Tuesday 18 October 2022, 7-9pm (GMT)

This is the first in our 4-part winter discussion series exploring some of the key themes in the Agriculture Course lectures which form the foundations of Biodynamics. We will look at the concept of expansion and contraction, an essential tool in observing life and nature. Two-foldness can be seen in processes of lime and silica, form and substance, in the workings of distant and near planets and through the spray preparations 500/501. The webinar will explore the 2-foldness in these different processes and in the plant. This theme relates to lectures 1, 2 and 4.
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.
