SUMMARY:An Introduction to Gardening the Biodynamic Way Sunday 28 September 2pm - 5pm\, London
DESCRIPTION:With Dr Sue Peat and Douglas Davidson\nVenue: Rudolf Steiner House\, 35 Park Rd\, London\, NW1 6XT https://rsh.anth.org.uk/\nTimings: 2-5PM\nCost and Booking: All welcome\, no need to book. Full £10\, Concession £5 \nAbout this workshop: \nBiodynamics is an organic method of cultivation arising out of Rudolf Steiner’s Spiritual research. It was his response to questions from farmers who were unhappy with ‘chemical’ agriculture. Biodynamics works with the rhythms of the movements of the Sun\, Moon\, planets and stars\, to which the plants respond. The workshop will cover the background of the biodynamic planting calendar and using the biodynamic preparations. It’s Autumn\, a time to harvest\, enjoy the changing colours and plan for next year. The workshop will include presentations of research that demonstrate the benefits that biodynamics brings to the environment\, the soil\, the plants and to improvements in food quality.  \nFor the last hour\, you get an opportunity to stir the horn manure preparation (known as 500)\, so bring an empty screw top bottle if you would like to take some home. A 500ml bottle is enough for an average garden. The workshop is suitable for those new to biodynamics and for anyone who would like to give their garden\, window boxes or house plants a winter treat!  \nSue and Douglas are enthusiastic gardeners with lots of practical experience in biodynamic gardening.

SUMMARY:Nature Spirits: Recovering our Dialogue  - Nourishing renewal for ourselves and the Earth\, Llangammarch Wells\, 4th - 6th April 2025\,  With Susan Raven
DESCRIPTION:Venue:  Serenity House\, Llangammarch Wells\, LD4 4BY\nDates and Timings: Starting at 6.30 pm with supper on Friday 4th April and finishing at 2 pm after lunch on Sunday 6th April 2025 Cost and booking: Group size limited to 16 people\, so book now to ensure a place.\nEarly Bird Discount until 31st January 2025\nResidential: Early Bird £230\, Regular £250. £10 reduction per person if sharing a room.\nNon-residential: Early Bird £120\, Regular £140.    Some concessionary places are available.\nFor enquiries and bookings:  Contact Alan Heeks: alanheeks@gmail.com\, tel. 07494 203014. \n “The Nature Spirits are waiting to be reunited with us\, and as emissaries of higher spiritual beings\, they wish to be of great assistance to us at this time\, but we have to step into their world and meet them in their own territory. It is time to engage in dialogue and relearn a living world wisdom from the elemental kingdom.” \nThis weekend will help you play your part in regenerating the vitality of the earth\, water and air\, which are so degraded at present. The elementals and other Nature spirits who sustain our ecosystems urgently need human connection to sustain themselves and their vital work. \nNature speaks\, and everything in Nature is communicable. The intelligent beings of Nature wish to communicate and co-create with an awake and aware humanity. \nSo how do we contact them? How do we learn from them? How do we enter the dream-time of their world? How do we interpret the sensations we experience with them? And how are we transformed by our meeting with them? \nAt this workshop we will be exploring the methods used for seership and communication as described by the philosopher\, scientist and seer\, Rudolf Steiner. We will be focusing on ways in which we can build a mutually rewarding line of communication with the nature spirits\, so that we may receive information and insight into their world. By working together with the elementals -which reside in earth\, water\, air and fire -we can become responsible co-creators at this critical time in our evolution. In this workshop Susan will be describing the activities of the nature spirits in the landscape\, in plants and in the human being. We will be looking at ways in which we can effectively help these generous inhabitants of the supersensible realm for the ultimate benefit of us all. \nSusan Raven is an experienced facilitator and also a talented singer and musician. She has worked with the methods and exercises described by Rudolf Steiner for seeing into the supersensible realms\, and has also trained with Dorian Schmidt\, director of the Biodynamic Research Institute. Susan is author of the popular book ‘Nature Spirits: The Remembrance: A guide to the Elemental Kingdom’\, featured in the Cygnus magazine\, Nexus\, Star & Furrow and Caduceus. See www.susanraven.com. \nWorkshop content  Our process will be participative and experiential. We’ll spend substantial time outdoors\, engaging with nature spirits in the garden at our venue\, and in the wild open hills of the Mynydd Epynt nearby. \nDuring the weekend we will be exploring: \n\nRudolf Steiner’s ‘Six Essential Exercises’ for awakening supersensible perception\, with special emphasis on control of thinking and control of feeling. (It is more important to be in a state of Grace than to be ‘right’ if you wish to enter the realm of the nature spirits!)\nThe significance of colour on the inner and outer screen.\nThe language of sense\, sound and movement.\nProtocols for greeting and questioning the nature spirits.\nWays in which the human being can help the elementals return to their right and proper sphere.\n\nOur venue: Serenity House\nSerenity House is in the quiet village of Llangammarch Wells\, in the beautiful Irfon Valley\, with high hills nearby. It is formerly a small hotel\, lovingly refurbished as a retreat centre\, with 12 en suite bedrooms\, 22 bed spaces\, and a delightful garden bordered by a stream. \nSerenity House is in mid-Wales\, easily reached by car (Bristol 2 hours\, Birmingham 2.5: postcode LD4 4BY)\, and Llangammarch’s tiny station is only 100 yards away (on the Shrewsbury-Swansea line). \nPracticalities:\nFood: The price includes vegetarian food for the whole weekend. To deepen our sense of community and keep costs down\, we’re asking all participants to help with food preparation\, table laying\, etc. \nResidential or non-residential: The venue has twin\, double and single rooms\, or you can book on a non-residential basis\, which includes all meals.

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
