Dear friends,
As the new president of JPI, and on behalf of the new Board of Directors and staff of JPI, I want to apologize for the lack of communication with our biodynamic community. The resolution to sell our land was a difficult and heartbreaking decision. And it was made in isolation without consulting our many biodynamic stakeholders before the sale of the land was passed and announced. My hope is to rebuild trust and open communication between us by sharing with you our reconception of JPI’s wholeness.
Through the spiritual work taken up by our Wisdom Council, we reconnected with the Being of JPI. A covenant was made and held sacred between the two members of the Wisdom Council, the Being of JPI, and Christ. We worked with different questions held within the framework of the festivals of the year. And we were given a vision of the Being of JPI trying to incarnate as something new and pure; something strong enough to break the recurring patterns of the past and present. The birthing of such a Light requires an integrated threefold approach to our mission and work.
In addition, we have also been offered a guide for our work. St. Michael has spoken through dreams, prayers, meditations, and visions. We have rediscovered that JPI is not alone. Christ and the archangels are with us. Every biodynamic practitioner in every region of the world is with us; you are our community. Each one of you supports us through prayers, thoughts, deeds, patience, and love. JPI is reawakening with new eyes, a new heart, and a new will force. We are still working to actively listen to the Being of JPI and to you.
As an active gesture of working together to re-establish and nurture our relationship together, I invite our world-wide biodynamic community to let us know how we can support you now and in the future. What conversation is working its way into the heart of biodynamics?
During this transition time, as we support the incarnation of a new Being, we are seeking conversations with individuals who are: grounded in their spiritual life/practice, collaborative, able to listen before speaking, and when speaking use a tone of respect and openness. Our conversations are inclusive and do not bring harm to anyone. We value your thoughts, your questions, and your constructive criticism. We strive for transparency.
We also want to let you know that there will be biodynamic preparations buried on JPI’s land this Fall. And the sale of the land will not be revisited or even considered until 2025. Please let us know if you have any questions. We look forward to sharing JPI’s journey with you now and in the future.
With deep gratitude,
Teresa O'Shaughnessy

Thank you Teresa.
Your heartfelt sharing opens us to commune with you and the powerful Chrstic forces that will to work thru biodynamics to spiritualize the Earth to become a star.
Knowing that the Festival life is a path of initiation will further facilitate this connection.
