\n \n Biodynamics begins with the possibility that a farm or garden is more than a collection of soil\, plants\, anim als\, and water. It is a living whole\, shaped by relationships\, rhythms\, histories\, and forces t hat may not reveal themselves at first glance.
\n \nThis weekend is an invitation to look aga in.
\n \nTogether\, we will explore soil\, compost\, plants\, water\, movement\, and form through the practical tools of biodynamics. No prior experience is necessary.
\n \nCuriosity and imagination is enough.< /p>\n \n
Morning: Seeing the Fa rm Anew

This program offers slidi ng scale tuition. When registering\, you will select the cost tier that best aligns with yo ur financial flexibility.
\n \nStudents who a re not available for the entire weekend can still join Jennifer Greene’s session on Water Ph enomenology as spaces allow.
\n \nThis standalone session is $65 and takes place Saturday\, November 14th from 1PM to 4:30PM.
\n \nWhen registering\, you will have the option to enroll in the full weekend or this independent session.
\n \nRegistrations cl ose on Wednesday\, November 11th.
\n \ nIn order to participate in soil chromatograph y exercises using your own soil samples\, make sur e to register by Sunday\, November 1st. Anyone who registers by this date will receive an email with instructions on how to prepare soil samples at ho me.
\n \nStudents do not need to supply their own soil samples to participate in ch romatrography. As a default\, prepared soil sample s from the Horn Farm will be available for everyon e.

DESCRIPTION:\n \n \n \n \n What changes when we stop approachi ng the land only as something to manage\, and begi n approaching it as something we can learn from?\n \n \n Biodynamics begins with the possibility tha t a farm or garden is more than a collection of so il\, plants\, animals\, and water. It is a living whole\, shaped by relationships\, rhythms\, histor ies\, and forces that may not reveal themselves at first glance.\n \n \n \n This weekend is an invit ation to look again.\n \n \n \n Together\, we will explore soil\, compost\, plants\, water\, movemen t\, and form through the practical tools of biodyn amics. No prior experience is necessary.\n \n \n \ n Curiosity and imagination is enough.\n \n \n \n \n Weekend Overview\n \n \n Over two days\, our wo rk will move between classroom inquiry and direct experience in the field\, covering core biodynamic practices and concepts including circular soil ch romatography\, compost preparations\, water phenom enology\, and the biodynamic planting calendar.
