A month or so ago, Dennis shared something special with me – an old three-ring binder containing articles from Biodynamics Journal from the 70s and 80s, when he was first learning about biodynamics.

We had been discussing how Biodynamic research seems to have shifted with the focus on profit. Dennis reflected that the research he encountered as an early student really held a lot of heart.

I’ve scanned these articles and would love to share them with you, hoping they might inspire you as well. They should be searchable, but cut and paste doesn’t really work.

It’s my understanding that these older magazines can be downloaded from https://soilandhealth.org/bio-dynamics-page/. Please consider supporting Steve and the Biodynamic Association (USA) for making these available. They are a priceless resource.

Warmly,
Ben Klocek
