SUMMARY:What is Phenomenology?And how do I begin?
DESCRIPTION:Stream of Life Research Studio presents \nA webinar on how to practice phenomenology in the workplace \n  \nThis webinar is the 3rd in our series and a follow-up to our first two dialogues (16 November 2022 and 15 February 2023). You are invited to join us again! \nThis series of webinars aims is to provide an interdisciplinary view of how different professions understand and implement phenomenology\, including how this form of research supports professional practice. Through sharing our collective experience of working phenomenologically\, we address the questions: what is phenomenology? and how do I practice it? \nAre you interested in learning how to work phenomenologically?  \nIn our first two webinars\, we have heard from a range of practitioners and researchers how they approach phenomenology in their professional practice and some techniques they use. Now\, in this third and final webinar\, we introduce how to begin working phenomenologically yourself.  \nProgram \nFirstly\, Robin Steele will be presenting her hermeneutic research into therapeutic change through psychophonetics. \nThen\, an open discussion on how to take the first steps in developing a phenomenological method for researching spiritual science. \nParticipants are invited to submit their questions in advance to the organisers to help facilitate the discussion. \nFor both parts of the program\, we will be using this framework: \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\nA practice-based workshop is planned for 13 May in Sydney and potentially early Spring -TBA \nWhen will this webinar take place?  \n6.30 pm AEDT/5.30 pm AEST Wednesday 29th March 2023 online.  \nCost \n$20 donation or whatever you can afford to support us. \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 \n  \n\nPhenomenology is essentially the study of the structures of consciousness\, though it is better known as the study of the lived experience. \n \nIt concerns how a phenomenon is experienced\, as it is experienced\, and aims to describe those experiences\, rather than theorise or explain them. Moreover\, in studying the experience\, phenomenology opens the way to understanding our consciousness of that experience. In turn\, this can change our way of seeing the world (Campbell 2018*). \n\n  \n*Fiona Campbell (2018)\, ‘Flow\, resistance and thinking : a phenomenological study of creativity‘ Doctoral thesis\, UTS Digital Thesis Collection.

SUMMARY:What is Phenomenology? Further investigations
DESCRIPTION:  \nStream of Life Research Studio presents \nFurther investigations into the nature and practice of phenomenology \n  \nThis webinar is the 2nd in our series and a follow-up to our first dialogue (16 November 2022). You are invited to join us again! \nThe aim of these webinars is to provide an interdisciplinary view of how different fields/disciplines understand phenomenology\, whose approach they use e.g. Goethean\, Heidegger\, Merleau-Ponty\, Zajonc  etc. and how they implement their approach in their professional practice.  \nTell me more about phenomenology \nPhenomenology is essentially the study of the structures of consciousness\, though it is better known as the study of the lived experience. It concerns how a phenomenon is experienced\, as it is experienced\, and aims to describe those experiences\, rather than theorise or explain them. Moreover\, in studying the experience\, phenomenology opens the way to understanding our consciousness of that experience.  In turn\, this can change our way of seeing the world (Campbell 2018*). \nGoethean Science is phenomenological in approach\, and is well known in anthroposophical circles as a qualitative approach to the natural sciences. But phenomenology as a methodology for wider anthroposophic-based application is becoming increasingly popular in our circles in the sphere of the arts and human sciences.  \nPhenomenology can be a philosophy\, a research methodology\, or a practice  – or all three. It can take different forms in different fields and even within the same field/discipline\, depending on whose philosophical  foundations you are applying.  \nSounds complex but fascinating? Then come along and find out more.  \nProgram  \nThree researcher/practitioners share their experiences: Joanna Jaaniste (Dramatherapy)\, Bronwen Haralambous (Education) and Lisa Devine (Counselling and Theology) \nEach presenter describes their understanding through the lens of these four key characteristics and how it impacts their professional practice or way of seeing the world through the lens of these four questions: \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\nA short introduction to some common tools/methods used in phenomenological research will be overviewed. \nQ&A session to follow \nWhen will this webinar take place?  \n6.30 pm AEDT/5.30 pm AEST Wednesday 15th February 2023 online.  \nPlease note: the webinar is not being recorded. \nCost \n$20 donation or whatever you can afford to support us. \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 \n  \n*Fiona Campbell (2018)\, ‘Flow\, resistance and thinking : a phenomenological study of creativity‘ Doctoral thesis\, UTS Digital Thesis Collection.

