SUMMARY:Working with Steiner's Seven School Sketches - further training for the artist
DESCRIPTION: \nA masterclass studio with artist Fiona Campbell\nThe Seven School (or Friedwart) Sketches motifs were given to the teachers as part of Rudolf Steiner’s new impulse for understanding both Art and Nature\, to help students explore objective spiritual laws\, where form arises out of colour\, not the reverse. The series moves from nature moods through the four elements to culminate in a Madonna and Child motif.  \n  \nWhat are the Training Sketches? \nTheses sketches are part of a comprehensive portfolio known as the Training Sketches for the Artists. The Nine Training Sketches (Nature Moods) and the Goetheanum epochs motifs form a substantial part of this portfolio. \nBut 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 and the Section for the Literary Arts and Humanities at the Goetheanum. She believes dealing with the creative forces can become the starting point for facing tasks in healing the world.  \nYou are invited to join artist and researcher Fiona Campbell for an online masterclass (seven sessions) as she works with these motifs as culmination of a year-long project to bring Steiner’s sketches and motifs to celebrate the centenary of Steiner’s gift to visual artists of the comprehensive portfolio known as the Training Sketches for the Artists. \nYou don’t have to be a professional artist\, or even very experienced\, to enjoy this course.  \nA training for the configuration of the soul \nThey are called training sketches\, but sometimes people wonder what it is they are training. They are not guides to technique\, nor are they supposed to be copied literally. They are not answers to what artworks of sunrises and trees and people should look like. Rather\, they are a training for the soul. What does this mean? \nThrough working with each sketch\, the painted is lead towards an inward experience of the motif. This opens up the way to true moral and spiritual experiences. By learning to unite herself with the inner essence of these motifs\, the artist can reveal through her work traces of her soul experience of the cosmos. \nHistorical background \nIn June 2022 it will have been one hundred years since the painter and sculptor Henny Geck asked Rudolf Steiner for a course that would bring about a renewal of the art of paining. Steiner gave a series of motifs to the artists in the form of rough sketches\, as a foundation for the renewal of the art of painting. the foundational program for painters seeking to work out of Anthroposophy. This program is comparable to the indications he gave to the eurythmists and has been practiced in different forms in anthroposophic art trainings since Steiner first gave the Nine Training Sketches to artist Henni Geck 100 years ago. \nThese masterclasses are part of a worldwide movement this year to celebrate Steiner’s  artistic impulse\, including the Goetheanum motifs\, on the centenary of the burning down of the First Goetheanum. They are also offering lectures and courses to help realise Rudolf Steiner’s vision of a new impulse in the arts and make these motifs visible to the wider public.  \nWho are the masterclasses for?  \nFor artists\, Steiner teachers\, art therapists and art students looking to find a path in soul/spiritual development through the arts; and for anyone interested in understanding more about Rudolf Steiner’s impulse in Art. \nTo get the most out of this course\, it is anticipated that participants work alongside Fiona in-class and on their own between sessions.  \nRequired \n\nfamiliarity with Steiner’s or Goethe’s colour theories\nbasic watercolour wet-on-dry skills (you can use wet-on-wet or any other painting media\, such as oils or acrylics\, if you prefer but technical advice is not directed towards these media) \n\nThis is not a step-by-step instructional class so not suitable for beginners. \nWhat dates are the classes? \n2-4pm AEDT Friday afternoons \n2/16/30 September\, 14/28 October\, 11/25 November. \nSession 1: Sunrise\nSession 2:  Sunset\nSession 3:  Trees in Sunny Air\nSession 4:  Trees in Storm\nSession 5:  Sunlit Tree by a Waterfall\nSession 6:  Head Study\nSession 7: Madonna and Child \nHow much does it cost? \nOnline series:  $250 for 7×2 hr masterclasses or $42 for individual sessions. \nWhere do I register? \nRegister here! \nPlease register online.

