DESCRIPTION:  \nPainted Space Studio \npresents \n  \nAn online training in art as a spiritual practice\nfor the ordering & strengthening of the soul\n2026 Enquiries open now! \n  \nWhat is it about? \nThis two-year online training offers a unique approach to learning painting and drawing\, where artistic practice becomes a schooling process for the soul.  \nThis is a path of inner work through creative practice. \n\nA study of spiritual science through artistic practice\, where the study is the artistic exercise and the texts are supplementary to these exercises.\nA vision of into the tasks and role of the artist of the future – beyond self-consciousness to world consciousness. \n\nRudolf Steiner was adamant that Anthroposophy should not just be taken in as concepts or theories\, which has a hardening effect on the soul\, but be experienced by whole human being. Rudolf Steiner states that without the artistic element\, Anthroposophy cannot go into the future\, for it will go ‘short of breath’ and become nothing but a dead corpse of the living force it should be. \n  \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE SCHOOLING \nDelivery mode \nA combination of pre-recorded technical videos\, mini-lectures\, fortnightly Zoom meetings\, individual mentoring\, self-directed home study and workshop intensives.  \nParticipants can also proceed at their own pace with the videos\, but still benefit from professional guidance and sharing with an international artistic community of like-minded souls.  \nThe course package is a combination of: \n\nsix courses (three a year over two years)\nsix lecture webinars (over two years)\nfive workshop intensives (two+ a year)\nan individual project (can be done in conjunction with a course or workshop)\nregular study group\ntwo individual consultations\nself-directed artistic work\n\nWho is the schooling course for? \n\nStudents of Anthroposophy interested in an creative and experiential path to inner work\, meditation and understanding Spiritual Science.\nArtists trained at conventional art schools who wish to learn about the anthroposophic approach to art.\nWaldorf (Steiner) teachers and therapists who wish to extend their professional practice by deepening their understanding of the anthroposophic impulse in art.\n\n  \nREAD WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS IN FIONA’S COURSE HAVE TO SAY \nDuration?  \nFebruary-December 2026\, over three terms.   \nEnrolments are accepted by term\, according to previous experience. \nDuration of the course: Total of 110 hrs contact hours + 400-600 hrs approx self-managed creative work at home over two years.

She believes in artistic practice being an holistic practice that engages the human being in our totality as physical\, psychical and spiritual. \nFiona trained in visual arts and artistic therapy at Tobias School of Art. She has three research-based degrees\, including a PhD in creative thinking and a Diploma in Waldorf Education from Emerson College\, England. She has been a professional artist since 1992\, a member of the Anthroposophical Society since 1978 and the School of Spiritual Science since 1992. \n  \nTHIS SCHOOLING COURSE IS AN INITIATIVE OF THE VISUAL ARTS SECTION \n  \n  \n  \nIn an inartistic atmosphere\, (Anthroposophy) goes short of breath; only in an artistic element can it breathe freely. Rightly understood\, it will lead over to the genuinely artistic without losing any of its cognitional character \n  \nRudolf Steiner\nLecture III’\, The Arts and their Mission\, \n2 June 1923\, Dornach\, CW276 \n  \nFeature image: Black Study I\, courtesy of Fiona Campbell

SUMMARY:Inscribing Signs with a Finger Dipped in Light 2026
DESCRIPTION: \nTowards A Cultural-Spiritual Approach to Dying and Death\nOnce\, we understood dying and death through imaginations\, inspirations and intuitions. For many\, this consciousness\, understanding and reverence of dying and death\, and life beyond the threshold\, have been lost\, silenced and ‘dropped’ from our individual and communal cultural-spiritual life.  \nBy offering a deep study of Anthroposophy/Spiritual Science\, our course provides a pathway towards understanding the significance of dying and death in the context of your own life. \nIf it is your intention is to become a Companion to the Dying\, this step is a prerequisite\, as it will give you the integrity\, competence\, transformative knowledge and awareness to support those journeying towards the threshold.  \nOur aim is to enable you to develop a sincere relationship with Death\, an understanding of the individual path of dying and reincarnation\, and reverence of the autonomous moment of death.  \nOur use of the arts and creative activities – visual art\, sculpture\, music [Music Thanatology]\, creative speech\, poetry\, creative writing\, oral storytelling and folktale research\, and eurythmy – will cultivate and integrate your perception of death as the most sacred\, the most individual moment in life.  \nThis insight allows us to develop with you spiritual-cultural approaches and creative processes you can apply with autonomy and integrity both as Companion to the Dying and your own life. \nDownload the course prospectus \n  \n\n\n\n\nWhen \n\n\n\n\nCourse duration: March – November 2026 \nFlyer \nPlease download the flyer and contact us with any questions. \nContact \nInscribing Signs\, running successfully since 2024\, welcomes your inquiries and expressions of interest for 2026. \nCourse Convenors \nIrmhild Kleinhenz 0444 551 381 \nIris Curteis  0487 719 476 \n  \n  \nIn Cooperation With: The Section For Literary Arts & Humanities\, The Section For Performing Arts\, and The Collegium Of The School Of Spiritual Science\, \nGoetheanum\, Dornach \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\nFeature Image: courtesy of Iris Curteis \n\n  \n\n\n\n  \n  \n
