SUMMARY:The Nine Nature Mood Training Sketches for Painters by Rudolf Steiner
DESCRIPTION:  \nA masterclass series in painting out of the indications of Rudolf Steiner\nWhen asked if he would renew the art of painting out of spiritual-scientific insights\, as he did with eurythmy for the art of dance\, Rudolf Steiner gave nine “Nature Mood” sketches saying\, ‘Try starting like this…’  and created a series of training sketches for the artists.  \nThis online masterclass with artist\, author and educator Van James will follow up on The Art and Individuality of Color: Rudolf Steiner’s Color Theory and his Painting Indications for Artists\, and go deeper into these colour indications by taking up the nine training sketches as a starting point for a renewed art of painting.  \nWho is it for? \nArt students\, Teachers\, Therapists\, Artists and anyone interested in Art and especially Rudolf Steiner’s impulse in Art. It is recommended\, but not necessary\, to have taken the previous course and beginners are welcome. Six\, one-and-a-half-hour sessions will include illustrated lectures\, demonstrations\, studio art sittings and question and answer periods. Sessions will occur every other weekend in order that participants may have sufficient time to complete the watercolour painting exercises. \nCosts \nRegular course: Rs 7680 = USD $120\nCertificate Course: Rs 25\,900 = USD$350 \nRegistration details  \nRegister here! \nFor more information \nYou can find more information about this series of painting classes here \n  \n  \n  \n\n“If we were to speak more deeply of painting\, the significance of the connection between the inner soul-life of the universe and colour would reveal itself. It would be meaningless ever to paint with colours\, if colours were not something very different from what they appear to be to outer physical perception… Colour is the language of nature’s soul\, the speech of the soul of the universe.” \nRudolf Steiner

SUMMARY:Adam and Eve Breakfast & The Oberufer Paradise Play 
DESCRIPTION: … Like to a God he is become\,  \nKnowledge he has of evil and good\,  \nHe can lift up his hand on high\,  \nWhereby he liveth eternally.  \n  \nThe Oberufer Paradise Play portrays creation and ‘the fall’ together with the spiritual forces that lie behind the events we see acted out on the stage.

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.

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

SUMMARY:Working with Steiner’s Nine Training Sketches for Painters
DESCRIPTION:  \nA masterclass studio with artist Fiona Campbell\nThe Nine Training Sketches motifs were given to the painters as a new impulse for understanding both Art and Nature\, to help the artist explore objective spiritual laws. 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

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. She has an interdisciplinary PhD on creativity and cognition. \nIn this course Fiona is presenting one of her special interests\, the nature of human consciousness\, a topic she has lectured on for 25 years.

SUMMARY:How does Earth Move ... and Human Beings along with Her?
DESCRIPTION: \nA presentation by Brian Keats\n\n\nJourney Outline\n\n\n\nIn this age we are conditioned to think that our existence began with a Big Bang\, that the Earth is a mere speck of dust in the universe and it moves in an ellipse around the Sun. Furthermore we constantly hear that the Earth would be better off without humans living on it. It is self evident that we are on the verge of destroying it – even without the wars taking place. \n\n\n\n\nBut is there another picture of our journey with the Earth that is not hopeless and soul destroying? \nIn the context of world history there is a deep and profound scenario that can be recognised\, that can empower us to consciously meet the ever evolving future! \nThe presentation starts with a prehistory context going back to the time of the Great Flood and the powerful\, mysterious and seemingly mythical Krsna. Time passes by through Manus (also known as Noah)\, Vishvakarman and Zorathustra. Recorded history brings us people like Moses and others like Gautama Budha. Consciousness is changing all the while and so is our relationship to the world around us\, the sky above and our emerging selfhood. In the Greek era we have the birth of logic amongst the leaders of humanity. Models of the sky movements started to be thought out\, models created. Then the great moment came when an “I” consciousness\, individuated consciousness\, becomes possible for all of humanity. Ptolemy came up with an Earth centred model of our solar system. This is the first model we will look at in detail to uncover the extraordinary wisdom in it. \n\n\n\n\nThe solar system models of genius astronomers evolve expansively over the centuries but there is a consistent thread weaving through many of them. \nWe will trace the thread to get a better grasp and expand our ability to visualise and appreciate how we moving through space today … and sense into the emerging future … and how these movements are intimately related to you and I? \nCost \n$80 for both days \nDates \n27 March\, 3 April 10.00-4.00pm AEST \nVenue \n\n\n\nShepherds Ground 15 Green Wattle Creek Rd.\, Butterwick 2321 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere will be a limit of 10 persons and a commitment is needed to attend both days for the full session. \nThere will be an optional 3rd day to deepen the experience by doing geometric drawings related to exploring the nature and lawfulnesses of infinity. \nNo prior learning is necessary. \n\n\n\nFor more information \nPlease book here or contact Simon Brownbridge 0439 709 296 for more information. \nDownload the flyer here.  \n\n  \n\nPhoto credit: artwork courtesy of Sophia Montifiore

SUMMARY:What is lazure? And what is its purpose?
DESCRIPTION: \nA painting workshop with artist Fiona Campbell \nin conjunction with the Canberra Christian Community\n\n\n\n\nAs part of the current chapel upgrade\, the new altar wall will be lazured\, creating a pure experience of colour\, as though one could ‘spiritually pass through’ the walls. Dr Fiona Campbell will be undertaking this process. \n\n\n\n\nTo give the members of the community a sense of what lazure painting involves and why we use it in chapels and other anthroposophic institutions\, Fiona is offering an afternoon practice-based workshop after the service on 27 March. \nCome for the Act of Consecration at 10am\, then stay for a shared lunch and workshop. Fiona will introduce the lazure philosophy and process\, then you will have the opportunity to paint a portable wall yourself. \n\n\n\n\n\nTime/Day \nSunday 27 March 11.30am to 4.00pm AEDT.\nBoth the service and workshop will be at Harmony Centre\, 11 Beresford St\, Mittagong NSW 2575. \nCost \n$50 with materials provided. Please bring soup and/or bread for lunch to share. \nFor more information \nDownload the workshop flyer.\nTo register or for more information\, contact Fiona Campbell  or Rev. Ioanna Panagiotopoulus

SUMMARY:Inner Transformation through Art: Geometric Drawing
DESCRIPTION:Online class with artist and author Van James\n  \nGeometry \n\n\n\n\nThis course will trace the development of Geometric Drawing through the Steiner-Waldorf school curriculum from the early grades with freehand geometry\, as practiced in Form Drawing\, to the middle school use of instrument-aided constructions. We will touch Geometric Drawing’s relationship to Perspective Drawing and how both prepare for Projective Geometry in high school. We will proceed slowly in order to see how Geometric Drawing is a balancing activity that engages thinking\, feeling and volition\, focusing these soul forces and centring one’s being.  \n\nThis course is specifically directed towards Steiner school teachers and teaching specialists\, lower and upper school. \nFor more information \nClick here to register or contact Van James \n\n\n\n
