Seek the truly practical, material life
But seek in such a way that it does not numb you to the spirit that works within it.
Seek the Spirit, but not out of spiritual lust or spiritual egoism.
Seek it rather because you wish to become selfless in the practical life of the material world.
Turn to the ancient principle: Spirit never without matter, matter never without Spirit.
And say to yourselves, We will do everything material in the light of the Spirit,
And will seek the light of the Spirit in such a way that it enkindles warmth in us
For our practical deeds.
-Rudolf Steiner-

Stella Natura 2012 Biodynamic Planting Calendar

Picture
The Biodynamic Association of Northern California - BDANC
We are a member-run organization that aims to promote the biodynamic approach to farming and gardening.

We allow time at our meetings for planning. Decisions are made by those who show up.We happen to really like getting together and through BDANC we have the opportunity to:
  • gather a dynamic interchange of people from many arenas of biodynamics
  • spread our collective knowledge, learn from each other and grow together through study
  • get reports of activities in the larger biodynamic and farming community
  • learn about the preps by making them together
  • ensure availability of the preps to the community
  • experience other farms and gardens
  • renew our spiritual intentions and our commitment to each other

We accomplish our goals through:
  • quarterly meetings
  • a quarterly newsletter
  • a membership mailing and emailing list
  • making ans selling the preparations
  • meeting expenses with income from dues and preps

Book Study
Functional Threefoldness in the Human Organism and Human Society, by Johannes Rohen
At the 2012 spring meeting we will begin a year-long study of Threefoldness, using this excellent book as our guide. It is particularly pertinent to the health of our farms now and for the future.
Luke Frey will be leading this study and you can order a book from him at lukemfrey@gmail.com
