SUMMARY:Parzival and Feirefiz: Co-Creating a New Grail Ritual
DESCRIPTION:  \nExploring the Grail mysteries over the course of three workshops (plus a bonus performance session!). We will hear presentations on themes of colour\, tone\, sound\, ritual and more. We will also have the opportunity to explore our biographies and converse in pairs and groups. See below for the schedule and more details!  \nAbout the series \nThe medieval initiation story of Parzival (also written Percival\, Perceval\, Parsifal and Peredure)\, a knight who goes in search of the Holy Grail\, has been an archetypal and spiritual inspiration for many great thinkers\, including Rudolf Steiner. There are several retellings of this story\, most famously Wolfram von Eschenbach’s medieval epic poem and Richard Wagner’s opera Parsifal. \nWagner’s Parsifal does not include Feirefiz\, the Black brother of Parzival\, as Eschenbach’s story does. Why is this? It appears to be the tragic outcome of a worldview that places the white European narrative first – at the cost of other experiences\, cultures\, and races.  \nUsing the Parzival narrative as a foundation\, and an exploration of themes of light and dark within music and art\, this workshop series will explore questions around brother and sisterhood\, inclusion\, and race. We will also explore how ritual can be a healing structure to connect with the ostracised Other and build wholeness and inclusion in our society. Seen through this lens\, the story of the quest for the Holy Grail can be reimagined more as a collective or collaborative social process\, a journey to the Other\, than as a singular quest for individual enlightenment. \nCost \nSuggested: $60\nYouth & Equity: $30\nSupporter: $95 \nWhen \nMay 21\, June 4\, and June 18\, at 3am Sydney/10 am Pacific for 75 min. via Zoom \nRegistration \nRegister here! \nThen check your inbox for a confirmation email with all links and resources.   \nEach gathering will be recorded and posted in our Participant Portal (link emailed upon registration). \nFor more information \nDetailed information about the program and the presenters.  \n  \nThis series of webinars is hosted by the Anthroposophical Society in America \n  \n\nThere is a knighthood of the 21st century whose riders do not ride through the darkness of forests\, but through the forests of darkened minds. Out of them shines healing. They must create inner justice\, peace\, and conviction in the darkness of our time.\n~ Karl König \n\n  \nImage credit: courtesy of the ASA \n

SUMMARY:What is Phenomenology? And is it time to consign 'subjective/objective' to the past?
DESCRIPTION:Stream of Life Research Studio presents \nA webinar discussion \non consciousness and the nature of being \n\n\nThis webinar is the 4th in our popular ongoing series. Join us again! or join us for the first time. All welcome! \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? \nProgram \nWe have another exciting program to share with you: \n\nRobin Steele presenting her hermeneutic research into therapeutic change through psychophonetics. \nKate Sharp sharing her methodology as an art therapist. \nthen\, an open discussion on the thorny question of subjective vs. objective.\n\nSubjective vs objective \nThis dichotomy has been the bedrock parameter for judging research in the past\, but is it time to consign this dualistic way of perceiving the world to history?  \nThe modern desire for absolute and certain knowledge\, what the philosopher John Dewey called ‘the quest for certainty’\,* is foundational to this attitude. In the past\, scientifically-rigorous\, valid and reliable outcomes replaced the unknowns of opinions\, beliefs and ‘supernatural’ experience with known facts. And despite qualitative research’s increasing acceptance\, this mentality is still shaping our response to phenomenological research\, to our understanding of human consciousness and indeed\, to Anthroposophy itself\,  \nThis question will be the theme up for discussion and questioning in the second part of the webinar.  \nWhen will this webinar take place?  \n6.30 pm AEST Wednesday 31st May 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  \nWho are the Stream of Life Research Studio? \nStream of Life is a fluid\, collective group of researchers and practitioners who are interested in exploring Anthroposophy with open and inquiring minds and hearts. The founding members of the Studio are Dr Fiona Campbell\, whose core research work concerns consciousness\, cognition and creativity; and Dr Martin Samson\, who studies how the spiritual and physical work in union with each other in the starry realms. \n\n\n\nDifferent members have different fields of expertise but all are working out of Anthroposophy and use some form of phenomenology as their primary research methodology\, in an approach that stretches beyond the world of natural science into the arts\, humanities and human sciences. \n  \n\n\n\n\nPhenomenology 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*John Dewey\, (1930). The quest for certainty: A study of the relation of knowledge and action.

