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:Water and the Flowform Idea:  Weekend creative workshop\, 18–19 July 2026  Chalford\, Stroud
DESCRIPTION:Run by Ebb and Flow Ltd in conjunction with the Foundation for Water.\nCost: £265 (includes materials). Lunch and refreshments provided. Concessions available.\nTo book or enquire: info@ebbandflowltd.co.uk   Tel   01453 836 060 \nAbout this creative workshop \nWhat conditions allow water to move in rhythmic\, resonant flow—and how can we explore this creatively through making? \nThe workshop explores how surface and material can support harmonious\, dynamic flow\, and how rhythm in water can be practically generated through simple form-making approaches. \nOver two days we begin with simple tabletop experiments and demonstrations of flow using a flow-table and basic wooden constructions. We then work directly with water and clay on the flow-table\, shaping surfaces individually and in groups. These evolving forms respond to the movement of water\, creating a dialogue between maker and medium. \nAll welcome
