URBAN BIODYNAMICS

An Interactive workshop with Dory Rindge

Saturday, October 17, 9:30 a.m.- 4:00 p.m.

Rudolf Steiner Community Center , 110 Martin Alley, Pasadena , 91105. That is in Old Town Pasadena off of Delacey- the alley between Twin Palms Restaurant and the public parking structure.

Suggested donation: $20/$25

9:30 – 12:30: Introduction to biodynamics, current applications and field research
2 – 4: Practical techniques and hands-on experience

During this workshop we will utilize the concepts brought by Rudolf Steiner in 1924 to our urban landscape. What can we do, right here in Los Angeles , to spread the healing and revitalizing effects of the biodynamic preparations? Beginning with an historical account and tracing the growth of this movement, we will look at the current agricultural applications of biodynamics and ongoing field research projects. Then, looking into our own backyards, patios or porches, we will discover ways to incorporate food and flower production into our immediate environment, using these principles. Many general gardening topics will be covered, including: community garden networks in Los Angeles county, container gardening basics, transplanting practice (yes, your hands will get dirty!) and more. There will be something for each participant to take home and nurture into maturity and the day will end with an hour of stirring a biodynamic preparation as a way to begin the transformation! Bring a 2-gallon pail to the afternoon session for transporting your preparation home.

Dory Rindge is an artist and biodynamic advocate working toward the beautification and revitalization of urban spaces. Dory completed the RSC Biodynamic Intensive and is currently a Master Gardener Volunteer with the University of California Cooperative Extension Los Angeles County Common Ground Garden Program . Her interest in earth stewardship began when she was a child in the fertile fields of the Midwest and was renewed when she discovered the work of Rudolf Steiner.

"...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter."
