Description

A contribution by Martin von Mackensen

Warmth in agriculture: Martin von Mackensen shares personal anecdotes about Joseph Beuys’ art actions with compost, trees and a golden crown – inspired by Steiner’s Agriculture Course. He illuminates qualities of warmth in thinking, the transformative power of the earth as an organ of the future, and the dynamics of soil, plants, animals and clay. Exciting and profound – a must for anyone who wants to rediscover agriculture!

A contribution by Martin von Mackensen to the 2025 Autumn Conference of the Natural Science Section at the Goetheanum.
