The Finca Sagrada Experience

I had a wonderful time at the Biodynamic workshop in Finca Sagrada. The land there is quite beautiful and mesmerizing. It was recently declared a sacred space by the Kogi natives in Colombia. They instructed the residents of Finca Sagrada to build a spirit hut out of natural material to do ceremony in. They were instructed to keep a fire going day and night inside the spirit hut. They were to use wood that was harvested only from fallen trees in the surrounding land.

The workshop itself was filled with information about anthroposophy and extensively went into many facets of Rudolph Steiner's work. There was a beautiful synergy of lectures and
activities that help deepen our understanding of the biodynamic philosophy. Finca Sagrada also contains a library that is stocked full of esoteric books of many different schools of thought. I found myself diving into these books as much as time allowed during the workshop.

The food was delicious and the accommodation was comfortable. There is a lovely rive that is only a couple minute walk from the community center that one can swim in between lectures and activities. The community experience was fantastic, there were individuals from many walks of life and from all parts of the world that came to this particular workshop. I feel like we all learned and have grown a lot during the time we spent together on the farm.
