Biodynamics for Beginners - Principles and Practice

This collection of articles; compiled primarily by Hugh Courtney from the periodical Applied Biodynamics, introduces the basics of making the essential biodynamic preparations. What is discussed in these articles is much more than just ways to make preparations successfully; it also represents, for the most part, Hughs way of doing so with lots of practical tips for success. The articles are down to earth, literally, with very little theory, and provide the technical knowhow to make the biodynamic preparations described by Rudolf Steiner in his Agriculture Course and further developed ever since by several generations of biodynamic practitioners.

About the author

Hugh J. Courtney (1932-2020) first discovered Rudolf Steiner's Agriculture Course in 1975 at a health food store in College Park, Maryland, which led him to Josephine Porter, who was making the biodynamic preparations according to Steiner's indications. Hugh apprenticed under Josephine and, when she died in 1984, he continued her work, founding the Josephine Porter Institute for Applied Biodynamics in 1985. Hugh was editor of the newsletter Applied Biodynamics.
