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

SUMMARY:What effect will digital technology have on our future development?
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

SUMMARY:What is Transformative Art & Architecture?
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. Just join the meeting by clicking the button below \n  \n\nJoin the lecture here.  \n  \nFor more information \nYou can find more information about the course on the flyer. Or visit the Biosculputural Architecture website.  \nEnquiries: contact Johannes Schuster.

SUMMARY:The Spiritual Architecture of the Creative Process
DESCRIPTION:How the cosmic creative process is mirrored in nature and the human being. 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. This has been the basis of his interest and involvement with art and architecture. \nSue Schuster is an Art teacher with extensive experience in both main stream and Steiner Education\, from primary through to senior secondary levels. She has also been active in Adult Education and Steiner Teacher Training programs in Australia and overseas. \nYou can read more about Johannes and Sue here.  \nDates \n28 October 2021: free public lecture: What is Transformative Art & Architecture? \nSeminar Dates\n30-31 October 2021\n6-7 November 2021\n13-14 November 2021 \nCost \nThere are two rates: a discount rate for the full course and a weekend rate for those who prefer to pay in instalments.  \nDiscount rate for the full course \nProfessional:  $900 (3 x $300)\nConcession:    $675 (3 x $225)\nFor Students:  $450 (3 x $150) \nWeekend rate per weekend \nProfessional:  $350\nConcession:    $275\nFor Students:  $200 \nAl payments dues in advance by the preceding Tuesday.  \nHow to enrol \nFor enrolment form and registration information \nClick here. \n \nOr visit the Biosculputural Architecture website.  \nEnquiries: contact Johannes Schuster.  \n  \nImage: photo courtesy of Johannes Schuster \n  \n

SUMMARY:What is Transformative Art & Architecture?
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.

SUMMARY:The Four Ethers and Universal Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Universal Beauty has the power to transform\nPresenters: Johannes and Sue Schuster \nAn online seminar over 3 alternate weekends \n  \nGreat works of art have the ability to affect us on such a deep level that we may suddenly experience tears of joy or even speechlessness. 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.

SUMMARY:The Representative of Humanity online
DESCRIPTION: \nExploring Rudolf Steiner’s Sculptural Group \nA series of ongoing zoom seminars hosted by Rudolf Steiner House\, London \n  \n  \nAll welcome\, no need to book\, no charge! \nDate/Time for early birds in Australia \nTime: 7.00pm-8.30pm (UK time)/6.00am-7.30am (AEDT)\nDates: 22 January\, 5/19 February\, 5/12/19 March\, 2 April Australian time \n  \nProgram \n21 January: Introducing Rudolf  Steiner’s Sculptural Group with Howard Smith  \nIn his last years\, Rudolf Steiner worked intensively on the wooden statue usually known as “The Representative of Mankind”. This work of art encapsulates the essence of earth evolution and the mission of Christ\, keeping the balance between the adversarial forces. This illustrated talk will look at some of the main details in the work\, and it’s message to us today. \nHoward is a life-long student of Anthroposophy. He has a PhD in Chemistry and worked as a researcher into the properties of water and as a science teacher. He founded the Science Group of the Anthroposophical Society in Great Britain and now works as a piano technical specialist.   \n4 February: Dynamic Relationships in the Representative of Humanity with Angus Jenkinson \nSteiner’s extraordinary statue seems to capture perhaps the most essential dynamics in the drama of a human life. Can we perceive these? What do we see? What do these dynamic relationships mean? Does it illuminate the Earth and its people? And in our own body\, soul\, and spirit? Do these dynamics reveal secrets such as those of evil\, failure\, and loving victory? Angus will enquire how this majestic artwork reveals dynamics of our souls and how our souls may help us understand the statue in a deeper way. Might this be life changing? \nAngus Jenkinson is a transdisciplinary research fellow and class holder who also works with organisational purpose. He is the author of 4 books\, including From Stress to Serenity: Gaining Strength in the Trials of Life and as co-author of Liquidity on the ecology of money. He is writing a book on Ecologic. \n18 February: The Christ with Peter Van Breda \nThe central figure of the sculpture\, known as the representative of humanity\, represents the Christ. He stands\, in characteristic gesture\, beside and beneath the forces that take us ‘out of ourselves’ and beside and above the forces that would harden\, drag us down and bind us to the earth. What can we learn of the Christ by contemplating this figure ? \nPeter Van Breda lives in London and is a priest of The Christian Community\, a movement for religious renewal.  \n4 March: Exploring Inner Balance with Caroline Chanter \nGerard Wagner worked with the Representative of Humanity as an image of balance applicable to polarities in the human being\, in general life\, and in art. Polarities between the ‘opposing forces’\, represented by Lucifer and Ahriman\, exist also in the colours. Because of this\, painting can consciously become a balancing act between the ‘luciferic’ and ‘ahrimanic’\, which in turn unites the heart of the painter with the feeling of inner balance that has arisen through the uniting of polarities. Could this be an approach to a new Christian Art? \nCaroline Chanter is a painter and art therapist. She teaches at the ‘Rudolf Steiner Painting School’ in Dornach and at ‘Swaasthyakala Niketan’\, a painting therapy school in Bangalore\, India. She has written two books about Gerard Wagner the latest an extensive biography A Life with Colour (Rudolf Steiner Press 2021). \n 11 March: The Representative of Humanity and the Revelation of the New Mysteries\, a conversation with Marguerite Miller \nWith a focus on the role of the Representative of Humanity\, Marguerite will offer an introduction to Rudolf Steiner’s preparation of humanity for the reappearance of Christ in the etheric.  In an open conversation to follow\, we will seek to create a shared imagination of our own role in freely manifesting the future within the stream of the New Mysteries. \nMarguerite Miller is a translator who lives in the American Midwest.  During her decades of engagement with spiritual science she has pursued her interest in the history of the Mysteries and the history and gestures of Rudolf Steiner’s teaching. \n 18 March: What is asked of the human being in our time? with Deborah Ravetz  \nSchiller said: ‘Live with your century\, but do not be its creature. Work for your contemporaries; but create what they need\, not what they praise.’ To be a contemporary means to be aware of what is happening in the present and to bring new impulses for the future. This talk will use story\, art and literature to suggest a way in which we can acknowledge the past\, be part of understanding our present and respond to the challenge of finding creative ideas for humanity now. \nDeborah Ravetz trained as a painter and Social Sculpture practitioner. She lectures and writes on the evolution of consciousness through art history\, literature and biography. The focus of her interest is the quest for authentic selfhood\, the possibility of community\, freedom and service. \n1 April: The Role of Resistance – The Adversaries\, servants of God or enemies of Man? with Geoffrey Norris  \nWhat is evil and how do we face it ?  We maybe recognise those beings portrayed in the sculpture\, Lucifer and Ahriman\, as enemies to be fought with and overcome. Or can we relate to them as servants of God who have actually been sent to help us ? As we see the portrayal of these beings sited together at the right hand side of the representative of humanity how do we relate to them ? Could they be serving us AND tempting us ? Then when we go on to contemplate them ‘fallen’ and ‘bound’ as they appear in the statue   how do they enter our consciousness ? \nGeoffrey Norris is a speech artist and teacher\, actor and director who gives regular speech classes and seminars.      \n  \nCost \nVoluntary donations towards costs and overheads are gratefully received and can be made by transfer to a Nationwide account held for this purpose.  \nAccount name: Adrian Hotten\, sort code: 07-01-16 account number: 31466776 \nHow to join  \nZoom link \nMeeting ID: 826 3212 9836\, \nPasscode: 755359\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kw5KhlMVS \nFor more information \nPlease contact Sue Peat for more information about the series\nContact Brendon McQuillan  join the London e-mailing list\nBrowse the Rudolf Steiner House London What’s On for more events  \n  \nFeatured image: Representative of Humanity (detail) by Rudolf Steiner and Edith Maryon\, 1924\, courtesy of AnthroWiki \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:28 Days of Insights\, Art and Encounter
DESCRIPTION:  \n‘28 Days of Insights\, Art and Encounter’\, the online study programme offered by the Goetheanum\, creates a space for finding inner strength and for keeping one‘s thinking flexible by sharing contents and artistic activities with others. \n“In times of change or restlessness the need for orientation grows. Focusing on a particular thought of one‘s own choice can be a source of strength in that situation\,” says Edda Nehmiz\, the Goetheanum Studies coordinator. Not just accepting a given thought but approaching it from different angles\, experiencing it as flexible yet not arbitrary – is what the Goetheanum Studies programme is aiming to achieve. \nThis international study programme offers study work and colloquia at a fixed time for 75 minutes per day online and 20 minutes daily\, each of eurythmy\, art and short contributions via video. Study work in German/English/Spanish/Portuguese and French. The language of communication in the colloquia is English. \nProgram \nThis international study programme is being offered three times a year. \nNext online courses (plenum in English) \n1 31 January to 27 February 2022\, 12 noon CET/10 pm AEDT\n2 4 September to 1 October 2022\, 9 am CET \nApply here! \nApply here \nFor more information \nFor more detailed information about this course\, check here or other online courses\, check here. \n

