Glen Williamson and Lauri Portocarrero -Crafted from actual events and discourse, Fire in the Temple dramatizes the last days of teacher and clairvoyant Rudolf Steiner and brings to the stage the people who surrounded him. Ancient memories and faithful friendships persist, as Dr. Steiner works to waken people to hidden realities. His pupils struggle to grasp their task, but religious and political enemies oppose him. Two extraordinary women, his wife Marie Steiner von Sivers and physician Dr. Ita Wegman, are among those who stood by him until the very day of his death – and beyond. Their personal conflicts, hopes and sorrows are sensitively portrayed in this rigorously researched drama. http://AnthroposTheater.com

The 100 Year Celebration and Re Enactment of the Agriculture Course

June 30, 2024

Starts Oct 4 2024

Long Hungry Creek Farm
in Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee

If you are reading this page, then you have probably been influenced by the ideas put forth by Rudolf Steiner 100 years ago. We are grateful for the tremendous breadth and depth of thought and heart brought forth by Dr. Steiner, and for the continuing influence of the Agriculture Course in our own lives and in the global community of farmers and stewards.

In the spirit of honoring those works and celebrating their goodness, we invite you to join us, beginning on Friday, October 4, as we read each of the Agriculture lectures aloud and discuss the meaning and impact of biodynamic farming. Following the path set forth with the Whitsun event 100 years ago, we will also work our way through the Karmic lectures, and hopefully the lectures for youth as well. We are attracting a multidisciplinary crowd for this in-depth exploration and celebration, including farmers, eurythmists, scientists, physicians, and more.

JPI SPRING WORKSHOP

March 27, 2023
May 12-14th 2023 Spring Workshop Announcement

Spring Workshop Announcement Details (meals included)The mission of biodynamics has always been one of fostering health for the purpose of universal human freedom.

The goal of the “farm organism” is so that every farm might source from within its own boundaries, all its own fertility needs that stream in from the cosmos.

One of the most transformative effects of the biodynamic preparations is not just on the soil, but on the imaginations of those who practice making the preparations. New possibilities open up when you practice creating with your own hands the fruits of a remarkable intuition.

Join us at the Josephine Porter Institute for a hands-on practical experience learning some of the subtle aspects of making biodynamic preparations.

Join us from Friday evening May 12th – midday Sunday May 14th, 2023 for food, fellowship, and inspiration!
