The healthy social life is found
when in the mirror of each human soul
the whole community finds its reflection,
and when in the community
the virtue of each one is living.
This is the Motto of Social Ethic.
-Rudolf Steiner

Alex Tuchman and Neelima Baird
Cosmic Intelligence:
The Stars, the Natural World, and the Human Being
Join Alex Tuchman, avid stargazer, editor of the Stella Natura Biodynamic Planting Calendar, student of anthroposophy, and Director of Spikenard Farm Honeybee Sanctuary for an exploration of the cosmos through the lens of Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual science. We will look at the evolution comic intelligence, the wisdom of the stars and the natural world, and explore how to approach and relate to the stars in contemporary times. Alex will place a special focus on working with cosmic rhythms and influences to tend to the needs of the Earth.

Alex Tuchman is a beekeeper, educator, farmer, author, and student of nature. As the Director of Spikenard Farm Honeybee Sanctuary, Alex carries a wide variety of responsibilities on the farm, with the bees, in the classroom, and in administration. Alex arrived at Spikenard Farm in March of 2014 after three years as the Farm Manager of Loyola University Chicago’s Student Farm in Woodstock, Illinois, his home-state. Alex is an active member of the Agriculture Section of the School for Spiritual Science and a consistent contributor to the biodynamic agriculture and natural beekeeping movements and regularly teaches at conferences in the U.S., around the world, and online. Alex’s book, A Lively Hive, was published in 2021, outlining the basic biodynamic beekeeping methods that are practiced and taught at Spikenard Farm.

Neelima Julia Baird is a lifelong student who met Spikenard shortly after being called to serve the bees in early 2019. Over the next four years she made several pilgrimages from upstate New York for courses, and in 2023 moved to Floyd after graduating from the SBBT. Her background spans bodywork, teaching/mentoring, advocacy, natural health care, sanskrit studies, editing and authoring on all of the above. She wears many hats at the sanctuary, depending on the needs of the moment, but her official roles include support of the Sanctuary Ambassadors group, the development of a local Hive Host program that grew out of her graduation project, and coordinating the production of the Stella Natura Biodynamic Planting Calendar, which was entrusted to Spikenard by its creator and editor of 46 years, Sherry Wildfeuer.
