Wanderschule
The Wanderschule would like to enable people in the world to independently produce good and honest biodynamic products out of their own impulses, following on from the biodynamic idea. This should take place through good advice, training and further education and through the worldwide exchange of experience. It is important for us to coordinate with the buyers of the products, with the Demeter Association and the various local certification organisations.
In line with the open source idea, we want enthusiasm for biodynamics to develop and to be able to spread independently in countries adapted to regional and cultural needs.
The Wanderschule provides the necessary specialist knowledge, supports conferences and courses, trains local consultants and accompanies the development of biodynamic consulting and marketing structures in the countries.
The exchange of experiences between the cultures should enrich the further development internationally and help to bring new radiance into the biodynamic movement.
Our services
We accompany people from farms, communities and organisations in understanding Biodynamic Work and in carrying it out professionally and further developing it regionally. Our aim is for the companies to increasingly organise themselves, find markets and promote the development of structures for the dissemination of the biodynamic idea in the country. We network biodynamic farms worldwide in order to learn from each other.

In this picture book I try to express and make visible something of one of my “Guidelines”, something that lives, so to say, between the lines, in the eyes and hearts, in the ideas and intentions of the people, in the moods of the landscape, in the elements.

In Turkey I came across Yusuf and Kenan Aydin’s farm where roses are cultivated for essential oil. Having seen many other rose fields in many other countries, it was very clear that these roses from the small rose village of Ardicli were the very best I had experienced. Fortunately, Yusuf can speak German because he lived with his family in Cologne for many years. So we were able to communicate and exchange in German.
