Rudolf Steiner pointed to a sequence from the founding of the Christian Community in September 1922, to the burning of the Goetheanum at the end of that year, to the Christmas Conference.

In ten Saturday workshops from September to May, we design and sew four garments using four natural fibers (cotton, linen, wool, and silk) to create a complete outfit.

Over the course of the year we experience different sewing techniques, plant dyeing, and embroidery as we create our own unique fabric and garments.
In thirteen full-day workshops from September to June, this one-year part-time practical training in biodynamics covers the basic principles and timely activities of biodynamic agriculture through the seasons.
