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

SUMMARY:Working with Steiner’s Colour lectures: image and lustre colours
DESCRIPTION: \nA masterclass studio with artist Fiona Campbell\nWhen we experience the life of colour\,  \nwe step out of our own skins and take part in cosmic life. \n  \nYou are invited to join artist and researcher Fiona Campbell for an online masterclass (7 sessions) as she explores the nature of the image and lustre colours\, as outlined the first Colour lectures\, given by Rudolf Steiner in Dornach 6 to 8 May 1921 . Paint alongside her and share in her process as she explores the experience of green\, black\, incarnadine and white\, in polarity to the shining soul qualities experienced in blue\, red and yellow. \nIn these lectures\, Steiner indicates how colour can affect our health\, our sense of wellbeing\, and our soul life. Distinguishing between the image and lustre nature of the seven colours form the basis of Steiner’s approach to painting. Here he lays a foundation for a practical technique of working with colour that leads to a new direction in artistic creativity. \nYou don’t have to be a trained artist\, or even very experienced\, to enjoy this course\, but you do need self-motivation and some painting technique.  \nBackground information  \nSteiner had an abiding desire to see a cultural and spiritual renewal emerge in the present time. through the arts. He said: ‘If you realise that art always has a relation to the spirit\, you will understand that both in creating and appreciating it\, art is something through which one enters the spiritual world.’ \nFollowing the success of her first online masterclass on Steiner’s Nine Training Sketches for the Painters\, this course is an essential foundation of any artist interested in the anthroposophic approach to understanding colour. It is also a follow up to answer some of the questions that arose during the first course\, but we welcome newcomers. \nWho are the masterclasses for?  \n\nFor artists\, art therapists and art students looking to find a path of soul/spiritual development through the arts.\nFor anyone interested in gaining an appreciation of art as a revelation of spiritual realities through painting.\n\nTo get the most out of this course\, it is anticipated participants work alongside Fiona in-class and on their own between the fortnightly sessions.  \nRequired: basic 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).  \nPlease note: this is not a step-by-step instructional class so not suitable for beginners unless you are adventurous and self-motivated! \nWhat dates are the classes? \n2-4pm AEST Friday afternoons \n13 May-5 August \nThe masterclasses are recorded but live participation is preferred\, unless your time zone makes this impossible.  \nHow much does it cost? \nOnline series:  $250 for 7×2 hr masterclasses or $42 for individual sessions. \nHow do I register? \nRegister here! \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\n \n  \nAbout Fiona Campbell  \nFiona Campbell is a visual artist\, researcher\, lecturer and arts educator. She has an interdisciplinary PhD on creativity and cognition and has been a professional artist and arts educator for more than 30 years. \nShe is also teaches interdisciplinary research training and consciousness studies. She is a member of the Stream of Life Research Studio\, where her focus is phenomenology and creative cognition. \nYou can find out more about Fiona\, read about her teaching work at Sydney Rudolf Steiner College (where she has regularly taught since 1994) or listen to an ABC Soul Search interview with her about the anthroposophical approach to art. \nYou can view some of her colour studies of image and lustre here.  \n  \n  \n\n‘The laws of art are the hidden laws of the world.’\nWilliam Butler Yeats

SUMMARY:The Parsifal Project: a community arts project
DESCRIPTION: \nThe Parsifal Project\n  \n  \nThe Parsifal Project is a community project that aspires towards a contemporary envisioning of the famous medieval legend\, one that recontextualises the Parsifal legend for a modern multicultural audience.  \nWhat is it about? \nWriters\, poets\, philosophers and artists tell us that myths and legends hold spiritual insights into the sacred wisdom of past cultures\, but what about the spiritual insights we need to navigate our current world? Drawing on the cultural heritages we bring with us\, the Parsifal Project seeks find meaningful resonance between this medieval myth and contemporary intergenerational audiences. \nUsing the talents of a diverse cast and a script written by playwright Peter Oswald\, the project aims to make a significant contribution to our understanding of the Parsifal legend in light of Anthroposophy\, as a cosmopolitan Michaelic impulse and as a metaphor for modern human development. The story is our future; if so\, its mythic themes could be critical to today’s youth\, to all of us.  \nWhether your interest is in the spiritual foundations of the legend\, the literature\, creative writing or performing\, there is something here for anyone and everyone fascinated by the whole collection of Grail legends and its interpretations\, medieval or modern\, book or film. \nTimeline for the project \nThe project has five stages highlighting different arts and media: \n\nJune –  July 2022: Parsifal Unpacked\nCompleted.

