Join us for a deep and diverse exploration of how farmers, gardeners, and land stewards can cultivate relationships within the interconnected realms of earth, cosmos, and community.
What are practical and grounded ways we can work with the land and develop co-creative partnerships with our soils, plants, and animals?
How does life on Earth relate to the sun, moon, stars, and planets—and what can we do to bring our work on the land into greater harmony with the cosmos?
How can we bring service, reverence, and justice into our farming, gardening, and land stewardship?
How can we cultivate a living relationship with biodynamics in its full range of practical and spiritual dimensions, to support our work for healing and transformation?
