SUMMARY:In the Hut of a Thousand Suns
DESCRIPTION:  \nExploring the Nature Of ‘Evil’ Through Folktales\, Storytelling\, Creative Activities & Deep Conversation\n  \nWe’ve never lived in a more profound paradox: our destruction of the Earth and ourselves through climate collapse\, the escalation of A.I.\, the increasing loss of human rights\, while simultaneously facing unprecedented opportunities to develop our consciousness\, understanding of interconnectedness\, and ethical individuality. \n\nParadox is ripe with possibilities; folktales are riddled with paradox\, refuse ‘standard rules of behaviour’ and put forward dilemma\, questions\, and contradictions. They force us to develop moral-ethical imagination\, our ability to think in new\, unexpected ways\, see parallels and relationships which hadn’t existed before\, and become at least dimly aware of the complexity of our inner-selves (Spaulding).\n\nStorytelling has always been something we share\, and folktales are part of our human biology. When we hear a story\, as a couple\, family\, or community\, our brains harmonise. Through creative images and inspiration provided by stories\, we get inside ideas together – like an orchestra\, synchronising individual skills and instruments to interpret the idea of the symphony to create music in which everyone a has a part. Folktales offer innovative strategies for survival\, that aren’t unrealistic dreams\, but observations and aspirations for the world we live in. And our insistence on belonging\, community\, and human connection is one of the greatest acts of courage and resistance in the face of oppression (O’Donohue).\n\nWhat can you expect from this seminar? Storytelling that initiates both community and individuality. Folktales that reveal how and why loneliness and isolation attract Evil\, why unused creative power\, transgression and disrespect lack awareness and carry the potential of self-destruction. You’ll experience the power of Story and storytelling\, gain an understanding of the importance of opening and closing story-space\, access tools that craft the telling of tales and build valuable insight into the theme and the Fifth Secret (Steiner): Evil exists so we wake up\, transform it and move toward Spirit-soul-consciousness. \nHow much does it cost?  \nStandard $350\nEarly Bird Singles $290\nCouples p.p. $250\nTeams [p.p.] $225 \nWhen is it on? \n12/13 November; 19/20 November  \nVenues \nLaunceston Venue: Tamar Valley Steiner Early Childhood 41 French Str\, Launceston \nHobart (Huntingfield) Venue: Tarremah Steiner School\, ‘Silvereye Room’\, 27 Nautilus Grove\, Huntingfield 7055\n \nBookings \nBook here! \n  \nFor more information \nContact Iris Curteis  mob: 0487 719 476 \nAbout Iris Curteis \nI am a Storyteller and Social Artist; I encountered Anthroposophy as an 18-year-old\, and met wonderful\, inspiring teachers in Europe and Australia. My background includes studies in visual art\, storytelling\, speech formation\, and dramatic art (Europe)\, B.A. and B.A. hon. in creative writing\, and a Ph.D. on storytelling and community building (Australia). This workshop is ‘experiential’\, interactive and practical. It offers space for deep conversations about how and why storytelling empowers our imagination\, and the many ways creativity and creative thinking encourage us to appreciate our lives as works of art.

SUMMARY:What is Phenomenology?
DESCRIPTION:  \nStream of Life Research Studio presents \na webinar\, a dialogue\, a sharing and questioning session \n  \nPhenomenology is a way of seeing the world \nPhenomenology is the study of the lived experience as it was/is lived \nPhenomenology a means of investigation which permits us to grow beyond ourselves \nGoethean Science is phenomenological in approach\, and is well known in anthroposophical circles as a qualitative approach to understanding the natural sciences. But phenomenology as a methodology for wider anthroposophic-based application is becoming increasingly popular in our circles; and the term ‘lived experience’ has gone into the our everyday language.  \nBut it can be confusing! Everyone has a different understanding of just what phenomenology is and how to apply it. \nTell me more \nThis webinar aims to unpack phenomenology as a philosophy\, as a research methodology\, and as a practice from the perspective of different researchers and practitioners from different fields and disciplines who use this approach in their work. \nThe session takes the form of presentations and dialogue as to our shared understandings of what we each mean by phenomenology. And if you are not a practitioner but would like to know more\, come along and ask questions. We’d love to share our passion with you! \nWho is it for?  \nAny one interested in finding out more about phenomenology. All welcome! \nProgram  \nWe open with the questions: What counts as phenomenology? What is the essence of phenomenology\, for all forms and approaches?  \nSeven researchers and practitioners share their experiences: Martin Samson (theology)\, Fiona Campbell (human sciences)\, Joanna Jaaniste (dramatherapy)\, Peter Stewart (Goethean Science)\, Greg Burgess (architecture)\, Lisa Devine (theology) and Teresa Carapeto (Education).  \nEach presenter describes their understanding through the lens of these four key characteristics: \n\nAn open attitude: how do I see with “new eyes”?  \nDwelling: how do I immerse myself into the object\, how do I engage with the experience\, the information?\nDisclosure: how can I reveal the essence of the phenomenon in question?\nDescription: sharing my experiences of working phenomenologically. How do I do this? \n\nQ&A session followed by a summing up of what we’ve learned. \nHow does it impact my professional practice? My way of seeing the world? \nSo what is phenomenology? and can anyone practice it? \nAnd is there interest for further discussion in an ongoing group? \nWhen will this webinar take place?  \n7pm Wednesday 16th November 2022 online \nCost \nBy donation  \nRegistration \nTo register \nHow to join the webinar \nAfter registration\, participants will be sent the Zoom link by email two (2) days beforehand\, and then again one (1) hour beforehand. \nPlease login for the webinar via your Zoom app and not via Eventbrite. \nFor more information \nPlease contact Fiona Campbell or Martin Samson