SUMMARY:Complementaries and Counter Images: Working with Steiner's How to Know Higher Worlds through Art
DESCRIPTION:A masterclass studio\nwith Fiona Campbell\n\n  \n\n  \nImaginative exercises based on meditative exercises given by Steiner in How to Know Higher Worlds using colour\, archetypal processes\, observation and contemplation \nThis 7-session course provides an artistic entry into his preparatory exercises of inner and outer observation\, contemplation and moral development. It aims to nourishes creativity and feeds the soul life.  \nThrough exploration of the complementaries and counter-colours\, we can strengthen both our imaginative faculties and our life forces.  \nYou don’t have to be a trained artist\, or even very experienced\, to enjoy this course\, but you do need self-motivation\, some knowledge of Steiner’s meditative and colour work and some painting technique.  \nBackground information \nWith the increasing\, encroaching advent of AI-generated images filling our screens\, through film\, tv and internet\, the essential creativity that lives in the soul of every human being is under threat. AI-generated art is not creative. It does not arise out of human creativity but out of machines. In the face of this attack on our human-ness\, we need to bring a counter-impulse by strengthening our capacity to create inner images. \nBy working artistically and contemplatively with colour and the forming forces\, we can nurture the emergent qualities of our humanity\, such as our uniquely human capacities to create and to think and to think creatively\, We can counter this dehumanising force\,  \nWe need to  enliven our inner images to counter the life-destroying images of AI-generated art. \nWho are the masterclasses for?  \n\nFor artists\, art therapists and art students looking to find a path of soul/spiritual development through the arts.\nFor anyone seeking a non-intellectual pathway into Steiner’s meditative path.\nFor anyone interested in gaining an appreciation of art as a revelation of spiritual realities through painting.\n\nTo get the most out of this course\, it is anticipated participants will work on their own between the fortnightly sessions.  \nRequired: familiarity with the anthroposophic approach to art and painting skills. Watercolour wet-on-dry skills is preferred but other techniques\, such as wet-on-wet or chalk pastels are acceptable but technical advice is not directed towards these media.   \nPlease note: this is not a step-by-step instructional class so not suitable for beginners in painting unless you are adventurous and self-motivated! \nWhat dates are the classes? \n2-4pm AEDT Friday afternoons \n10 February-19 May \nThe workshops are recorded but live participation is preferred\, unless your time zone makes this impossible.  \nHow much does it cost? \nOnline series:  $260 for 7×2 hr masterclasses\, including video recording. \nHow do I register? \nRegistrations closed. Come back next year! \nPayment details and a list of suggested materials and readings available upon registration. \nFor more information \nFor more information about the masterclass or for any questions\, please contact Fiona Campbell  \n  \nAbout Fiona Campbell  \nFiona Campbell is a visual artist\, researcher\, lecturer and arts educator. She has an interdisciplinary PhD on creativity and cognition and has been a professional artist and arts educator for more than 30 years.  \nShe is also teaches interdisciplinary research training and consciousness studies. She is a member of the Stream of Life Research Studio\, where her focus is phenomenology and creative cognition and is creative consultant for the multimedia Parsifal Project. \nFiona has been involved with Anthroposophy for over 40 years and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience about the core principles and practice of Steiner’s work to her classes.

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.