SUMMARY:Parsifal Reimagined: Stage 2 of The Parsifal Project
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n\n \npresents \nParsifal Reimagined \nA series of 5 creative writing workshops\nreimagining the Parsifal legend for today’s world \nWorkshop facilitator: Fiona Campbell \n  \n\n“A journey of life and transformation \nThe light and darkness in our souls \nThe careless hero\, the broken sword \nThe suffering king\, the wasteland\, the rite of life \nThe many maidens on the hero’s path \nFrom dullness through doubt to glory” \n  \nHow can we portray these many forms of ‘Grail’ experiences for our time? What is the story we are telling ourselves? And where will our narrative take us? Through creative writing\, we seek to answer these questions for ourselves while also contributing together to the development of a new and original performance artwork. \nParticipate in this creation of performance art! \nCome join our online fortnightly writing workshops to be part of this process as we work towards developing a script for our stage production in 2023. You don’t have to be a writer to enjoy these workshops\, just a love of literature and bringing it to life.  \nFind out what it is like to be part of interactive community building working towards a multicultural\, multimedia stage performance\, as we explore the themes and our own meanings of the Parzival and Grail legends through the creative word. \nA Poetry and Prose Reading \nWe anticipate the workshops will culminate in a Poetry and Prose Reading event on 26 November for participants to share their works with family and friends. This will be a hybrid event\, online and on-the-ground in Mt Barker\, SA\, hosted by Ink Pots Arts.  \nTell me more … \nThis series of fortnightly workshops builds on the material introduced in Stage 1: Parsifal Unpacked. Having deconstructed the interwoven storylines of the Parsifal\, Grail and Arthurian legends\, we now use this material as inspiration for reimagining this medieval epic using our own words and cultural contexts. \nEach workshop uses one key theme elicited from Stage 1 as a prompt to explore its mood and meaning\, using different techniques to evoke poems\, short stories and imaginative word pictures.  \nThese workshops will also provide the foundation for the Stage 3 script development. \nWho are they for? \nFor anyone who wants to explore the Parzival legend through the creative word; who would like to deepen their own relationship to this story; or who enjoys being creative through crafting imaginative word pictures in community with others. \nYou do not have to be a practised writer to enjoy these workshops. The workshops provides both structured and unstructured exercises to help you learn how to craft with words.   \nBudding writers and poets of all levels of experience welcome! \nParticipation in Parsifal Unpacked is not prerequisite\, but you do need a working knowledge of the story to get the most out of these workshops.

SUMMARY:What is Phenomenology?
DESCRIPTION:  \nStream of Life Research Studio presents \na webinar\, a dialogue\, a sharing and questioning session \n  \nPhenomenology is a way of seeing the world \nPhenomenology is the study of the lived experience as it was/is lived \nPhenomenology a means of investigation which permits us to grow beyond ourselves \nGoethean Science is phenomenological in approach\, and is well known in anthroposophical circles as a qualitative approach to understanding the natural sciences. But phenomenology as a methodology for wider anthroposophic-based application is becoming increasingly popular in our circles; and the term ‘lived experience’ has gone into the our everyday language.  \nBut it can be confusing! Everyone has a different understanding of just what phenomenology is and how to apply it. \nTell me more \nThis webinar aims to unpack phenomenology as a philosophy\, as a research methodology\, and as a practice from the perspective of different researchers and practitioners from different fields and disciplines who use this approach in their work. \nThe session takes the form of presentations and dialogue as to our shared understandings of what we each mean by phenomenology. And if you are not a practitioner but would like to know more\, come along and ask questions. We’d love to share our passion with you! \nWho is it for?  \nAny one interested in finding out more about phenomenology. All welcome! \nProgram  \nWe open with the questions: What counts as phenomenology? What is the essence of phenomenology\, for all forms and approaches?  \nSeven researchers and practitioners share their experiences: Martin Samson (theology)\, Fiona Campbell (human sciences)\, Joanna Jaaniste (dramatherapy)\, Peter Stewart (Goethean Science)\, Greg Burgess (architecture)\, Lisa Devine (theology) and Teresa Carapeto (Education).  \nEach presenter describes their understanding through the lens of these four key characteristics: \n\nAn open attitude: how do I see with “new eyes”?  \nDwelling: how do I immerse myself into the object\, how do I engage with the experience\, the information?\nDisclosure: how can I reveal the essence of the phenomenon in question?\nDescription: sharing my experiences of working phenomenologically. How do I do this? \n\nQ&A session followed by a summing up of what we’ve learned. \nHow does it impact my professional practice? My way of seeing the world? \nSo what is phenomenology? and can anyone practice it? \nAnd is there interest for further discussion in an ongoing group? \nWhen will this webinar take place?  \n7pm Wednesday 16th November 2022 online \nCost \nBy donation  \nRegistration \nTo register \nHow to join the webinar \nAfter registration\, participants will be sent the Zoom link by email two (2) days beforehand\, and then again one (1) hour beforehand. \nPlease login for the webinar via your Zoom app and not via Eventbrite. \nFor more information \nPlease contact Fiona Campbell or Martin Samson

SUMMARY:The IAO Motif and the Foundation Stone Meditation
DESCRIPTION:The IAO:  the Cosmic Image of the Human Being\nand the Foundation Stone Meditation\nThe final webinar of 3 practice-based workshops exploring key challenges of 5th epoch\, 6th epoch \nand our cosmic future as represented in the ceiling motifs of the first Goetheanum \n  \nPresenter: Fiona Campbell  \nThis is the 3rd and final webinar in the The Great Luciferic/Ahrimanic face-off exploring the ceiling motifs of the first Goetheanum\, as a transformative picture of the spiritual history of humanity. They raise questions about their relevance to today and how they could guide our future development. Each motif embodies a soul stage of human development as we traverse our starry and earthly path as individuals and as humanity as a whole. \nTell me more \nThe tragedy of dualism in our souls\, and how it manifests has been the leitmotif of this series. In this final workshop\, we contemplate how the path from the IOA as cosmic word resounding from the beginning of time to the IAO\, the cosmic image of the human being\, is a picture and a guide as to how to grapple with our innately dualistic natures. \nIn this presentation\, we explore these theme through discussion\, contemplation and a little sketching of the motif.  \nWho are the webinars for? \nFor anyone interested in Steiner’s approach to the spiritual evolution of humanity. \nBut you don’t have to have attended previous webinars to enjoy the presentation and discussion.  \nWhen is it on? \nSaturday afternoon 4.00-5.30pm AEDT\nWebinar workshops:  26 November \nEach session will be recorded and a video of the event will be available post-webinar.\nA list of suggested drawing materials and background readings is also included in the cost.  \nHow much does it cost?  \nOnline series:  $35  | Concessions available on request – please contact Fiona.\nVideo recording included in the cost \nWhere do I book?  \nBook here! \nAfter booking\, I will send you a confirmation email containing the zoom link to join the meeting.  \nThen download the payment details and materials list.  \nFor more information \nPlease contact Fiona Campbell  \n  \nBackground reading \nThe Foundation Stone Meditation GA 260 \nBackground notes \nAbout the first Goetheanum \n2022 marks the centenary of the burning of the first Goetheanum on New Year’s Eve in 1922/23. As part of the 100th anniversary of the fire\, artists and members of the Anthroposophical Society around the world have been working with the forms and motifs of the 1st Goetheanum. These three webinars are part of this world-wide activity. \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 1st Goetheanum and 7 Sketches for the small cupola. These motifs map the spiritual history of humanity and were intended to support a training in karmic vision through Art. \n. \nPhoto credits: from The Language of Color in the First Goetheanum by Hilde Raske  \n  \n\n‘In the beginning was the Word’ \n“Let us make human beings in our image\, to be like us’
