2024 marks a centenary of the biodynamic movement. It has been 100 years since Rudolf Steiner presented the Agriculture Lectures in Europe, which were the start of what became known as Organic and Biodynamic Agriculture. To acknowledge the Centenary, Ueli Hurter from Switzerland, the head of biodynamics globally, is undertaking a speaking tour of Australia in May. Mr Hurter will be speaking on a range of topics to address current issues such as food security, climate change, farm sustainability, and what Biodynamics can offer for environmental and social sustainability.
The celebrations in Tasmania aim to develop authentic dialogue between healing and regeneration across land, people and community, such that new harmonies may emerge and guide further BD developments into the future.
There is a mix of smaller group activities (a range of applications of biodynamic practices), facilitated discussions on a range of BD related topics (e.g., lunar and planetary cycles) and growing edges for BD (e.g., dialogue between Indigenous and BD approaches to caring for land), and more focussed discussions (e.g., Anthroposophy and community; exploring the herbs used for in BD preparations making; etc). Each of these activities represent different facets of the role BD can/does play in responding to major challenges all of us face, such as climate change, food security and quality, cost of living, and building regenerative communities. These challenges will be the focus of two public presentations by Ueli Hurter on Wednesday 8th May and Thursday 9th May evenings in the UTas Law Lecture Theatre 229 Sandy Bay. Ueli’s Wednesday evening presentation is supported by a BD introductory presentation by Australian elder in Bio-Dynamics and Astro-Calendar creator Brian Keats entitled - Biodynamics Unlimited: Sensing into the future.
