Building upon the April 4 lecture “Earth and Cosmos as One Organism” Manfred Klett will lead a hands-on workshop in which we'll develop an understanding of the biodynamic compost preparations. Manfredd will introduce imaginative pictures for each of the six compost preparations and also talk about the natural scientific properties at work in the compost pile. We'll learn about the role and application of each preparation. This special workshop is presented in honor of Lora Krogman's life and passions. Discount available as part of Rudolf Steiner series.

Have you ever dreamed of starting your own farm? In this interactive workshop, we'll learn about types of sustainable farming careers in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, take part in a series of self-assessments, and be better prepared to decide whether to pursue a farming business is the right choice for you. We'll hear about regional training opportunities through the Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training (CRAFT), university extension, small business development centers, and others. Includes a presentation of farming enterprises, a tour of a growing site, and an opportunity to ask questions about the development of successful local farms.
