From our primeval beginnings\, through Lemuria and Atlantis to today and into the 6th Slavic epoch\, we can capture something of the ‘quiver’ of recollections of spiritual history lying deep in our soul-life through working actively with these motifs. \n  \nWhat is it about? \nThis practice-based course explores Steiner’s Goetheanum ceiling sketches\, a sequence given to the painters as a picture progression of the spiritual history of humanity. He described them as a training in karmic vision that could potentially awaken a perception of karma. We will work with selected motifs through lecture\, study\, contemplative observation and drawing.  \nBackground notes \nRudolf Steiner created a substantial portfolio of drawings\, pastel sketches and paintings for the renewal of the visual arts\, many destined for the interior of the First Goetheanum\, with the purpose of helping us find a new relationship to art as a basis of spiritual awakening. The artforms in the first Goetheanum were intended to support a training in karmic vision through Art. \nArt works upon the human soul to awaken in it a feeling\, a deep feeling\, for the spiritual realities of what is portrayed. By actively working with these motifs\, we can approach an inner experience of their truths. Not only through the content but through the inward experience of them. By working actively with their forms and processes\, we can learn to transform the soul body so that it can prepare itself for karmic awakening. \nFor the ceiling of the first Goetheanum\, Steiner gave a series of ‘epoch’ motifs to the artists – 12 sketches for the large cupola of the first Goetheanum and 7 Sketches for the small cupola\, culminating in the motif of the Representative of Humanity. We will explore these motifs: their gestures\, meanings and role in our soul/spiritual evolution.  \nProgram  \n7 x 1.5hr webinars approx. twice a month on Saturday afternoons\, 4.00-5.30pm. \n12/2 Workshop 1: The Elohim motif from the Creation trio – completed\n26/2 Workshop 2:  Lemuria and Atlantis\n19/3 Workshop 3:  Ancient India – Ancient Greece\n2/4 Workshop 4:  The IAO motif: the Cosmic Word\n23/4 Workshop 5:  Faust and his Genius\n7/5 Workshop 6:  The Germanic and Slavic motifs\n21/5 Workshop 7: Lucifer\, Ahriman and the Representative of Humanity \nEach session includes a short lecture\, experiential artwork\, contemplation and discussion as the foundation of a schooling for the ordering of our soul life. The series culminates in an optional weekend studio where participants can turn their sketches and studies into artforms that reflect their personal relationship to the evolution of consciousness. \nEach session will be recorded and will be available for registrants. \nArt material list and background reading suggestions emailed at registration. \nWho is it for? \nFor students of Anthroposophy\, Steiner teachers\, artists and anyone interested in understanding Steiner’s approach to the spiritual evolution of humanity. \nBeginners in drawing are welcome. You do not need technical skills in the visual arts to find these workshops fruitful. These experiential workshops employ the anthroposophic approach to colour and process but the focus is on experiencing\, not learning drawing techniques. \nWhat dates are the workshops? \nSaturday afternoons 4.00-5.30pm AEDT (until it ends\, then AEST)\nWebinar workshops: 12/26 February | 19 March | 2/23 April | 7/21 May\nWeekend studio workshop: 3-5 June 2022 \nMissed most of the  webinars but want to join individual sessions? \nYou can still join us and catch up via the video recordings.