SUMMARY:What is veil painting? Exploring the four elements through gesture
DESCRIPTION:  \nWith artist Fiona Campbell \nThis online workshop uses the four elements – warmth\, air\, water\, earth – to build on the foundations of the wet-on-dry watercolour technique\, introduced last April in What is veil painting? And why do we do it? \nThe workshop teaches classic veiling; participants will create an artwork with a nature theme with guidance from the presenter. The workshop will be recorded and available for three months.  \nWhy we use this technique? \nThe workshop demonstrates the classic veiling technique\, as used in therapy and meditative practices. We use the theme of the four elements to explore how different brush strokes embody different activities and moods\, and the effects this has on both painting and painting.   \nEach element has a different gesture that characterises the phenomenal world of Nature. These gestures provide variations in veiling approaches that go beyond being mere ‘outer’ techniques and point to how we must learn to paint out of our inner soul life rather than out of ‘special effects’.  \nThe workshop also explores the fundamentals of the anthroposophic approach to painting.  \nWho is it for? \nFor anyone interested in learning more about this unique watercolour approach to enlivening colour.  \nFor anyone interested in the anthroposophic approach to art\, colour and painting.  \nWhen  \nSaturday 30 September\, 2023 at 2.00pm AEST \nCost \n$65 includes video recording  \nHow to register  \nBook here \nHow to join the workshop\nThe Zoom link and a list of materials will be sent to you after you register.  \nFor more information \nPlease contact Fiona Campbell  \n  \nAbout the presenter \nFiona Campbell PhD is a visual artist\, researcher\, lecturer and arts educator. She does interdisciplinary research on phenomenology\, creativity and cognition and has been a professional artist and arts educator for more than 30 years.  \nFiona provides a wealth of professional and teaching practice with this specialist watercolour approach\, including 35 years as a professional artist\, 10 years art therapy practice and 12 years as a lazure/mural artist.  \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. She draws on Rudolf Steiner’s Colour lectures\, his ‘portfolio’ of training sketches for artists and his numerous references to the role of art and the task of the modern artist.  \nYou can find out more about Fiona here or listen to an 2021 ABC Soul Search interview with her about the anthroposophical approach to art. \n  \n“The basis of artistic creation is not what is\, \nbut what might be; not the real\, but the possible. \nRudolf Steiner\, in The Aesthetics of Goethe’s Worldview \n  \nPhoto credit: Trees in Sunny Air\, © Fiona Campbell

SUMMARY:Working with Colour\, Out of Colour
DESCRIPTION:Painted Space Studio  \n \nA short online course\nintroducing how to work with colour in painting\n  \nAnthroposophic approach to painting \nHow do we experience colour? And what does it mean that form arises out of colour\, and not that colour is attached to form? So how do we paint ‘out of colour’ and not form? To answer these questions\, we start with Goethe’s Theory of Colour as our foundation. Using immersive wet-on-wet watercolour\, we explore the qualities and gestures of each colour\, and learn how colours have a life of their own\, qualities that express their very essence\, when painted ‘out of colour’. \nWhy Goethe’s Theory of Colour?  \nGoethe proposed a revolutionary method of approaching the phenomena of colour\, one which integrates the observer with the experience. Further\, Goethe was concerned with the qualities of colours\, which he called the ‘deeds and sufferings of the light’. By immersing our senses in the colours\, we come a deep\, intuitive relationship with them that connects us more strongly to both the physical and soul worlds. \nThis course provides a foundation to the approach to painting used in Steiner (Waldorf) schools and to the anthroposophic understanding of colour itself.  \nWho is it for?  \n\nFor Steiner class teachers who would like to learn more about the nature of colour as used in the Steiner School curriculum\nFor anyone interested in learning the fundamentals of the anthroposophic approach to art\, colour and painting. \n\nWhen is it? \n2 March-6 April\, Saturdays 4pm-5.15pm AEDT\nSix weekly sessions plus recording \nCost \n$170 AUD/$120 USD\n$190 AUD for PD certificate \nBookings \nBook here! \nFor more information \nFind out more about this course and others\,  \n  \nAbout Painted Space Studio \nPainted Space Studio offers a comprehensive training program in art\, emphasising its potential as a spiritual practice. By recognising art as a bridge to the spiritual\, the studio provides individuals with an creative path for harmonising and strengthening their inner being through art. \nPainted Space uses the anthroposophic approach to art as its framework\, but leads each artistically-striving individual towards the full expression of their own creativity\, which goes beyond mere aesthetics and taps into the profound connection between the human spirit and the creative process. \nDirector: Fiona Campbell  \n  \nFeature image: Goethe’s symmetric colour wheel with associated symbolic qualities (1809) \n