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.

SUMMARY:The Crown of Grassroots
DESCRIPTION:Theatre of the Sea presents Garments for Survival 2022\nThis year much depends on what we understand as a good life in a good society. The current trends of surveillance capitalism\, mediarchy\, and transhumanism are increasingly defining what our lives will be like. What are we prepared to wear and do we have any other options? \nGarments for Survival 2022 – society in the change room presents a series of online presentations; a global changeroom where you can try on The Crown of Grassroots and other garments for survival. Each garment will be a metaphor for a new thinking around social structures. \nOur aim is not to offer solutions but to facilitate a type of thinking that can find them. To this end we are imagining Garments of Survival as field of collective enquiry in which new ideas can articulate themselves through and in community. \nJoin Horst and Jennifer Kornberger to cut the cloth of social three-folding\, direct democracy\, civil society and basic income. \nProgram \nseries one – five Sundays  \nSun 06 Feb     The Crown of Grassroots \nSun 13 Feb     The Snakeskin Glove  \nSun 20 Feb     Coatings of Canvas \nSun 27 Feb     Cocoon in Common \nSun 06 Mar    Sack Cloth \n  \nPerth AWST 5.00 pm    \nTokyo JST 6.00 pm         \nSydney AEDT 8.00 pm \nWellington NZDT 10.00 pm  \n  \nCost \n\n\n\n\ncontributions by donations – this project is enabled by contributions from participants in line with community supported culture.  \nRegister \nRegister here! \n For more information \nYou can find more information about this event here.

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. Just contact Fiona Campbell \nHow much does it cost?  \nOnline series:  | $200 for full 7 webinars | $33 per individual workshop. \nWeekend studio: Linuwel School\, Maitland NSW\, 3-5 June \nWhat’s included in the price?  \nA video of each webinar\, list of suggested readings and a curated selection of copies of the motifs for private study only.  \nWhere do I register? \nAfter registration\, participants will be sent the Zoom workshop link and a list of suggested readings and materials.  The Zoom link will be sent again one (1) hour before the webinar. \nRegister here! \nPlease login for each session via your Zoom app and not via Eventbrite. \nFor more information \nPlease contact Fiona Campbell and share this flyer with others who might be interested. Thank you! \n  \nAbout Fiona Campbell  \nFiona Campbell is a researcher\, lecturer\, visual artist and arts educator.
