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.

SUMMARY:5 March - Farmacy Presents - The Science of Taste with Dan Kittredge at Steiner House\, London
DESCRIPTION:This exclusive event in London will be introduced by Patrick Holden\, founder and CEO of the Sustainable Food Trust\, offering a rare opportunity to engage with Dan\, who typically resides in Maine\, USA\, in a community setting conducive to learning and inspiration \nFarmacy presents an evening with Dan Kittredge\, founder of the Bionutrient Institute. \nJoin us to sharpen your understanding of the foundations of nature and how human and plant nutrition are inextricably linked. This exclusive event offers a rare opportunity to engage with Dan\, who typically resides in Maine\, USA\, in a community setting conducive to learning and inspiration. \nDelicious bites will be offered by Farmacy. \nWhat if we told you that nutrient-dense crops are the byproducts of well functioning biological systems? That the effect of flavourful food is health? That nutrient density isn’t connected to farm size\, variety or climate — but is tightly linked to another variable? That climate change is a plant life problem? \nDan Kittredge\, founder of the Bionutrient Institute\, is on a mission to increase quality in the food supply. \nView Farmacy on Instagram Here \nGet Tickets Here \nLocation – Rudolf Steiner house NW1 6XT