SUMMARY:The Art of Color: A Head Study and Mother and Child Imagination after Rudolf Steiner’s Indications
DESCRIPTION:  \nAnthroArt  \npresents \nThe Art of Color: A Head Study and Mother and Child Imagination after Rudolf Steiner’s Indications\nAs part of the AnthrOArt Painting Program at Shan Mei Zhen we are offering a weekend painting session on portrait and figure painting based on Rudolf Steiner’s indications of the Head Study and Mother and Child sketches for teenagers. \nThe so-called Friedwart Sketches\, given by Rudolf Steiner 100-years ago this year\, are the basis for both high school painting exercises and an adult painting training. We will consider the history and makeup of these themes together with a hands-on approach of painting them\, as much as possible\, “out of the color”. We will likewise see how these sketches are visual meditative verses in color rather than in words. Illustrated slide presentations will be a part of the program and Color Eurythmy will complement the work in watercolor. We will see how the themes are a part of a larger initiative put forward by Rudolf Steiner for the unfolding of “artistic feeling” and universal human development.  \nDownload the flyer \nWhen \nSaturday\, May 11 and Sunday\, May 12\, 2024 \nWhere \nShan Mei Zhen\, Taichung\, Taiwan \nFor more information \nContact smz.waldorf@gmail.com   \n  \n  \nFeature image: Head Study\, Rudolf Steiner from the Seven School (Friedwart) Sketches \n

DESCRIPTION:Painted Space Studio \npresents \n\n\n\n\nAn Art Intensive For Nourishing The Soul Forces\n\n\n\n\n \nLet’s prepare ourselves Spring! \nThis intensive therapeutic painting workshop brings the health-giving forces of the harmonious breath into our souls and bodies as we breathe out the Winter and breathe in the renewed life coming towards us. \n\n \nLate Winter can be a difficult time: Nature’s death shudder is still with us\, but already signs of hope and new growth are appearing in the earth. By preparing our souls for the burgeoning forces of Spring\, we nurture the new forces arising in our inmost being and bring them into harmonious rhythm with Nature’s rhythms. \n\n \nBased on a classic Hauschka therapy exercise Painting as an Exercise for Breathing\, this online workshop is an immersive experience using wet-on-wet painting or pastels and is for anyone in need of soul nourishment. \n\n \nOnline guided exercises and contemplation interspersed with working quietly in the comfort of your home with the company of an Australia-wide community. \n\n\n\n\nWhy join the live class? Benefits of live participation \nWhen you paint with others\, at the same time as them\, even though it is in a virtual environment\, you are creating community. Think of it as a group of people coming together with the specific intention to build substance\, to create something together\, to bring something into the world that benefits both ourselves yet also puts positive\, creative forces into the world. And we create within a divine-spiritual community. Divine beings look over our shoulders; we create in their company and in the company of like-minded others.The gift is in the giving\, in the doing\, as much as in the product. \nWho is it for?\nBeginners welcome! You do not need to be an experienced artist to benefit from this workshop.

