Understanding the Biodynamic Calendar: A Summer Solstice Workshop
A Summer Solstice introduction to one of the most practical & fascinating tools in biodynamic agriculture: the Biodynamic Planting Calendar.
Join us on the Summer Solstice for an introduction to one of the most practical and fascinating tools in biodynamic agriculture: the Biodynamic Planting Calendar.
Used by farmers, gardeners, and ranchers around the world, the biodynamic calendar tracks the rhythms of the moon, planets, and constellations to guide planting, cultivation, harvesting, and soil care.
In this hands-on workshop we will explore how these cosmic rhythms influence plant growth, soil fertility, and overall garden health. Using Maria Thun’s Biodynamic Calendar, participants will learn how to interpret the calendar and apply it in practical ways at home or on the farm.
The morning will include a short lecture, a group exercise to practice reading the calendar, hands-on planting in the garden, and a guided tour of Sustainable Settings Ranch.
Whether you are new to biodynamics or looking to deepen your relationship with seasonal rhythms, this class will offer a practical and inspiring introduction.
What You'll Learn
- The history and purpose of the Biodynamic Calendar
- How lunar and planetary rhythms influence plant growth
- Understanding root, leaf, flower, and fruit days
- How farmers use the calendar to guide planting and harvesting
- How the calendar can support soil fertility and plant health
- How to begin applying these rhythms in your own garden
Who Should Attend
This class is perfect for:
- Gardeners and farmers
- People interested in biodynamic agriculture
- Anyone curious about lunar and cosmic rhythms in nature
- Students of regenerative agriculture
No prior experience is required.
What to Bring
- A notebook if you'd like to take notes
- Comfortable clothing for light outdoor activities
Additional Notes
This event takes place outdoors at Sustainable Settings Ranch. Please arrive a few minutes early so we can begin promptly.
