What distinguishes Biodynamic agriculture from other methods is that is has an underlying spiritual dimension. It is of course perfectly possible to successfully use the biodynamic method without knowing anything about its spiritual foundations, but on the other hand it is equally true to say that the methodology would not exist, and could never have been developed, without Rudolf Steiner’s awareness and direct spiritual experience of the connections between spirit and matter.
Yet while the spiritual understanding of what lies behind nature’s growth forces does not carry the same practical urgency as growing healthy food, it offers a perspective that makes the world and our lives meaningful.
Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual research has given us practical solutions in many fields, including education, agriculture, medicine, the arts, architecture etc., all of which arose out of his personal spiritual research. His teachings help us understand that we all, humans, animals, plants and minerals alike are evolving together within a meaningful and inter-connected spiritual reality.
In these forthcoming lectures we will explore some of Rudolf Steiner’s teachings and research to help us see the larger picture of how nature, humanity and the spiritual universe form an interconnected whole. Such knowledge can have a profound effect on on our relationship to nature and life in general.

Wrapping up and Q & A
About Johannes Schuster
Johannes Schuster was the founding Class Teacher of the in outer Melbourne in 1987. As subsequent administrator and building designer during the first 20 years of Little Yarra’s establishment phase, he was instrumental in the school’s growth from K- Year 12 and the creation of an inspiring environment of purpose designed buildings, on a beautiful 60 acre property in the Yarra Valley.
With over 45 years background in Anthroposophy, it was Johannes’ interest in the Four Ethers which led to his involvement with architecture, resulting in the creation of an Anthroposophically based theory and methodology of Transformative Art & Architecture (TAA), which he and his wife Sue have been teaching in Australia, Switzerland (Goetheanum 2015 and 2016), Argentina, Malaysia and China, for the last 14 years.
Because of TAA’s wide ranging spiritual scope and Anthroposophical foundations, which include nature’s manifestation process and the spiritual structures behind our physical reality and experience, the TAA course has attracted the interest not only of architects, designers and artists, but also that of Waldorf teachers, therapists, business owners, entrepreneurs and farmers.
This lecture series has been especially created for those interested in the spiritual dimensions behind farming and growing healthy food.