SUMMARY:Working with Steiner's Nature Mood Sketches
DESCRIPTION:  \nPainted Space Studio \npresents \nThe Seven School (Friedwart) Sketches series \n  \nThis fortnightly online course introduces you to Rudolf Steiner’s approach to painting and his understanding of how the formative forces shape and move the world around us through his own pastel sketches. The course uses the wet-on-dry veiling technique or pastels\, if preferred. \nThe Seven School (or Friedwart) Sketches were first given to Waldorf teachers as part of Steiner’s new impulse for understanding both Art and Nature\, to help students explore invisible yet objective laws of Nature. The series leads us from the archetypal nature moods of sunrise and sunset through the four elements to the human world\, culminating in a Madonna and Child motif.  \nWhat are the Training Sketches? \nTheses sketches are part of a comprehensive portfolio known as the Training Sketches for the Artists. Along with The Nine Training Sketches (Nature Moods) and the Goetheanum epochs motifs\, they form an important 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 at the Goetheanum. She believes that working with the creative forces in and around us can become the starting point for facing tasks in healing the world.  \nWho is this course for? \n\nFor Steiner teachers\, artists\, art therapists and art students seeking to understand how the formative forces work in Nature and Human.\n\n\nFor anyone interested in the foundations of the anthroposophic approach to art\, colour and painting. You do not need to be an experienced artist to enjoy this course. \n\nThis course is a core course of the Art as a Path of Schooling for the Soul training. \nWhen is it? \n3pm-5pm Saturdays AEST\, 31 August-23 November 2024\nSeven two-hour fortnightly sessions. Participants are expected to do some homework between classes. Edited recordings of the sessions are available post-class but live participation is preferred\, unless your time zone makes this impossible. \nCost \n$300 AUD/$205 USD\n$305 AUD for PD certificate \nVideo recording included in the fee\, available for private study. \n\nBook here!\n\n\nHow to join the workshops \nThe Zoom link\, payment details\, a list of materials and suggested readings will be sent to you after booking. \n  \nOther Painted Space Studio workshop  courses \n \n \nFor more information\n\nContact \n\n\n \n \n\n‘…and in the creations of the artist t here will appear to us \nthe traces of his soul experience in the cosmos‘ \n  \nSteiner\n \n \n \nFeature image: Sunlit Tree by a Waterfall No. 6 © Fiona Campbell\n

SUMMARY:A Conversation With Your Garden: Plant Observation And Drawing
DESCRIPTION:  \nPainted Space Studio \npresents \nA Series of Workshops on Goethean Observation and Nature Moods\n  \nLet’s prepare ourselves Spring! \nSpring is the ideal time of year to turn our eyes to Nature and learn her secrets through Goethean observation\, drawing and reflection. Spending time up close with Nature in the garden\, a park\, a local nature reserve or even just with a few pot plants on your balcony is both energising and healing. \n(Of course\, any time of the year in Nature is good\, but Spring and Autumn have particular qualities of change and transformation especially suited to drawing and observation.)  \nWhat will we do? \nThrough the six online workshops\, learn to see anew the wonder of your own garden. Each workshop leads us through a process of becoming ‘at home’ with Nature\, from quiet contemplation\, careful observation\, and mood immersion\, to sketching\, colour work and reflection. \nLearn the core stages of a phenomenological process and practice the different drawing/sketching techniques to take us through this process. Techniques include charcoal\, pencil\, paint and pastel. Participants keep a visual diary to document their discoveries and observations. \nBy getting up close with our garden in this way\, the world around us becomes more alive – living and becoming. \nWhat is Goethean phenomenology? \nGoethean phenomenology (also known as Goethean observation) helps us develops new eyes for the world around us. It offers us another way of being in the world\, one that brings us into a more participatory connection with Nature and ourselves. We learn to step into the world and feel at home with it. \nWho is it for? \n\nFor Steiner teachers\, artists\, art therapists and art students seeking to understand how the formative forces work in Nature\nFor anyone interested in knowing more about Goethean phenomenology and how to practice it.\n\nSuitable for all levels. You do not need to be an experienced artist to enjoy these workshops.  \nVideo recordings included in the fee\, available for private study. \nWhen is it on?  \n5.00pm-6.30pm AEST\, 11 September to 20 November 2024 \nHow do I book? \n \nBook here\nPlease complete the online form to book for this series of workshops. You will be sent the payment details and a list of suggested materials and readings after booking.  \nThe Zoom link is sent one (1) day before the workshop begins. \nMore information \nFind out more about this course and others from Painted Space or contact Fiona Campbell. \n  \n  \nOh\, I who wish to grow\,

