How can we build a broader relationship with the world that goes beyond the farm and the immediate surroundings?
Our aim is to encourage people to look to the biosphere and its interaction with the atmosphere and the cosmic activities. We would like to become familiar with the activities in the cosmos so that they guide our practical activities.
Together, we develop tools for farmers that support further research in this field. The meetings will include studying astronomical principles to discover patterns and processes in the universe, discovering ancient practices and gardening calendars, and observing cosmic activities in the cosmos and on earth. To keep our feet on the ground, we will refer to practical experiences and explore in exercises and group work how the new insights can help us in our individual daily farming practice.
Main language is English with Spanish interpretation.