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:Facing Our Shadow Self in the 6th Epoch
DESCRIPTION: \n| The Slavic Motif and Our Shadow Self | \nThe 2nd of 3 practice-based webinars exploring the tragedy of dualism \nin the  5th epoch\, 6th epoch and our cosmic future\nas represented in the ceiling motifs of the first Goetheanum \n  \n‘I must not ever leave you. \nYou will in future often find me at your side; \nI shall not go from you until you find \nthe power of that which you are to become.’  \n(The Soul’s Probation\, Scene 5) \n  \n  \nPresenter: Fiona Campbell  \nOur shadow self is usually seen as being our disowned self\, those aspects of our selves we don’t or won’t accept. This shadow is also a development of our innate dualistic nature. So\, how can we grapple with this? In the motifs that filled the ceiling of the first Goetheanum\, we find some answers. \nThis is the 2nd webinar in the The Great Luciferic/Ahrimanic face-off . But you don’t have to have attended previous webinars to enjoy the presentation and discussion.  \n  \nTell me more … \nWe use the motif (pictured above) representing the 6th epoch\, still far in our future\, to understand the nature of our double or shadow as a picture of dualism in our souls. \n\nWhat really is this shadow?  \nHow will we experience it?  \nDo all beings have a shadow\, even angels?  \nAnd how does this affect our future evolution and spiritual development?  \n\nWe explore these questions through study\, discussion\, contemplation and a little sketching of the motif.  \n\n  \nWho are the webinars for? \nFor anyone interested in Steiner’s approach to the spiritual evolution of humanity. \nYou do not need to have attended any previous webinars in this series nor do you need drawing skills to enjoy these workshops: the focus is on the experiencing the content through doing\, not learning drawing techniques.  \nWhen are they on? \nSaturday afternoon 4.00-5.30pm AEST\nWebinar workshops: 22 October | 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:  | $60 for 2 webinars | $35 per webinar | 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\, materials list and suggested readings. \nFor more information \nPlease contact Fiona Campbell  \n\n  \nBackground notes \nWhat exactly is dualism?   \nThe term ‘dualism’ has various characterisations in different cultures and time periods. But in general\, it means there are two fundamental kinds or categories of things or principles. In theology\, for example\, a dualistic principle is Good and Evil or God and the Devil as independent yet equal forces in the world. Light and Darkness is another example of dualism common to most cultures. \nAccording to Rudolf Steiner\, dualism in our human evolution is expressed through two opposing yet interdependent entities called Lucifer and Ahriman. Both these names can be found in the Bible and in Zoroastrianism as mighty beings\, like fallen angels. But today they are experienced in our soul life as polar-opposite forces that we unconsciously swing between\, like a pendulum. The first webinar in this series\, The Great Luciferic/Ahrimanic Face-off\,  explored their influence in our daily lives in some depth. A video of this webinar is available on request.  \nThis webinar considers how this split might evolve into a separate shadow self.  \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.

SUMMARY:The great Luciferic/Ahrimanic face-off
DESCRIPTION: \n…and the tragedy of duality in our time\nThe 1st of 3 practice-based webinars exploring key challenges of 5th epoch\, 6th epoch and our cosmic future \nas represented in the ceiling motifs of the first Goetheanum \nPresenter: Fiona Campbell  \n  \n We are familiar with the figures of Lucifer and Ahriman as portrayed in Rudolf Steiner’s definitive sculpture\, the Representative of Humanity. There\, both beings are held in balance by the shining figure of the Christ Being. Yet in daily life\, it is the spectre of Ahriman that shadows us continually\, through our engagement with technologies that both ease and complicate everyday tasks. Lucifer seems to recede into the background of our consciousness as more an eternal archetype than a current concern\, a figure\, perhaps\, from the Biblical past. \n \nYet the motif of the Soul of our 5th Post-Atlantean epoch (left) shows both Lucifer and Ahriman irretrievably enmeshed\, and not held apart by Christ. So we can ask the question: do we really understand their interwoven relationship and its consequences for us in contemporary life? That where one being is\, the other is also always present? As a counterpart? \nRudolf Steiner describes this dual principle as an inescapable tragedy for the modern soul. So\, how can we grapple with this? In the motifs that filled the ceiling of the first Goetheanum\, we find some answers. \n  \nTell me more … \nThis is the first of three intensive\, practiced-based webinars that aim to deepen the work introduced in the Goetheanum Epoch Motifs series earlier this year. Questions about their relevance to today and how they could guide our future development emerged during this series. Let’s examine these questions further through immersing ourselves in the motifs.  \nThree webinars on the theme \nEach webinars revisit one of the three motifs that embody our present\, future and cosmic stage motifs of Steiner’s Goetheanum ceiling sketches. The three webinars concern:  \n\n\nThe great Lucifer and Ahriman face-off and the tragedy of duality in our time | The Germanic/Persian motif  | \nThe future of dualism: facing our shadow self | The Slavic motif |  \nThe correlation between the IAO motif and the Foundation Stone Meditation | The IAO motif | \n\n\nEach motif embodies a soul stage of human development – for the 5th epoch (current)\, the 6th epoch (future) and for our cosmic\, eternal image.  \nWe will explore these three motifs through their gestures\, meanings and role in our soul/spiritual evolution using lecture\, discussion\, contemplation and some drawing. \nWho are the webinars for? \nFor students of Anthroposophy\, Steiner teachers\, artists and anyone interested in understanding Steiner’s approach to the spiritual evolution of humanity. \nYou do not need to have attended the first Epochs series\, nor do you need drawing skills to enjoy these workshops: the focus is on the experiencing the content through doing\, not learning drawing techniques.  \nWhen are they on? \nSaturday afternoon 4.00-5.30pm AEST\nWebinar workshops: 24 September | 22 October | 26 November \nEach session will be recorded and will be available for registrants.\nDrawing materials list and background reading suggestions emailed at registration. \nHow much does it cost?  \nOnline series:  | $100 for 3 webinars | $40 per webinar | Concessions available – please contact Fiona. \nWhere do I enrol? \nEnrol here! \nThen download the payment details\, materials list and suggested readings. \n The Zoom link will be sent to you upon enrolment. You will be sent a reminder one hour before the webinar starts.  \nIf you lose your email with the link\, you will need to register again.  \nFor more information \nPlease contact Fiona Campbell  \n  \nAbout the presenter: Fiona Campbell PhD. is a researcher\, lecturer\, visual artist and arts educator. The nature of consciousness in our inner and outer development is one of her special interests\, a topic she has lectured and researched for 25 years. Her artistic research on the Goetheanum motifs complements this interest.  \nFiona is also a member of the Stream of Life Research Studio\, where she focuses on her other two specialisations\, phenomenology and creative cognition. \nYou can find out more about Fiona on her website\, read about her teaching work at Sydney Rudolf Steiner College or listen to a 2020 ABC Soul Search interview with her about the anthroposophical approach to art.  \nBackground notes \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.

