Agricultural course: The birth of the Biodynamic Method
When Rudolf Steiner gave these lectures 80 years ago, industrial farming was on the rise and organic methods were being replaced in the name of science, efficiency and technology. With the widespread alarm over the quality of food in recent years, and the growth of the organic movement and its mainstream acceptance, perceptions are changing. The qualitative aspect of food is once again on the agenda, and in this context Rudolf Steiner's only course on agriculture is critical to the current ...read more

Blackboard Drawings 1919-1924
Rudolf Steiner recorded his view of the world in many books, but also in over 5,000 lectures. Here, he explained his ideas on a wide range of subjects: education, science, the social question, art, architecture, medicine and agriculture. Steiner spoke freely, using only minimal notes. But when explaining conceptually difficult subject matter he frequently resorted to illustrating what he was saying with coloured chalks on a large blackboard. After the lecture the drawings were rubbed out and ...read more

First Steps in Inner Development
Rudolf Steiner is perhaps best known for his influence and wisdom in the fields of education, agriculture, medicine, science, and art.

It is often forgotten that it was as a spiritual teacher that he made these contributions. Unfortunately, while his immediate students had the advantage of Steiner as a personal guide to their inner lives, later readers have had only his written works to guide them.

Steiner, however, did give a few lectures on inner development—especially on ...read more

Rosicrucian Wisdom
Steiner's is unique, in that it combines esoteric teaching with practical suggestions for social development. He is best known today for the application of his ideas to education, medicine, and agriculture.

In Rosicrucian Wisdom (one of his most complete introductions to modern spirituality), Steiner’s basis is the stream of Rosicrucian teaching—not the ...read more

What Is Biodynamics?
In 1924 - in response to questions about the depletion of soils and a general deterioration of crops and livestock - Rudolf Steiner gave eight lectures on “the spiritual foundations for a renewal of agriculture.” Based on his suggestions and spiritual science, generations of farmers, gardeners, viticulturist, and researchers developed biodynamics as a healing, nurturing, holistic, ecological, organic, and spiritual approach to a sustainable care of the Earth.
