This keynote address given in Madison Wisconsin at the National Biodynamic Conference began with an explanation of how numinous experience of the transcendent dimension of nature is transformed into an experience of the sacredness of nature through understanding. The idea was enlarged into a description of the difference between the ancient hunter religion and the planter religion recognized by anthropologists.
The planter idea of the corn hero was then applied to the current task of healing the planet through an insight into the rhythms of the planets. This was then formed into a meditative exercise that can be performed in the evening by those who wish to enter more deeply into the task of healing the earth through the pursuit of sacred agriculture.
Dennis Klocek, MFA, is co-founder of the Coros Institute, an internationally renowned lecturer, and teacher. He is the author of nine books, including the newly released Colors of the Soul; Esoteric Physiology and also Sacred Agriculture: The Alchemy of Biodynamics. He regularly shares his alchemical, spiritual, and scientific insights at soilsoulandspirit.com.

The Heart of Communication: Tone, Trust, and Owning the Misunderstanding
This talk explores the heart of communication: learning to listen without “jamming” the other person, so real dialogue can happen. You will learn why tone carries more impact than content, and how trust rises or collapses based on the feeling underneath the words. Through practical tools like “owning the misunderstanding” (I-messages), avoiding blame-based “you-messages,” and using simple reset signals when conversations heat up, you will leave with a clear method for de-escalation and clarity. The evening includes a guided partner exercise that turns miscommunication into collaboration, even when ideas feel hard to name. Ideal for communities, couples, parents, and teams who want less conflict, more honesty, and a stronger container for shared life.
