Dig into BIODYNAMICS and KOREAN NATURAL FARMING

LEARN PRACTICAL TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES TO START NOURISHING SOIL, IMPROVE PLANT HEALTH, AND AMPLIFY YOUR WELL-BEING

There are a lot of summits, trainings, and workshops out there for farmers and gardeners. So what makes this one different?

First, this is a summit we built for you because we understand you care about nature, you want to be a part of making living soil, you care about the food you grow, and you deeply care about growing nutritious and delicious food for people to eat and enjoy.

You might have heard about Biodynamics and Korean Natural Farming and you want to learn more about it, what it is, how it's practiced, and discover how you can integrate it into your farm.

Every presentation is unique, making it super practical and easy to learn, understand, and implement strategies right away.

We're not here to add to your plate. Our goal isn't to throw new ideas at you, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and like there's no way you can do it all.

Instead, we're here to amplify what you're already doing and optimize it in a way that makes your farm more profitable while creating more of a connection with the rhythms of life!

And, we want to make life easier for you, by bringing together some of the most well-respected and deeply valued voices in Biodynamics and Korean Natural Farming in one place.

 

From around the world, here's what participants are saying...

Bob, Ontario Canada

“There were many excellent webinars.

I have been to sessions with Elaine Ingram several times but her recorded interview was outstanding and learning about her research should be essential for everyone.

Vandana Shiva has been a mentor for me over many decades. Her interview was most inspiring. I have read many of her books and articles and I referenced her several times in my article on Agroecology in the 2021 summer edition of Ecological Farming in Ontario.

Dr. Stephanie Seraff provided very important information on the negative health impacts of glyphosate and its “toxic legacy” and why it is essential to educate all of us as to why glyphosate and other dangerous chemicals must be eliminated from food production, processing and distribution.

Chris Boettcher, Chris Trump, Anna Jones-Crabtree, Annamarie Klippenstein, and Nicolette Richer were very informative as well.”

Brilliant exposé from a brilliant composter, and reassuring! Trust one's instincts, and learn from mistakes. Since understanding the microbiology in the soil, I've realized just how important feeding root systems is, and how BD preps work towards this. Many many thanks, Gaby and Nathalie❣️

Meet Your Host

Natalie Forstbauer

Publisher, Heart & Soil Magazine • Farmer/Gardener • Author • Healer • TEDx Speaker 

I'm a curious soul who loves to learn and see others thrive while living in harmony with Mother Earth.

I’m passionate about discovering and sharing what makes a farm successful on all levels. It's not just about the food you grow. Success is connecting with your farm, the people you sell to, how you grow your business, how you take care of your soil, ecosystem, and yourself.

My professional roots are in Polarity Therapy and complementary medicine. I grew up on an organic and biodynamic farm, and now own and operate my own organic and biodynamic farm. As Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Heart & Soil Magazine, I now spend my time with my farm, in the thriving Heart & Soil Community, and with my teenage kids. I'm happy to bring you tools to bring your life to the next level. Join us for The Soil Summit, where we’ll learn how to collaborate and co-create as nature intended.

It's Time to…

 

- Align with natural rhythms

Integrate ancient practices into your farming journey

- Build and nourish living soil

- Connect with other farmers and gardeners who get you

- Make your food taste even better and more nutritious
