Welcome to "Deepen Biodynamics"
This is the Section for Agriculture's new learning platform, where we will offer various online courses from and with the Section and the whole movement. We hope to enrich the internationally and digitally available range of courses, and thus constructively counter the current situation, where a physical meeting is not always possible.
We aim to offer courses in which the background of biodynamic agriculture is conveyed in an understandable, up-to-date and practice-oriented way and which promote personal initiative and the joy of working for a healthy agriculture.
Participants' existing knowledge will be deepened and put into context. The course will explore both original sources and modern implementation and methodological tools. Participants will broaden their understanding of biodynamics and strengthen their ability to work independently with the Agriculture Course and biodynamic/goethean approaches.
We are looking forward to diving into spirit and matter together!
