I have been a member of the
Anthroposophical Society since the early 1990s, and have felt that over the
last 5 years or so that my time to start participating in more outward ways to the Society had come. When Philip Thatcher asked me
to join the Council, I felt that a new chapter in my life and in my
relationship to Anthroposophy had begun.
In addition to working with my fellow
Council members to deepen and foster Anthroposophy in Canada, I also conduct
biodynamic research into the two different approaches to sowing seeds according
to cosmic influences given by Rudolf Steiner and Maria Thun. I have also
studied Rudolf Steiner’s lectures on honeybees, and as a result of this have
started a pilot project to produce non-grafted lineages of queen bees. This
work is taking place at a strawberry farm in Langley, B.C. Detailed essays on
the rationale and methodology for both of these research projects, along with
my biodynamic planting calendar can be found at my website at www.bachbiodynamics.com.
Our meeting
and working at the Vancouver AGM brought for me a great sense of collegiality
and harmony. I look forward to further work with this warm and sincere group of anthroposophists that are the Council, and with meeting more of the membership
throughout Canada.
