Understanding Dr Steiner’s Agriculture Course -in Hawkes Bay NZ

Weekend Seminar 13-15th May 2016     At Taruna College, Havelock North

Biodynamic Agriculture is considered to be based upon Dr Steiner’s 8 agricultural lectures. However there are very people who understand them. Glen Atkinson is one of these few. His 40 years of study, research and practice, (free of the dogma of Anthroposophy) has culminated in a rational story that clarifies and simplifies this difficult series of lectures. 

Clarification of the ‘Cosmic Etheric’

While reading RS medical lectures recently I came across this passage that clarifies his approach to the ‘Cosmic Etheric’ in relation to Plants and then to the Human.

Why does Biodynamics focus on ‘The Etheric Formative Forces?’

In Part 2 of my reorganisation of the Agriculture Course I trust it is very clear that a good 25% of the Dr Steiner’s Agriculture course was dedicated to the practical reality of the four physical activities of Cosmic Forces, Cosmic Substance, Earthly Forces and Earthly Substance. In contrast to this we find Dr Steiner making only a passing comment to the existence of the etheric forces in the second lecture.
