Ben’s Workshop
Introduction to Biodynamics and Integration Through Hands On Practice
Ben Nommay, M Mueller and Daniela María offer their rich and diverse experience in biodynamics. Join them to learn hands-on preparation making, basic biodynamic guide lines, and practical applications. Together we will explore the importance of all 9 biodynamic preparations – the foundational impact of horn manure and horn silica – as well as how each compost preparation supports all growing phases of a plant from seed to fruit. These concepts will be presented in a two part series.
