Weekly farm and garden classes for all ages!
Learn and practice biodynamic agriculture on the oldest biodynamically stewarded and cultivated land in North America. Richly embedded within the Threefold Community in Spring Valley, NY, The Pfeiffer Center’s one-year, part-time practical training enables farmers and gardeners of any variety and experience level to put Rudolf Steiner’s agriculture lectures into practice.
Barbara Renold will lead a study of Rudolf Steiner’s Mystery Dramas, beginning with The Portal of Initiation. Appropriate for beginners and those already familiar with the plays.
Parents/Care-givers and babies meet for an REI inspired bi-weekly class. Tea and light snacks are served for parents. Together, through our observation, we’ll learn to trust and respect the wisdom of our babies. We’ll also learn simple songs and games to strengthen the bond between a care-giver and a baby.
Lectures by Andrew Wolpert and Clifford Venho, artistic workshops, conversation and a festival performance of the Michael Imagination in eurythmy by Eurythmy Spring Valley.
In this course, we'll design and sew garments using cotton, linen, wool, and silk. We’ll draft patterns and hand-sew, practicing a meditative approach. Explore sewing techniques, plant dyeing, and embroidery to create unique pieces. Classes include inspiring activities for all skill levels, from beginners to experienced artisans.

The Light Eurythmy Ensemble invites you to a eurythmy performance for all ages! Enter into the delightful world of animals and fairies, followed by the beloved tale of The Turnip, in which the whole group's task can only succeed when the smallest, most inconspicuous member of the community joins in the effort!
