Daniela has been instrumental in our farm's adoption of biodynamic practices. Her dedication and attention to these wisdom practices has supported us as land stewards in so many ways. She has been such a bright light in our lives, and I trust that she will touch many other peoples lives in the same way.

As the Director of Cultural Stewardship within Drylands Agroecology Research, I practice high discernment with who I trust to educate, uplift and guide folks who have been forced to be minoritized as well as our youth. I continue to recommend Daniela as a facilitator of Biodynamics along with permaculture design as she teaches with integrity and meets students where they are at in regards to how they learn, receive and integrate information. If you are a beginner or fully immersed in your spiritual and scientific connection to land, Daniela will support your growth in practicing embodied land stewardship. She has brought the biodynamics on our homestead to life with great grace all the while involving our larger community.

I have been working with Daniela as a Biodynamic mentor for over a year on my 9 acre homestead. I have thoroughly enjoyed our work together and cannot express how much integrity, compassion, knowledge and intelligence she brings to the table...EVERY TIME! She has graciously guided my journey of growth and the deepening of my relationship with the land, while not only respecting my belief systems, but encouraging me to incorporate them into the Biodynamic method. Last May, on her visit here, we created barrel compost. From gathering the manure, to stirring it, to introducing the inoculations, it was such a wonderful and moving experience. Everyone should create a barrel compost pit! I always look forward to our monthly talks - we never know where the discussion will lead, from spirituality to practicality and back again! I highly recommend working with Daniela as a mentor - she has made Steiner's work more accessible, thereby allowing me to move further ahead in the work.

Daniela is an incredible teacher, earth steward, and guide and we love working with her! We tend a small farm in Boulder where we are focused on being in right relationship with the land, using regenerative practices, and connecting deeply with the natural world and with our community. We've been drawn to biodynamics for all these reasons, but didn't know where to start in terms of implementation. We were so fortunate to meet Daniela and she has been an amazing guide to us on this path. We installed a barrel compost pit together, which was a powerful healing and learning experience, and she has advised on countless other ways that we can tend the land such as horsetail preparations, compost, animals, dousing, and earth-based energetics. In addition to her wealth of knowledge, her deep care for and love of the earth, and her skill as a teacher, Daniela is a lovely, kind, caring person and it's a joy to work with and learn from her!
