Well this is a new one on me, although I realise it's probably not for all you Steiner fans. I know nothing of Steiner or biodynamics, but it's featured on some TV programmes lately and I'm curious. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodynamic_agriculture

What do you know of this peeps? Any experience practically?

And where's a good place to start with reading Steiner?

Thanks Wheels of cheese.
I'm chuffed.
Do read steiner's books when you get the chance, I find them hard to read but they are meant to make you think, spiritual science and all that.
I started with 'The Gospel of St John' and I haven't been able to read too much since then but I will get around to it.
Did you know there are Steiner schools?

I tried to start with Occult Science ages ago... it was so dry I couldnt handle it.
Later on I jumped straight into the very deep end and eventually went with what resonated..im now reading books i would have turned down last year..

But to get you "in" i would recommend Karma of Materialism.... & his Berlin lectures on life between death and rebirth.

My step-grand parents founded the first steiner school in australia so I'm getting immersed in it now. Im so in love with the system... so beautiful.

Sunchild I would love to send my children to a Steiner school but here in N.Ireland I would be afraid of making an example of my child and ostricising him for being different. Sad I know. I would have loved it myself.
Wow to have step grandparents like that would be so cool!

The gifts of wisdom and imagination far out weighs the judgments of being a little different....just my take ~ confidence and courage birth greater worlds.

I'll check it out. My boys are very young, nursery age. There is only one school in n. Ireland. The only alternative is to teach the kids what I know of anthroposophy.
