SUMMARY:Wholistic Living University Online Biodynamic Gardening Course & New Range of Practical Workshops on: Biodynamic Beekeeping\, Living Water\, and more
DESCRIPTION:A Seasonally Oriented Ecology of Biodynamic Practices\nThe existing and forthcoming programme hosted by Wholistic Living University (WHLU) is conceived as a seasonally orientated ecology of biodynamic practices\, with practical gardening and land-based work at its core. The primary emphasis lies in the biodynamic/wholistic approach to growing food\, enhancing biodiversity\, the restauration of soils\, building life-giving compost\, understanding plant rhythms\, developing clear observation skills\, and discovering the seasonal gesture\, supported by in-person practical experiences\, online learning\, masterclasses\, and the WHLU Calendar Club\, created to accompany those working consciously with the WHLU 2026 Grow your Own Health Calendar. \nAlongside this land-oriented core\, the programme is enriched through complementary strands including biodynamic beekeeping\, water phenomenology and flowform work\, observational and sensory schooling\, and embodied movement and formative arts. These offerings are developed with experienced practitioners and partner organisations\, allowing participants to encounter living processes\, soil\, plants\, water\, bees\, form\, and movement through a multi-disciplinary approach to develop coherent perspectives. Together\, these strands support the cultivation of perceptive\, responsible\, and future-oriented biodynamic/wholistic practices. \nIn the light of new emerging needs and a changing economic and social paradigm we have restructured all our courses and workshops and come up with following offerings from the Wholistic Living University for 2026/27: \nTo engage with a learning journey with us find us here: – Website: www.whlu.org \nNEW!\n– Patreon: to be launched in August\n– YouTube: Wholistic Living University (free short videos on biodynamic practices)\n–  Facebook – follow us on  https://www.facebook.com/wholisticlivinguniversity/ \nGet your Grow your Own ( GYOH) Calendar 26 ( PDF)\nGYOH Calendar 26: a detailed journey through the gardening year harmonizing our inner relationship to nature and the cosmos towards optimal wellbeing\nCost £!0\nFree copy for all members of following organisations: BDA\, FoodFindersHub\, PFFA\, CABI\n50% Discount on all courses if you obtain your GYOH Calendar 26.

He proposed various measures for creating health in the agricultural field including biodynamic preparations\, which offer the possibility of acting on the fertility of the soil\, the health of plants and the quality of agricultural products.\nOver time\, through practice and experimentation\, the way in which these preparations are developed and applied has evolved to become ever more effective. \nIn this workshop\, we take a look at what we know today about how and when to use them and what  results can be expected.  Come and be inspired and informed \nThe following will be covered:\n* The birth of biodynamics: background and history\n* Plant nutrition and soil fertility\n* A few photos of soil  profiles using a spade fork\n* Big ideas : the farm organism\, multiple interactions described in the Farmers’ Course\, salutogenesis \n*Biodynamic preparations: effects\, application and results \nCompost preparations 502-507\nPreparation 500\nCompound preparations: history and current situation\nPreparation 501\nApplication of spray preparations (conditions and implements): water quality and temperature\, stirring\, spraying\, choice of moment and conditions of application. \n* Field results\nA look at recent institutional research results \n* Making of the Biodynamic Preparations \nOutline Progamme and times \nFriday 18th October 2024\n6pm Supper ( on request  – please book £10 per person – see ticket options below) \n7.30pm -9 pm Welcome and  evening lecture \nSaturday 19th October 2024 \n9am till 12.30 pm Workshop Sessions  – including coffee break and lunch\n(BDA AGM – 2-4 + farm walk – please book in for this – see ticket options below)\n6pm  – Supper\n7.15pm  – 9pm Evening lecture \nSunday 20th October 2024\n9am till 12.30pm  -Workshop session including a packed lunch\n2pm to 4pm – Preparation Makers practical workshop (Only for people  actually making preparations) \nCosts: Accomodation is not included – please see below for suggestions of where to stay\nFriday evening meal £10\nWorkshop Cost  Friday 7.30pm  to Sunday Lunch inclusive £150\nBDA Member/licensee rate £135\nBOOKING – please scroll down to the ticket section below and click on the + button next to the ticket to add 1 ticket to your basket.  If you want to have supper on the Fri night / attend the AGM  / attend the Practitioners only part of the workshop simply add these to your basket as appropriate and then checkout following the instructions. \nYou can also book over the phone 01453 759501  ( office hours 9-1 Mon to Fri)\nBooking deadline 11th October 2024\n \nBDA can issue certificates of attendance to this workshop as part of your professional training and development – please ask in advance if a CPD certificate is wanted. \nBursaries are available to help with the cost of attending  – please email Office@biodynamic.org.uk to enquire. \nLocal Accomodation:\nGeneral Online search websites Booking.Com or AirBnB\nTravelodge\nPremier Inn\nBalmoral Guest House\nBannatyne Hotel\n\nTravel info: Nearest train station to the venue is Darlington.
