SUMMARY:Inscribing Signs with a Finger Dipped in Light...
DESCRIPTION: \n  \nProfessional Education\nTowards A Cultural-Spiritual Approach to Dying and Death\nOur aim is to develop a sincere\, earnest relationship with Death\, an understanding of the individual path of dying\, and the deep reverence and honouring of the actual\, autonomous moment of death. Through Anthroposophy we can discover death is the most sacred moment in our life. Through this course\, we develop with you Spiritual-Cultural approaches and creative processes that encourage you to contemplate dying and death in your own life\, that enable you\, as a Companion\, to use this transformative knowledge and spiritual awareness autonomously and with integrity to support those journeying towards the threshold. We offer: a deep study of anthroposophy\, visual art and sculpture\, music\, eurythmy and creative speech\, poetry\, creative writing\, oral storytelling and folktale research. We all work out of our professional and personal insights and spiritual understanding and invite you to bring your own individual spirituality to the course content. \nThere is a further increasingly urgent concern we address: the way our fear of death and dying has separated us from life imbued with Spirit and pushed us deeper into materialism and consequently\, onto a path of destruction we now know by the term of ‘omnicide’. Our course is shaped by our resolve to find new approaches to dying and death not only for our own sake\, but for the sake of Earth’s healing and health\, the sacred interconnectedness of life\, and the evolution of humanity towards freedom and love. \n\n\n\n\nWho is the course for? \nThis Schooling Course is a spiritual pathway to understand dying\, death and rebirth. It is not a hands-on home care course as we feel these are offered by others with competence and commitment. What we offer is a process of inner development for those of you dedicated to accompanying the dying with your authentic spiritual insights through cultural and creative means. We recommend our Course if you wish to care for family and friends\, your community\, or consciously prepare yourself for death\, are grieving a loved one\, or seeking greater understanding of the journey beyond the threshold. Our Course equally provides personal and professional development if you seek greater emotional intelligence\, self- awareness and lifelong learning in relation to your profession\, for example: counsellors\, health practitioners and therapists\, carers\, social- and support workers\, educators\, and those who wish to care for the newly deceased\, such as funeral personnel and celebrants. \nCourse intention \n\nTo facilitate a process through which participants develop their own healthy and integrated relationship to dying and death\nTo educate and mentor participants who intend to become trusted Companions of the dying\, and accompaniment of those who have crossed the threshold\nTo enable participants to offer\, where appropriate\, artistic and contemplative activity for\, or with\, the dying and their loved-ones as ways to experience threshold crossings\n\n\n\n\n\nFind out more \nIntroductory video to the course \nProspectus \nPlease explore the prospectus and contact us with any questions. A detailed programme will be available ion application. \nPlease direct enrolment inquiries to Iris Curteis \nContact \nIris Curteis 0487 719 476 \n  \n\n\n\n\nFeature Image: courtesy of Iris Curteis \n\n  \n\n\n\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Memes That Matter: Conversations That Count
DESCRIPTION:  \nMemes That Matter: Conversations That Count  \nis a social experiment based on two premises: that we know more than we think\, and that visual metaphors can tap into this knowledge. To this end\, I have created a series of memes that comment on current affairs with an eye to their metaphysical meaning. Memes that Matter is an attempt to explore these meanings in fortnightly meet-ups. Each session will explore a socially relevant topic through the lens of a particular meme and will consist of: \n\nIntroduction to the meme and its topic \nConversations in small breakout\nSharing in community\n\nMemes that Matter is a social artwork and operates on a gift basis. It is inspired by Joseph Beuys’ idea of society as an artwork and its conceptual underpinnings: the transpolar politics known as social three-folding\, conceived by Rudolf Steiner. \nOur first topic will deal with: The irony of it all. \nWhen \n\nMeet-ups start on the 06 May 2025 and continue fortnightly ( 20 May\, 3 June\,17 June etc).   \n\n\nTimezones  \n\n\nTimezone A  / Australia (AWST): 7–8 AM\nTimezone B  / Australia (AWST): 6–7 PM\n \n\nThe meet-ups start on Tuesday 06 May 2025. You can join at any time. \nTo register  \nFind out more \nSubscribe to stay in the loop and receive updates (get my latest posts\, including written and visual material as well as selected video clips)\, subscribe!  \nSubscribe  \nHoping to see you soon\, online or otherwise\,  \nHorst

