Biodynamics has parallels to Indigenous and Tibetan Buddhist systems. It places the human in right relationship to Heaven and Earth, providing simple, green tools to empower people wherever they dwell to heal the Earth, even on a small scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 2 parts to this workshop. <strong>Participants in both workshops need to bring their own 8 oz clean jar to be used on Saturday and re-used Monday for those registered.<\/strong> The first part is open without registration to everyone. On Saturday morning, after Opening prayers at the Arbor, all Elders Gathering participants are invited to take part in the mixing of a Biodynamic preparation to spread around the Peace Village on that auspicious day\u2013\u2013blessing the Land, opening our hearts and sharing our healing Aloha with the environs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second part is Dr O\u2019s Monday workshop: &#8220;An Introduction to the Biodynamic Spiritual Science of Earth Healing.\u201d &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This workshop is an overview and a practical training in classical Biodynamics as gifted to humanity by the visionary Rudoph Steiner. Dr. O. will explain how to make and use all the core Biodynamic preparations. &nbsp;He will approach this subject from spiritual, mystical, and astrological perspectives, while grounding the practice in the material realm. This will include lecture, contemplation and the gift of a Biodynamic healing preparation for in-person participants to bring home to spread on auspicious dates at their convenience. Dr. O. feels this workshop will help all participants to better care for Mother Earth and her elegant ecological systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop will take place in person at the Sunray Peace Village in Lincoln, Vermont and will also be live streamed for those joining online. Registrants will receive a recording of the workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Come take advantage of this rare opportunity to learn how you can help yourself and others to engage safely and effectively in healing the Earth at your home, and at the Peace Village and your favorite places in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">$16.00<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns_2d1d56-9b{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:center;align-items:center;}.kt-btns_2d1d56-9b .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}.kt-btns_2d1d56-9b .kt-btn-wrap-0{margin-right:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns_2d1d56-9b .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button{color:#000060;background:#fad504;border-color:#fad504;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns_2d1d56-9b .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns_2d1d56-9b .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{color:#fad504;border-color:#36100d;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns_2d1d56-9b .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before{display:none;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns_2d1d56-9b .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns_2d1d56-9b .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{background:#36100d;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kt-btn-align-center kt-btn-tablet-align-inherit kt-btn-mobile-align-inherit kt-btns-wrap kt-btns_2d1d56-9b\"><div class=\"kt-btn-wrap kt-btn-wrap-0\"><a class=\"kt-button button kt-btn-0-action kt-btn-size-standard kt-btn-style-basic kt-btn-svg-show-always kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false\" href=\"https:\/\/events.constantcontact.com\/register\/event?llr=sxiefwcab&amp;oeidk=a07ej9ysrpbe130d48c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\">REGISTRATION CLOSED<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column2235_2b0fc0-54 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column2235_2b0fc0-54 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column2235_2b0fc0-54 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column2235_2b0fc0-54 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column2235_2b0fc0-54 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column2235_2b0fc0-54 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column2235_2b0fc0-54{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column2235_2b0fc0-54 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column2235_2b0fc0-54 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column2235_2b0fc0-54 inner-column-2\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/sunray.org\/eldersgathering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/GF-Mkie-Bastine-256x256_flip.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sunray.org\/eldersgathering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/GF-Mkie-Bastine-256x256_flip.jpg 256w, https:\/\/sunray.org\/eldersgathering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/GF-Mkie-Bastine-256x256_flip-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sunray.org\/eldersgathering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/GF-Mkie-Bastine-256x256_flip-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Elder Mike Bastine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>What Are We Continuing to Learn from the Lingering Effects of this Pandemic for Best Actions Going Forward?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>11:30am-1:00pm EDT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">at the Sunray Peace Village and on Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grandfather Mike is a member of the Algonquin nation, a member of the Bear Clan, a healer, and former student of famous Tuscarora medicine man Wallace \u201cMad Bear\u201d Anderson and Tuscarora healer, Ted Williams, He lives in South Wales, New York.
