What an incredible week at the Cosmic and Earthly Impulses Workshop!🌱💫

A BIG thank you to our tutors Inneke and Hans Milder, Marinus La Rooij and Dieter Proebst (not pictured) and of course, the Biodynamic Association Education Coordinator, Su Hoskin for making the workshop happen!

Jan said “It rekindled her love for biodynamics”

Shannon said “Hans, Marinus and Dieter explained the cosmic agriculture in a way that made so much sense”

Beautiful location for the workshop – lunch outside in the sun!
Interactive exercise experiencing the movement of the Sun and Planets
Sunny day and mountains in the background!

The field day to Rippon was a real standout.

The food was nourishing and invigorating.

I appreciated the open discussions and the involvement from the audience – I am so grateful to have listened to the instructors but also the wealth of knowledge of the attendees.

Excursion to Demeter Certified Rippon Vineyard where Nick Mills took us on a tour of the property. What a view!

Heart learning, from people who have worked with body and mind and soul for most of their lives with biodynamics. Rounded days of listening and sparking and talking over and adding to in the -so well catered! – breaks; training eye and hand to observe and re/create, and all in beautiful surroundings, mountains and river and peace.

The discourse and valuable presence of elders as well as the ability to speak one on one with the majority of people attending and presenting was especially beneficial for me.

It was simply inspiring to have Hans, Marinus and Dieter in one room, were you could sense they felt so relaxed in presenting there topics.
