Description

The workshop blends the inspired processes of plant observation through active thinking from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, with Rudolf Steiner’s indications on thinking, feeling and willing as a lens to understand human development and as a pathway to engaging our spiritual nature. Through the structured activities, group processes, guided discussion and eurthmy, participants can expect an opening to higher levels of plant perception. To be at one with the plant!

The workshop is suitable for:

  • For gardeners experienced in organic and biodynamic methods, looking for a pathway to understanding plant vitality and the impact of biodynamic preparations.

  • For teachers, seeking new methods of engaging students in nature

  • For students of Steiner’s anthroposophy, to understand how Steiner transformed Goethe’s work

  • For nature lovers seeking healing experiences from a deeper connection to nature


"Thank you Peter for the opportunity to attend the workshop. For me it was life changing as I listened to other participants perceptions of what they experienced it showed me ‘What else is Possible’ and thus how much more I can develop my perceptions with plants." Satya

" Peter is a very kind and gentle facilitator that allows space for and supports people to connect to themselves and the plants in ways they otherwise may not.  The workshop was a very profound and opening experience.  Thank you Peter"  Ishtar President BDFNQ
