Biodynamics
Using the four elements theory, Dennis explores the alchemical relationships between natural forces and human consciousness. He takes us on a journey using the language of alchemy into the smallest interactions in the mineral world and then through the elements out into the cosmos, sharing imaginative exercises and practices for personal work to improve your perception of these forces. With this new vision, the true meaning of “turning lead into gold” becomes clear.
The snake biting its own tail is Paracelsus’ picture of a spagyric remedy: a plant taken apart, each part purified, then married together again at a higher order. What that means in practice, from root and seed to the slow digestions that bring them together.
These presentations go into the particulars of high quality fermenting and the construction and use of the proper laboratory equipment for small scale extraction.
It is with great pleasure that I share with you a development in Dennis’ work on sacred agriculture. Kensuke Shimizu has translated the book into Japanese and it is now available for those who want to deepen their understanding of biodynamics and the inner work that underlies it. In Sacred Agriculture, Dennis shares his insights…
What if farming could be a spiritual path? What if the way we stir a preparation or plant a seed was inseparable from the way we think, imagine, and perceive? In this lecture, Dennis Klocek explores the meeting place of biodynamic practice and inner development, where the rhythms of earth and cosmos converge with human…
In this video, Dennis shows us how to create high-quality compost using fava beans and clover as green manure. The process involves macerating and shredding these plants to produce nutrient-rich soil without the need for traditional fertilizers. Discover how to tiller fava beans for better nitrogen sequestration and see simple methods used to shred and…

This collection captures in-depth presentations, panel discussions, and Q&A sessions with leading voices in regenerative agriculture, biodynamic practice, and holistic ecology. Whether you’re a seasoned farmer, a curious gardener, or someone drawn to the intersection of land stewardship…
In this lecture, Dennis speaks to the evolution of biodynamic practices, emphasizing the importance of harmonizing scientific research and spiritual perceptions. Through his years of research and personal experiences, he discusses the limitations of the traditional four elements theory, advocating instead for a method that balances polarities—a concept he calls ‘tempering.’ He highlights the significance…
Join us for a panel discussion on the integration of biodynamics, health, and spiritual meaning. In this episode, panelists delve into the significance of finding purpose and meaning through biodynamic practices, the impact of technology on agriculture and health, and the role of education in opening dialogues about these vital practices. Discover insights from these…
In typical esoteric work, we’re asked to step outside the physical sense realm in order to achieve communion with spiritual beings. However, in Biodynamic practice we have the opportunity to approach the supersensible realm from the opposite direction: imbuing our perception of physical matter with such intensity of consciousness that we can breakthrough to spiritual…