SUMMARY:藝術史教學   Teaching Art History
DESCRIPTION:將內在生命融入以藝術、文化 意識與意識演化 \nEngaging the Inner Life with Art\, Cultural \nHistory and the Evolution of Consciousness\n與Van James \nThis online course will present an overview of Art History in eight sessions particularly designed for educators interested in teaching adolescent students. It will include why this subject is important at this age and how it can be presented in a way that engages the young person at a critical time in their inner development. We will explore the History of Art by looking at painting and sculpture from different cultural periods\, its significance for the time and how it expresses the evolving consciousness of its period. We will observe the techniques\, methods and materials and discuss the stories contained in the pictures on many levels.  \nIllustrated lectures\, conversations and questions\, as well as artistic work will provide the pathway for experiencing how art is the family picture album of humanity and an illustrated glimpse into the evolution of consciousness. \nEnglish recording with live Chinese translation \n英語演講並提供中文翻譯回放 \nWhen? \n\n\n\nIn USA (English) \nJuly 10\,17\,31 (Asia) = July 9\,16\,30 (USA) \nAugust 7\,14\,21 (Asia) = August 6\,13\,20 (USA) \nSeptember 4\,18 (Asia) = September 3\,17 (USA) \n7:00 – 9:00 AM (Indian Standard Time) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n (Click here to know your time zone) \n  \n\n\n\nIn Asia (English/Chinese) \nThursdays\, July 14\, 21\, August 4\, 11\, 18\, and Sundays\, Aug. 28\, September 11\, 25\n \n亞洲時間(英語/中文)： \n(週二)七月14日、21日、八月4日\,  11日\, 18日 \n(週日)八月28日、九月11日\, 25日 \n  \n通過精神感知向我揭示的人類進化規律， \n在我的腦海中清晰地呈現在藝術的發展過程中。 \n–魯道夫施泰納，自傳。 \nSponsored by NurturerStudio \n本活動由NurturerStudio贊助 \nContact \nFor more information\, please look here \nor download the flyer: English or Chinese) \n電郵： nurturerstudio@gmail.com \n  \n  \n\n“What had been revealed to me through spiritual perception \n as the law of human evolution appeared in clear  \nmanifestation before my mind in the development of art.” \n– Rudolf Steiner\, Course of My Life

