Ueli Hurter public presentation 1 – Biodynamic responses to the climate crisis and social and planetary healing

Bio-Dynamics Tasmania has organised a series of events to celebrate the 100 years anniversary of Rudolf Steiner’s agriculture lectures, which in time became known as the birth of bio-dynamic agriculture. These events are part of a suite of events across Australia and New Zealand designed to celebrate the BD centenary.

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.

Ueli Hurter has been the co-head of the Agriculture Section at the Goetheanum since 2010 and currently sits on the executive board of the International Biodynamic Association. A native of Switzerland, he completed agricultural appreticeships in Switzerland, Germany and France. He has formerly served as President of the Swiss Demeter association and as Swiss spokesman to Demeter International.

Sub-topics in this presentation may include:

The effects of separating humans from nature, and strategies to turn this around
Contrasting conventional, organic, and biodynamic farming method and outcomes
Healing and regenerative aspects of BD principles and practices
Enlivenment and enhancement of living systems
BD working with soil, soul and social forces
Moving from conflictual to harmonious dynamics in farming/gardening and social contexts
