Abstract
The author describes the common ground of C. G. Jung and Rudolf Steiner: the philosophy of Goethe. The resulting similarities in Jungian analysis and Biodynamic agriculture are described as well as the ‘new’ consciousness both offer, which incorporates both the physical world and our developed thinking. The author describes the application of these principles in her farming, a process in which the farm is viewed as a kind of ‘Enclosed Garden.’