SUMMARY:Spirit in Human\, Human in Spirit: Investigations with Painting
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nPainted Space Studio presents \nA course in the spiritual/physical nature of the human being\n  \n“In the head the power of faith; \nin the heart the might of love ; \nin the full human being\, all-sustaining hope.”  \nRudolf Steiner \n  \nRudolf Steiner’s picture imaginations arose from direct experiences of the spirit. He captured many of these pictures in his pastels sketches and paintings\, called the Training Sketches for the Artist.  He suggested that working artistically with these sketches would act as an impulse in us to find new directions for the future of art as a path for spiritual-scientific inquiry. \nThis online masterclass in painting over seven fortnightly sessions examines the human being in connection to the spirit from three different perspectives: the spiritual impulse in the human being\, the human impulse in the spiritual world\, and the threefold human being as spirit\, soul and body. \nWe use three of Steiner’s training sketches as our starting point for this exploration. \nWhat are Steiner’s Training Sketches? \nThe Training Sketches can be seen as ‘picture seeds’ and were given to the artists in answer to a request from the painter Henni Geck for a new impulse in art. Henni Geck (1884-1951) was the first painter to use these indications. \nWho is the course for? \n\nFor Steiner teachers\, artists\, art therapists and art students seeking to understand the hidden forces of Cosmos and Nature.\n\nPainting skills and understanding of core anthroposophic principles recommended to get the most out of this course. \nSelected readings by Rudolf Steiner complement the practical work. \nWhen is it? \n14 February-9 May 2025\, Fridays 2pm-4pm AEDT\nSeven fortnightly classes plus recording \nCost \n$280 AUD/$190 USD for ongoing participants\n$290 for PD certificate or for new participants enrolling only in this course.\nVideo recordings included in the fee\, available for private study. \nBook here!\nYou will be sent the payment details and a list of suggested materials and readings after booking.  \nThe Zoom link is sent one (1) day before the workshop begins. \nFor more information \nContact Fiona Campbell \n  \nFeature image: The Threefold Human Being © Rudolf Steiner Verlag \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The inner nature of colour: as pictorial\, as luminous
DESCRIPTION:A Painted Space Studio workshop\n  \nWhen we experience the life of colour\, \nwe step out of our own skins and take part in cosmic life. \nRudolf Steiner \n  \nColour as a way to the spirit \nThis online painting course offers the opportunity for a deeper experience and understanding of the inner nature of colour. Building on Goethe’s Theory of Colour\, yet quite different from it\, Rudolf Steiner shows us the world of colour as one might experience it in the soul world. \nAbout Steiner’s colour circle \nWe work in conjunction with Rudolf Steiner’s colour circle and Colour lectures (CW 291\, CW 275). In these lectures\, Steiner describes the colours as having either a pictorial (image) and or a luminous (lustre) nature. We explore what this means for our understanding and experience of colour that has implications for how we perceive what we call ‘reality’. \nIn this approach\, Steiner lays a foundation for a practical technique of working with colour that leads us to a new form of artistic creativity\, a new way of understanding of colour\, which is the central of the anthroposophic approach to painting. \nWho is it for? \n\nFor artists\, art therapists and art students looking to find a path of soul/spiritual development through the arts.\nFor anyone pursuing a deeper understanding of the anthroposophic approach to art\, colour and painting. \nFor participants in the 2nd year of Art as a Path of Schooling for the Soul.\n\n \nDesirable background:: experience of working with Goethe’s Theory of Colour. \nRecommended: basic watercolour wet-on-dry or veiling skills (you can use wet-on-wet or pastel if preferred\, but wet-on-dry watercolour painting is recommended).  \nBackground readings: Steiner’s Colour lectures Part I: ‘The Nature of Colour’ \nWhen is it? \n15 February-10 May 2025\, Saturdays 3pm-5pm AEDT\nSeven fortnightly classes plus recording \nCost \n$300 AUD/$195 USD\n$310 for PD certificate \nVideo recording and handouts included in the fee. \n \n\nBook here!\n\nThe payment options\, Zoom link\, and list of materials will be sent after booking. \nFor more information \nContact Fiona Campbell \nThis course also a core component of Art as a Path of Schooling for the Soul. It follows on from Working with Colour Moods. Together\, they are integral to the anthroposophic (Steiner) approach to colour and painting. \n \n \nFeature image: Steiner’s Colour circle

He worked together with Rudolf Steiner and the first Waldorf school’s teachers to create a school curriculum based in knowledge of the developmental stages of the incarnating child and through this support their individual maturation and longer term health. Dr Kolisko was also instrumental in establishing therapy modalities in art\, including a therapeutic eurythmy curriculum for school children and young people. \nDownload the program and timetable \nWhere \n\nTaikura Rudolf Steiner School\, Hastings\, New Zealand\n\nFee \n\n\n\n\nEarly Bird of NZ $420.00 GST incl.
