.
