OUR DREAMS and their INSPIRING FORCES


BIODYNAMIC FARMING & WORKING WITH THE GARDEN DEVAS

RUDOLPH STEINER
When you become interested in biodynamic agriculture, you do not get very far into it before you are confronted with Rudolf Steiner. The sheer productivity of Steiner's life is somewhat daunting: over 6,000 lectures, dozens of books, and innovative approaches to education, the arts, medicine, working with people with special needs. An extensive secondary literature exists, and important work has been done, in each of these fields. And if this were not enough, Steiner provided a methodology for spiritual development.

LORIAN
We believe we cannot meet the challenges of our time unless we can honor who we are and where we are as spiritual individuals. We need to unfold the co-creative potentials for transformation and blessing that are present in us as physical persons. Incarnational Spirituality is for us a practice that can accomplish this.

OUR UNSCHOOLING ADVENTURE


EARTH CYCLE CELEBRATIONS

CELEBRATING THE GREAT MOTHER
When we honor the annual cycles of sprouting, growth, fruiting, decaying, dying, and sprouting again, we give ourselves the gift of serenity. There is something deeply satisfying and reassuring about those cycles, a promise of rebirth and renewal while honoring the processes of death and decay. By consciously aligning ourselves with the pattern, we honor our own processes--and we make a deep and powerful connection with our with our planet. It becomes a kind of sacred trust to share this connection with our children.
