Biodynamics: Healing The Earth

Biodynamic Farming is a holistic, ethical, and ecological approach to food production that is rooted in the philosophical and scientific work of Dr. Rudolf Steiner. Everything used on a biodynamic farm is created on the farm, and even mundane farm chores are synchronized with planetary movement. To its proponents, it’s also a vitally important step in healing our planet.

Thank you, Shaw Spotlight, for sharing your farm, the livestock, and you with the working team. Here in the Netherlands, there's a School for Farmers, based on Organic and Biodynamic principles, founded by my teacher and a homeopath I knew in the 80s.
I've visited a Biodynamic farm once, in the early 90s, and I'll never forget the energy of that place, the presence of the cows, sheep, and people who live and work on this farm.
This concept of "farming the soil" of a farm as a living being including all that lives and works in it, is clear to me, and it feels like the most natural, practical, and sustainable way of living and nurturing, in giving and taking. I've worked on organic farms and poison-free market gardens since the mid-'80s, in Holland and in Britain. Many farmers grow organic in Britain, without paying money for the certification as organic each year. Officially, all shops sell GMO seeds only. There's a busy network of seed swapping, all-natural and local as well.
In this time of change, I'm creating plant boxes of willow, so that I can grow some leafy vegetables, like chard, pumpkin, and herbs, mixed with marigold and the blue of borage.

I'm surprised I only discovered Biodynamic concepts in the latter handful of years, of a decades-long neopagan spiritual path. So much of what I hear from those already involved, resonates with me in a deep way...

If you're going to talk about adopting a new way of thinking, then I suggest try thinking that all you do is positive response to a positive change that you just don't yet understand. Calling it a crisis and humanity's last stand is an immediate negative input. Instead embrace that the world has always changed and we are existing in just a blip of its history. It's neither a crisis, nor is a last stance for humans. It's simply our time on this earth during its season that is beyond our understanding. Doing the good work and having the pure intent does not need a negative catalyst to justify its need or approach. Respect the season. Respect your ignorance. Open your heart to learn how to interact with what the earth is going through the best and shut out the negative energy that leads to doomsday and syndical thought patterns, as those are even more destructive than the modes you are suggesting are causing the crisis.
