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.

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 URL:https://www.anthroposophyau.org.au/event/what-is-phenomenology/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Australia,International ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.anthroposophyau.org.au/wp-content/uploads/StreamOfLife.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Martin Samson":MAILTO:msamson@email.org.au END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20221104 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20221107 DTSTAMP:20260420T162921 CREATED:20220815T060854Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221027T024559Z UID:5322-1667520000-1667779199@www.anthroposophyau.org.au SUMMARY:LOGOS: Consecrating Humanity conference DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\n\nConference of\nThe Christian Community \nin Australia and New Zealand \n\n\n\n\nCelebrating 100 years of Christian Community\n\n\n\n4th – 6th November 2022\n \n\n\n\nIt is 100 years since the foundation of The Christian Community in 1922 in SwitzerlandCome share in community with all our priests from the Australia-New Zealand Region and Oberlenker Oliver Steinrueck from Berlin\, Germany.  \nLOGOS: Consecrating Humanity program\nDownload the program here \nWhere is it being held?  \n\n\n\n\nThe Michael Centre\, \n37A Wellington Park Drive\, \nWarranwood\, \nVIC\, Austtralia \n\n\n\n\nWhere do I register? \nDownload the registration form here URL:https://www.anthroposophyau.org.au/event/logos-consecrating-humanity-conference/ LOCATION:The Michael Centre\, 37a Wellington Park Drive\, Warranwood\, Vic\, Australia CATEGORIES:Australia,Michael group (outer east Melbourne),Victoria branch ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.anthroposophyau.org.au/wp-content/uploads/unnamed-2-e1666838751115.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20221022T160000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20221022T173000 DTSTAMP:20260420T162921 CREATED:20220929T031251Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221020T045906Z UID:5521-1666454400-1666459800@www.anthroposophyau.org.au 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great works of art all share a quality of timelessness which transcends their Age\, with an ability not just to awaken\, but with a  power to transform us. It seems that when such works of art touch on the good\, the true and the beautiful\, that they have ‘Universal Beauty.’ \nThis seminar explores the nature of Universal Beauty in connection with Nature’s language of form\, through the form signatures of the four elements\, the four ethers and the four connected physical forces. Together these form four polarities\, which Ernst Marti identified as Nature’s World Formula [1]  This ‘world formula’ gives us a profound insight as to how spirit connects with matter\, which is the key question for Transformative Art & Architecture. \nProgram \nOver three alternating weekends\, we will explore the question of how physical matter can be raised through art\, to resonate on a higher etheric level\, by employing the same vital life principles which nature uses. The point is not to copy nature’s forms\, but rather understanding the form signatures of her underlying forces. \nJohannes will explore the theoretic basis of the four ethers in morning lectures and discussions\, whilst Sue will take the afternoon art practice sessions in drawing and clay modelling. \nEnrolment details \nEnrol here! \nFor more information \nYou can find more information about this course\, including costs and program details\, here or contact  Johannes directly: 0414 724 587 \n  \n[1] Marti\, E.\, 2017.

DESCRIPTION:This online free public lecture by Johannes Schuster introduces the concepts underlying Transformative Art & Architecture and precedes a three-weekend course on this topic.  \nThe question of Transformative Art & Architecture raises questions about the nature of ‘anthroposophical’ architecture: \n\n\nDoes it exist? Some well-known ‘anthroposophical’ architects think it doesn’t.\nIf it does exist\, what are its aims and methods?\nDoes the Consciousness Soul Age ask us to think differently about future forms of Art & Architecture?\nIf so\, what is the new Element of the Age and how are we to work with it as artists and architects ?\n\n\nOnline link to the lecture \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84860687920?pwd=SS8vV0FaTXFVcVVNcmtGczEwZ21pZz09 \nMeeting ID: 848 6068 7920\nPasscode: 957659 \nFor more information \nFor more information\, check the flyer here or for details of the weekend course\, here or contact Johannes Schuster.  URL:https://www.anthroposophyau.org.au/event/what-is-transformative-art-architecture-2/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Artistic,Australia END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20211225T190000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20220105T194500 DTSTAMP:20260420T162921 CREATED:20211111T041523Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211111T090639Z UID:4295-1640458800-1641411900@www.anthroposophyau.org.au SUMMARY:The Twelve Days of Christmas – Holy Nights Contemplations DESCRIPTION:The Festival of Christmas as the Renewal of the Faculty of Memory \nand\n The Inner Structure of the Cycle of the Year Reflected in the Twelve Days of Christmas\nPresenter: Martin Samson \n  \nThis online event will be presented as a contemplation with conversational deepening.  \nIn each session there will be a half-hour consideration of the two themes\, which complement each other and set a mood of soul for participants to work with over the ensuing night and day.

