Editor’s note: this letter was sent to the Soil, Soul and Spirit list in autumn 2022, when the Transformation of Substance lectures were newly posted.

Hi friends,

Thanks to our donors, my assistant and I have been publishing new content to soilsoulandspirit.com regularly. (I don’t always send out updates immediately.)

With all this talk of “soul work”, I wanted to share some biodynamics articles and lectures that have been posted recently. 

The enlivening forces that a biodynamic approach brings to growing food and medicine are needed more than ever. Dennis’ recent work has been focused on making plant sprays out of gem and plant ferments that enhance specific growth patterns (for more on this check out the Gem and Plant course).

Dennis’ insights come from years of looking at plants and gems through an alchemical lens, that is to say, with an eye toward the universal patterns in the whole of creation.

This update shares a new audio lecture Transformation of Substance, two new articles on making powerful substances and the role of imagination in redeeming nature. Finally, we end with a video about creating sacred garden space. 

Warmly,
Ben Klocek
