Course

The Biodynamic agriculture course will give you new insights into the subtle life activities of a healthy soil. The soil is the foundation of a sound plant, a healthy animal and a balanced human being.

We will learn about the practice and philosophy of biodynamics through a combination of discussions, lectures and practical hands-on activities. We will look at all biodynamic preparations (500-508) and their applications.

Lead instructor Ferdinand Vondruska has more than 30 years experience studying, teaching and practicing biodynamics.