How we can practically use this to transform the world.\nA Transformative Art & Architecture (TAA) seminar  \nAn online 6-day seminar over three weekends from Saturday 30th October to Sunday 14th November 2021. \n  \nWhat is it about?  \nThis “Creative Process” seminar begins with the question of how spirit condenses into matter\, which is also how nature manifests her forms. From the human perspective however it is the other way round: if we want to transform the world\, we must learn how to raise matter up to spirit\, which is what the theory of Transformative Art & Architecture (TAA) is concerned with. The archetypal creative process therefore has a downward manifestation phase\, as well as an upward transformation phase. This is how spirit and matter interact to become one. \nRead the course program here. You can find also more information about the course on the flyer \nPresenters \nJohannes Schuster has been actively involved with Anthroposophy for over 30 years. He currently works as a Biosculptural-Architectural Consultant and adult education tutor. His special interest has been the study of etheric forces and how these become the mediating link between spirit and matter.

DESCRIPTION:A free public lecture introducing The Spiritual Architecture of the Creative Process seminar\nThe Transformative Art & Architecture (TAA) Professional Development Initiative was founded by Johannes Schuster in 2017. \nThe aim of this initiative is to develop and promote an Anthroposophically based Theory of Transformative Art & Architecture\, which is based on the spiritual view of the human being and universe taught by Rudolf Steiner. The methodology arising from this theory is known as Biosculptural Architecture. Course participants may choose to do further study to qualify as Biosculptural Consultants. \nThe vision of TAA is for the forms of Art & Architecture to become forces for “Goodness\, Truth and Beauty” in the world. This vision takes its inspiration from Rudolf Steiner himself\, who in one of his lectures to the workers at the first Goetheanum\, spoke of the forms of Art & Architecture of the future as having the power to: \n\n… teach (human beings) how to love\, \n…. pour a spiritual fluid into hearts and souls….. \n…. turn evil into good…. \n                                 Rudolf Steiner\, “Ways to a new style in Architecture”\, 1914 \n\nHow to join the lecture\nNo need to register in advance.

