Biodynamic perspectives worldwide

The Section for Agriculture invites the worldwide biodynamic movement to join the discussion.

This is the opportunity to put forward ideas, strategies, principles and approaches in current biodynamic practice, research, training and processing. The debate focuses in particular on how to work with the current challenges of our times.

Have you always wanted to find out what actually underlies biodynamic agriculture, how the research on this is carried out, how it has developed and who is currently leading the movement?

Or are you interested in how biodynamic ideas such as the agricultural organism, land-based animal husbandry and the training of perception are currently put into practice in different parts of the world?

Then you have come to the right place. The podcast is intended for all those who are curious to learn more about biodynamic agriculture and its approaches to solving our present-day problems.

#9 Biodynamic Insights: UK with Rosalyn Scottland

|   Living Farms - Podcast

In this episode we talk with Rosalyn Scottland about how she came across biodynamic farming and what her insights are from farming in this way.

Rosalyn grew up in Devon on a 2 acre small holding with her parents, grandparents and brothers cultivating her love for, and innate sense of reciprocity between, all animate life. 

With her husband she is now the custodian of a small mixed, 1000 year old, 60 acre farm, by the river Dart in Devon, England, tending a small flock of sheep, 2 ½ acres of apple orchards and a small cottage garden. 

She came to experience Biodynamics (BD) about 12 years ago through her local BD group and BD community garden. Since then, she has delved deeper and deeper into the practice and theory, and become an active member of the SWBD group hosting Compost Preparation days, study groups on The Agricultural Lectures and workshops charting the stars and planets.  

She has also studied Einreibung massage, anthroposophical homecare nursing and Anthroposophical Medicine with a particular interest in embryology. Her current research focus is in deepening her understanding and practice as a shepherd and grower in the relationship between things; sheep and shepherd, nettle and butterfly, stream and newt, apple blossom and bee informed by particular Lectures from Rudolf Steiner’s The Festivals and Their Meaning and her recent foray into Harmony of The Creative Word. 

In 2006 she studied Goethean Science at Schumacher College UK, she is a Practitioner and Teacher in the somatics practice The Experiential Anatomy of Body-Mind Centering® and the founding director of SOEL (School Of Experiential Learning). www.tsoel.org.uk