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: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:Tranformative Art & Architecture (TAA) Module 3
DESCRIPTION:The Human Being as Measure of All Things\nArchitectural Form and the Evolution of Consciousness \n  \nA Transformative Art & Architecture (TAA) seminar  \nAn online 6-day  seminar over 3 alternating weekends and 4 midweek evenings\, starting on Saturday 27th August 2022\,  9.45 am \nWhat is it about? \nTo be able to objectively evaluate architectural form we must base our judgements on an objective set of criteria. From a spiritual perspective\, the only truly objective criteria we have are those connected with the spiritual and physical nature of the human being. \nThe human being represents the 4th kingdom of nature\, which stands in a close relationship to the three lower\, animal\, plant and mineral kingdoms . In this module we explore this very relationship between the four nature kingdoms. The progression of consciousness from the mineral – plant – and animal – to the human kingdom provides us with valuable insights as to the hierarchy of form as well as the link  between form and consciousness. We conclude with a specific set of evaluation criteria. \nProgram \nOver the three weekends participants will gain practical and theoretic insights into the following questions: \n\nWhy and how is the human being a universal point of reference for Architectural Form?\nHow is the development of consciousness mirrored both in the historic forms of art & architecture and in the forms of the 4 kingdoms of nature?\nWhat relevance does the ascending hierarchy of form  have with respect to our modern forms of art & architecture?\nWhat is the Threefoldness of the Human Being and how is this mirrored in Architectural Form?\nWhat is the relationship between the 3 dimensions of space and our faculties of thinking\, feeling and willing?\nWhat is the architectural equivalent of the “body” “soul” and “spirit”\, of a building?\nWhat  objective criteria do we have by which architectural form is elevated to a higher level of consciousness?\n\n  \nOpen lecture: Introductory Lecture about the aims and methods of Transformative Art & Architecture \nDate: Thursday\, 25th August 2022 7.30 – 9 pm (Melbourne Time) \nThis lecture is open to all and is compulsory for all new  TAA students. Dedicated Zoom Link \nIf you cannot attend the lecture\, a recording of a similar lecture is available via this Vimeo link. \nDates \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nModule 3-Level I will be offered over 3 alternating weekends and 4 midweek evenings\, starting on Saturday 27th August 2022\,  9.45 am \nCost \n\n\n\nDiscount rate if paid upfront for the full course \n\n\n\n\nProfessional:  $900 (3 x $300)\nConcession:     $675  (3 x $225)\nFor Students:  $450 (3 x $50) \nNormal rate if paid per weekend \nProfessional:  $1150 (3 x $350)\nConcession:     $825  (3 x $275)\nFor Students:  $600 (3 x $200) \nAll payments dues in advance by the preceding Tuesday/s. The first payment due by Tuesday 23rd  August 2022. \nHow to enrol \nComplete this enrolment form   and send  it to Johannes & Sue \nUpon payment you will receive an email the receipt\, a more detailed program and the relevant zoom link which will remain the same for all sessions. \nFor more information \nFor more information\, please visit the Biosculptural Architecture website

