Social Threefolding Talk
2019-07-02 19:00 - 21:00 | Rudolf Steiner House, 307 Sussex Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000
Social Threefolding: What factors are preventing it from taking hold in our society today? During 2017 and 2018 Michael embarked on several tours to different parts of the world with a two-person play that showed how Steiner released into 1917 Germany his blueprint of a plan that could rescue that country from the devastation she was in. The play was historical but pointed to our own time, 100 years later. The culmination of this effort was two three-month tours of an America, deeply divided and uncertain whether it would go the way of a second Civil War or a second War of Independence. Michael brings some insights from these two tours and looks at what we can do today, both in the realm of our outer activity and in an inner awakening of independent thought in the spirit of “ethical individualism” and Steiner’s Philosophy of Freedom. A talk with Michael Burton starting at 7pm at Rudolf Steiner House.

Fortnightly Study Group
Contact: allisonartist@gmail.com
Inner Development for World Development Group
“Inner Development for World Development Group.” We meet 5pm Tuesday fortnightly
at Steiner House
WHO YOU ARE:
* You are aware of a deep longing within that has recently been awoken by the words of Rudolf Steiner. You have lots of questions and are beginning to fill yourself with some of the majestic imaginations of Anthroposophy
or
* You have attended public lectures and read a few books
Steiner wrote. You may already have struggled with doing the exercises or meditations that Steiner recommends for healthy balanced esoteric growth but have not been able to maintain your practice or
* You have realised that you stand in the world as a vessel for Anthroposophia and are interested in supporting others in the deeper work.
INTENTIONS: You will choose your own exercises to work on. You will work at your own pace. Others may make suggestions or give you feedback -but the choice will be yours own and you will hold yourself accountable.
We will witness and support your commitment to yourself.
Steadfastness stands higher than success
RS: Knowledge of Higher Worlds
To encourage an imaginative consciousness within the group we will balance the inner work by engaging in artistic processes led by different people in the group.
During school holidays we will meet 5-8pm where we can share our biographies – to help us become more aware of the divinity within each.
You will be encouraged to embark on spiritual research into your deepest heartfelt questions and share this journey with us.
In the last few years of his life Steiner increasingly spoke of the necessity and great esoteric significance to learn to work in Spiritual Science based groups. Are you motivated to keep coming back when one of us annoys, irritate or offends you; or when life gets demanding, distracting or complicated?
‘Life gets more luminous
Life gets more arduous’ ……when you truly seek your destiny star. RS

A Blueprint for cooling our Blue Planet

By coupling the water cycle with the carbon cycle, we can restore our planets temperature to preindustrial levels within 2 decades.

‘ the Solution to climate change lies beneath our feet and it depends on what we choose to eat.’