SUMMARY:Save the date!  Envisioning the Future\, Youth Section online 16 July
DESCRIPTION: \nComing together in the spirit of our common work\n16 July 2022 online | 21-25 June 2023 at the Goetheanum \n \nGreetings from the Youth Section at the Goetheanum!\n \nWe are reaching out to you today to invite you to save the date for two special gatherings.\n\nIn preparation for this call\, we would like to ask for your help in shaping the content by sending us any questions relating to the Youth Section’s work that are currently living in your local groups.\n \n\nEnvisioning the Future |  Youth Section Worldwide Call  \nThe first meeting is an online call via Zoom on Saturday 16th of July 2022 from 15:00 – 17:00 CEST. At this meeting\, Constanza Kaliks and Nathaniel Williams together with the Youth Section at the Goetheanum’s team would like to share with you their vision for the Section’s leadership transition period. We hope this will be the first of many moments in which we begin envisioning with you all the foundations of the new period of work that will start in Spring 2023\, when Nathaniel Williams will overtake the leadership of our Section.\n \nSome of the questions we would like to touch upon are:\n\nWhat is the purpose and task of the Youth Section in the context of the Anthroposophical Movement and our present times?\n \nHow can we develop an understanding for our foundations\, which in 2024 will become 100 years old.\n \nAnd how can these inform our future steps? How is the relationship of the Youth Section to the rest of the movement\, for example the School of Spiritual Science and the other Sections\, the General Anthroposophical Society and the local Societies?\n\nAdditionally\, we will also welcome the recently founded Youth Section in Oceania to our Worldwide Network!\n\n\n \nYouth Section Co-Workers Gathering |  June 2023 at the Goetheanum\n\nThe second save the date we would like to share with you is for a Youth Section Co-Workers Gathering at the Goetheanum from 21-25th June 2023. This gathering will be an opportunity for delegates of each local Youth Section to come to the Goetheanum and work with one another for an intensive week. It would be wonderful if you could already save the date and let us know if you would like to attend this and help shape the program. This event is organised in the spirit of out 2019 meeting “Building Bridges Beyond Borders”.\n \nWe hope you are as excited as we are to come together again\, first online and then in person in a year’s time! Please let us know if you will be there.\n  \nWith our best thoughts from the Goetheanum\,\n \nAndrea de la Cruz\, Gaia Termopoli\, Ioana Viscrianu\, Jacinta Gorchs and \nJohannes Kronenberg with Constanza Kaliks\n\n\nYouth Section at the Goetheanum

SUMMARY:Roots & Renewal
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nAn online series marking significant milestones in the 100-year renewal of anthroposophy\n  \nHosted by the Regional Councils of the Anthroposophical Society in America \nJoin the Anthroposophical Society in America (ASA) for a new online series on the 100-year renewal and celebration of anthroposophy.

This session will be enlivened with group eurythmy\, singing\, and break-out sessions. This session will be recorded and emailed after the live presentation.  \nWe will be working with a compilation of Rudolf Steiner’s insights from these lectures:  \n\nWorld History in the Light of Anthroposophy – And as a Foundation for Knowledge of the Human Spirit\,  GA 233: Lecture IV\, 27 December 1923 ~ Lecture V\, 28 December 1923 ~ Lecture VIII\, 31 December 1923\, Dornach  \nThe Easter Festival In Relation to the Mysteries\, GA 233A\, lecture IV. The Mysteries of Ephesus. The Aristotelian Categories\, 22nd April\, 1924\, Dornach. \n\nHow do I register?  \nRegister here! \nSESSION 2: 100 years with the ‘Movement for Religious Renewal’  \n17 September 1922 at 8 am AEST \nA panel of Christian Community Priests from the Regions\, including Rev. Craig Wiggins \nSESSION 3: The Founding of ‘The Esoteric Youth Group’ \nA snapshot into the biographies of the original members of the Circle. From The Esoteric School – Esoteric Lessons 1913-1923\, in the collected works of Rudolf Steiner \nOctober 17\, 2022 at 8 am AEST \nFor more information \nYou can find more information about this series on the ASA website. \n  \n  \n\n‘You know that among the many clichés which became current in the nineteenth century\, it was said that the great pioneer of the nineteenth century closed his life by calling out to posterity: “More light!” As a matter of fact Goethe did not say “More light!” He lay on his couch breathing with difficulty and said: “Open the shutters!” That is the truth. The other is the cliché that has connected itself with it. The words Goethe really spoke are perhaps far more apt than the mere phrase “More light”. The state of things at the end of the nineteenth century does indeed arouse the feeling that our predecessors have closed the shutters. Then came the younger generation; they felt cramped; they felt that the shutters which the older generation had closed so tightly must be opened. Yes\, my dear friends\, I assure you that although I am old\, I shall tell you more of how we can now attempt to open the shutters again.’ \nRudolf Steiner\, GA 217\, THE YOUNGER GENERATION – Lecture 1 – Dornach\, 3 October 1922