DESCRIPTION:We don’t encourage computer use in Steiner Education – do we need to rethink our stance on this?\nSydney Rudolf Steiner College presents Workshop 5 of this 6-week online course with Fiona Campbell \nJoin our Steiner Education students as they ponder and debate five big questions about the tricky nature of human consciousness and its effect on the way we understand history\, past\, present and future. \nIn the early sessions we looked back to humanity’s far past to understand the concept of ‘evolving consciousness’ and why this concept is central to Steiner philosophy. We then examined its role today in the foundations of Steiner Education.  \nNow\, in session 5\, we will follow up this discussion by looking to the future and ask: What effect will digital technology have on our future development? We don’t encourage its use in Steiner Education in primary years – do we need to rethink our stance on this? \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this workshop we will discuss the pros and cons of using digital technology in educational contexts and its implications for human development and our evolving consciousness. When we look to the far future\, what could be some of the consequences of our current immersion into the virtual world and our reliance on what it offers? \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSo\, if you have ever wondered about ‘evolving consciousness’ in Steiner works\, or are involved in a Steiner school\, or even just intrigued\,  join us for our online workshops where we unpack some of the big questions about our past and how they shape the possibilities of our future development. Whether your interest is Steiner Education or Steiner philosophy\, come and join in to the conversation. \nThis online course is led by Dr Fiona Campbell who has researched the topic of evolving consciousness for 25 years. Fiona also has a Masters in Digital Media and Information Science and has taught digital technology skills for almost ten years. She has been teaching at Sydney Rudolf Steiner College since 1994 and combines her wealth of knowledge and experience in Anthroposophy\, information science and visual arts with her studies about human consciousness and phenomenology.  \nBook now! \nCourse Dates: 13th & 20th October.\nVenue/Time: Zoom online 7:30pm to 9pm (Sydney time)\nCost: For the cost of individual sessions please contact Jing Li \nContact Us\nFor more information\, click here or email Jing Li  \n \n  URL:https://www.anthroposophyau.org.au/event/what-effect-will-digital-technology-have-on-our-future-development/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Australia ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/gif:https://www.anthroposophyau.org.au/wp-content/uploads/ed-readingemotions-final.gif ORGANIZER;CN="Sydney Rudolf Steiner College":MAILTO: admin@sydneyrudolfsteinercollege.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20211009 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20211012 DTSTAMP:20260420T162921 CREATED:20210830T031950Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211005T002726Z UID:3846-1633737600-1633996799@www.anthroposophyau.org.au SUMMARY:The Actuality of Rudolf Steiner: An Interdisciplinary Exploration of Steiner in the 21st Century DESCRIPTION:International Steiner Symposium\nRudolf Steiner wrote and spoke prolifically about a wide range of areas\, from social and political theory to philosophy\, from spirituality to ethics\, and from education to biodynamics. A common thread in this vast corpus of work was Steiner himself pointing out that everything he wrote and said was contextually bound by his experiences and surroundings.  \nThis invites the question: What can be learnt from Steiner’s works which can help us understand today’s society and our role within it? \nThis online symposium seeks to address this question through an interdisciplinary collection of papers and contributions dealing critically and constructively with Steiner’s work. As such\, it sits within the Institute for Education and Social Innovation’s (ibugi) broader research project of the same title: The Actuality of Rudolf Steiner. \n  \nWhat’s it about?  \nThe symposium is part of the broader ibugi project which opens a dialogue with Steiner’s ideas and discourses and investigates where and whether approaches to the topics such as Consciousness and Reality\, Gender and diversity\, Social justice and social innovation and Ethics can be found in his works.  \nAs part of an interdisciplinary research symposium\, the presenters do not claim to provide final interpretations and readings of Steiner. Rather\, they are interested multifaceted\, individual and creative perspectives in order to promote academic examination of research questions that seem relevant to today.  \nLocal speakers \nThe symposium is international\, with speakers and researchers from round the Anthroposophical world presenting on this theme\, through the lens of their own fields of expertise. From our local region\, Dr Neil Boland who is well known for his research into Steiner Education in New Zealand has a prerecorded paper titled The actuality of anthroposophy in the 21st century academy\, concerning anthroposophy as a path of knowledge which seeks to lead what is spiritual in the human being to what is spiritual in the cosmos\, and its visibility and status in the academy; and Dr Fiona Campbell\, who researches cognition and creativity\, is speaking about Goethean phenomenology as a cultural therapeutic for our times.  \nWho is it for?  \nThe symposium is for anyone who seeks to understand the challenges that are coming to meet us from the future\, for anyone who is open to new ideas\, to thinking freely and working together interactively in the fields of education and social innovation. \nThe symposium is also free and online so accessible to anyone. \nWhen: Oct 9\, 2021 – Oct 11. The symposium runs on Central European Summer Time (CET)\, so the opening lectures on the Friday night are in the middle of the night AEDT but the Saturday and Sunday lectures are accessible in the evenings. E.g. Fiona’s paper will be given at 11pm AEDT. \nWhere: Online. Holding the symposium online enables international contributions and participation. Recordings of some sessions will be available.  \nCost: Free \nRegistrations now open.  \nClick here to register URL:https://www.anthroposophyau.org.au/event/international-steiner-symposium/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Australia,International ORGANIZER;CN="Dr. Andrew Brogan":MAILTO:ab@ibugi.de END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20210928T193000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20210928T193000 DTSTAMP:20260420T162921 CREATED:20210923T002717Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210923T003322Z UID:3810-1632857400-1632857400@www.anthroposophyau.org.au SUMMARY:Gravitas and Grace: Grief as Initiation Part Three DESCRIPTION:This is the third in a series of three sessions and part of a larger program of training for pastoral palliative work co-ordinated by Lisa Devine.  \nRegistration \nPlease register here in advance for this meeting.