SUMMARY:Working with Steiner’s Training Sketches for the Artists
DESCRIPTION:Introducing Steiner’s anthroposophic training path for painters\nwith Painted Space Studio \n  \n  \n\n‘…and in the creations of the artist there will appear to us\nthe traces of his soul experience in the cosmos’\n \nSteiner \n\n  \n \nThe Nine Nature Moods  or Training Sketches are the definitive foundation and starting point of Steiner’s impulse for the Arts. Given as ‘picture seeds’ to lead us into the future\, they open the door to the new anthroposophic approach to painting. \n\n \nThis fortnightly online course introduces you to Rudolf Steiner’s approach to painting and his understanding of how the formative forces shape and move the world around us through his own pastel sketches. The course uses the wet-on-dry veiling technique but wet-on-wet or pastels are also possible if you prefer. \n \nWhat will we do? \n\n \nStarting with the sunrise\, these sketches take us on an imaginative journey following the sun\, moon and seasons as expressions of the spiritual laws in play between earth and cosmos. We work with each sketch creatively yet with careful attention to the forces they embody\, first in pastel\, then in watercolour to create a wonderful series of heavenly and earthly imaginations. \n \nWho is it for? \n\n \n\n	For anyone interested learning about the core anthroposophic approach to art\, colour and painting. \n\n\n	For Steiner teachers\, artists\, art therapists and art students seeking to develop their artistic practice. \n\n\n \nThis course is a core course of the Art as a Path of Schooling for the Soul training. Beginners are welcome\, but some watercolour painting experience is desirable. If preferred\, you may choose to work with soft pastels only. \n \nWhat is the importance of the Training Sketches? \n\nSunrise I\, from the Nine Nature Moods series \n\nYou can see some interpretations of these sketches here.  \nThese nine nature mood sketches are the starting place for anyone seeking to understand Steiner’s new impulse for the visual arts. But these sketches are not images of external natural events; they refer to acts that are effective in nature and human\, says Christiane Haid\, head of the Visual Arts Section at the Goetheanum. She believes that working with the creative forces in and around us can become the starting point for facing tasks in healing the world.  \nThe nine sketches are part of a comprehensive 28 motif portfolio known as the Training Sketches for the Artists. Along with Steiner’s watercolours\, The Seven School or Friedwart Sketches and many others (the Goetheanum epochs motifs are supplementary to the portfolio)\, they form the foundation of an anthroposophic art training in painting and drawing. Steiner first gave them to artist Henni Geck in 1922 for the new of painting\, just as he earlier developed eurythmy as a new art of movement. \n\n \n  \nWhen is it? \n3pm-5pm Saturdays AEST\, 6 September – 29 November 2025\nSeven two-hour fortnightly sessions. Participants are expected to do some homework between classes. Edited recordings of the sessions are available post-class but live participation is preferred to get the most out of the course\, including individual feedback\, unless your time zone makes this impossible. \n \nCost \n\n \n$290 AUD/$190 USD \n$300 AUD for PD certificate\, conditions apply* \nVideo recordings included in the fee\, available for private study. \n  \nBook here! \n \n\n \nThe payment options\, Zoom link\, a list of materials and suggested readings will be sent to you after booking. \n\n \n \n\n \nFor more information \n\n \n\nContact \n \n\n* PD (Pr0fessional development certificates) require 75% attendance and exercises on Padlet\nFeature image: Moonrise (2022) © Fiona Campbell\nFeature quote: from Artistic and Moral Experience\, in Colour\, Part III \n\n\n\n\n \n \n
