What Others Are Saying About Biodynamics

Spirit

Biodynamics Pyramid

Biodynamics is the science of enhancing and connecting energy sources into a wholistic system. It connects us to the universe through the sun which drives photosynthesis in our vines. It connects us to the earth through the complex and dense web of roots. And it connects us with each other in the act of sharing wine. The better the wine, the stronger the bond.

The more diverse, the more dense and the more connected an environment of plants, animals and microbes are on a piece of property, the more concentrated the natural energies are. These energies evolve with care over time to form a "consciousness" which the land takes on. Through awareness, practice, meditation and intuition, we can feel and line up with these energies that embody the spirit of the land.