More recently Theodor has begun the Interview Show\, either directly or indirectly related to eurythmy. Previous recordings can be found here. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis month Theodor is interviewing Dawn Langman \n\n\n\n\nWhen? \nSaturday 19th February\, 2022\n9:00am AEDT\n8:30am ACDT\n8:00am AEST\n7:30am ACST\n6:00am AWST \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Dawn Langman \nDawn Langman taught Speech Formation for ten years at Emerson College in Sussex. Following this\, Dawn trained in Michael Chekhov’s acting technique in New York. Returning to Australia\, she continued to research the integration of Speech Formation with Chekhov’s technique. She examines this technique in relation to the specific challenges and gifts provided by the actor’s constitution of body\, soul and spirit\, and in the context of humanity’s evolving consciousness. She currently teaches this methodology at the Drama Centre\, Flinders University\, South Australia. \nIn the interview\, Dawn will speak about her new book and explain why we should pay attention to the zodiac in acting and eurythmy.

SUMMARY:Working with Steiner’s epoch motifs as a schooling for the ordering of the soul-life
DESCRIPTION: \nThey ‘lead us to confront the greatest of riddles – that  of human destiny’ \nA series of 7 experiential webinars + weekend studio\n  \nImmerse yourself in this unique journey through our soul/spiritual development! 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.

SUMMARY:Working with Steiner’s Nine Training Sketches for Painters
DESCRIPTION:  \nA masterclass studio with artist Fiona Campbell\nThe Nine Training Sketches motifs were given to the painters as a new impulse for understanding both Art and Nature\, to help the artist explore objective spiritual laws. They are a training for the soul. \nYou are invited to join artist and researcher Fiona Campbell for an online masterclass (six sessions) as she works with these nature mood motifs in preparation for an exhibition. Paint alongside her and share in her process as she works through the series of nine motifs from rough sketch to finished artwork. \nYou don’t have to be a professional artist\, or even very experienced\, to enjoy this course.  \nWhat are the Training Sketches? \nSteiner gave a series of nine and seven motifs to the artists in the form of rough drawings\, as a foundation for the renewal of the art of painting. They were 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 angels should look like. Rather\, they are a training for the soul. What does this mean? \nTheses nature mood sketches lead the painter towards an inward experience of each 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. \nBackground information  \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. To celebrate this event\, the Visual Art Section will hold an Intensive Week at the Goetheanum from 1-8 August 2022 and has invited artists to submit their work for the conference exhibition. Fiona has been working with the training sketches for 25 years and intends to submit works for the exhibition. You can view some of her previous works on these themes here.  \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 \n4 /18 Feb\, 4/18 Mar\, 1/22 April \nStudio intensive: there will also be a face-to-face weekend studio 4/6 June for intensive work. \nThe online masterclasses will continue after April if there is enough interest. \nHow much does it cost? \nOnline series:  $200 for 6×2 hr masterclasses or $40 for individual sessions\nWeekend studio: venue and cost tba. \nWhere do I register? \nContact Fiona to register \nPayment details and a list of suggested materials and readings available upon registration. \nFor more information \nFor more information about the masterclass or for any questions\, please contact Fiona Campbell \n You may also like to share this flyer with others. \n \n  \nAbout Fiona Campbell  \nFiona Campbell is a visual artist\, researcher\, lecturer and arts educator.