SUMMARY:Driven by the Spirit into the Desert
DESCRIPTION:  \nA webinar with Rev. Patrick Kennedy \nin the Shining a Light into the Darkness Zoom Series\n  \n  \n \nOur spiritual evolution does not take place separate from what is happening in the world. What used to take place in the hidden places of mystery schooling in the world is now a factor within history: The school of our becoming is life itself. In this presentation we will pick up the key elements that Rudolf Steiner names in his lecture from July 30th of 1918 and with them see better into the nature of what is happening in our time. What is revealed places us within powerful cultural streams of the present time – “Americanism\, Bolshevism and Jesuitism” – and reveals the profound challenge we are called to face in establishing the truly a human – and a truly human culture – within this context. It is a societal level expression of what is revealed as a mystery image at the opening of the ancient gospel texts: the temptation of Jesus in the desert. \n  \n  \nWhen \nSunday\, November 20 at 3:00 PM EST/Monday November 21 at 6.00am AEDT \nBackground Reading \nProblems of the Time\, 30 July 1918\, Berlin \nRegistration \nRegister here! \nRecordings of the webinars are not guaranteed. All efforts will be made to do so but please do not count on it. If you are unable to join the live webinar\, please do not register but rather check back in a few weeks after the webinar. Successful recordings will be listed for sale here. \nProceeds will benefit the Seminary of the Christian Community in North America \n  \nAbout Rev. Patrick Kennedy \nIn April of 2006\, Patrick Kennedy was consecrated into the priesthood in Chicago\, Illinois. Prior to attending the seminary in Stuttgart\, Germany\, Patrick studied and worked in the field of early childhood education and received his bachelor’s degree from the University of California\, Santa Cruz in cultural anthropology. He has worked as a priest in the congregations in Devon\, Pennsylvania and the Greater Washington\, D.C.\, area. Then\, in Chestnut Ridge\, New York\, he took up the roles of both seminary director and resident priest in the local congregation. In July 2019\, Patrick\, his family\, and the entire seminary moved to the Toronto area. \n  \nThis series is hosted by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Branch \nof the Anthroposophical Society in America \n  \nImage credit: Temptations of Christ\, 12th-century mosaic in St Mark’s Basilica\, Venice

SUMMARY:Three-folding – Spiritual Freedom\, Social Equality Associative Economics
DESCRIPTION: \nThis is an interactive seminar in which each day is carefully structured around storytelling\, collaborative activities\, and creative presentations combined with deep conversation \nTell me more \nThis Threefolding seminar is an opportunity to explore\, re-view and question how human nature might be shaped by a viable\, healthy social organism through the right relationship of our cultural\, political and economic life. Central to this picture is an acknowledgement that any integrated system of social life must also foster the development of individual potential to the fullest degree compatible with the freedom and well-being of others. \nAldous Huxley wrote in 1946 that ‘the outcome of centralisation of economic and political power is the progressive loss by the masses of their civil liberties\, their personal independence and their opportunities for self-government’. This is more and more a feature of contemporary life where big tech\, big Pharma\, big banks and pervasive mass media dictate our reality.  \nSo how might we co-exist in ways that extend and illuminate our highest good amidst social arrangements that enable us to have the right thoughts on matters of social concern? And if so\, what kind of thoughts must exist so that the right social arrangements can arise? \nWhen is it on? \n9:00 – 4:00 AEDT\, 26/27 November 2022. \nVenues \n177 Waterworks Rd\, Dynnyrne \nBookings and Costs \nBook here! \n  \nFor more information \nContact Iris Curteis  mob: 0487 719 476 or download the flyer \n

SUMMARY:The IAO Motif and the Foundation Stone Meditation
DESCRIPTION:The IAO:  the Cosmic Image of the Human Being\nand the Foundation Stone Meditation\nThe final webinar of 3 practice-based workshops exploring key challenges of 5th epoch\, 6th epoch \nand our cosmic future as represented in the ceiling motifs of the first Goetheanum \n  \nPresenter: Fiona Campbell  \nThis is the 3rd and final webinar in the The Great Luciferic/Ahrimanic face-off exploring the ceiling motifs of the first Goetheanum\, as a transformative picture of the spiritual history of humanity. They raise questions about their relevance to today and how they could guide our future development. Each motif embodies a soul stage of human development as we traverse our starry and earthly path as individuals and as humanity as a whole. \nTell me more \nThe tragedy of dualism in our souls\, and how it manifests has been the leitmotif of this series. In this final workshop\, we contemplate how the path from the IOA as cosmic word resounding from the beginning of time to the IAO\, the cosmic image of the human being\, is a picture and a guide as to how to grapple with our innately dualistic natures. \nIn this presentation\, we explore these theme through discussion\, contemplation and a little sketching of the motif.  \nWho are the webinars for? \nFor anyone interested in Steiner’s approach to the spiritual evolution of humanity. \nBut you don’t have to have attended previous webinars to enjoy the presentation and discussion.  \nWhen is it on? \nSaturday afternoon 4.00-5.30pm AEDT\nWebinar workshops:  26 November \nEach session will be recorded and a video of the event will be available post-webinar.\nA list of suggested drawing materials and background readings is also included in the cost.  \nHow much does it cost?  \nOnline series:  $35  | Concessions available on request – please contact Fiona.\nVideo recording included in the cost \nWhere do I book?  \nBook here! \nAfter booking\, I will send you a confirmation email containing the zoom link to join the meeting.  \nThen download the payment details and materials list.  \nFor more information \nPlease contact Fiona Campbell  \n  \nBackground reading \nThe Foundation Stone Meditation GA 260 \nBackground notes \nAbout the first Goetheanum \n2022 marks the centenary of the burning of the first Goetheanum on New Year’s Eve in 1922/23. As part of the 100th anniversary of the fire\, artists and members of the Anthroposophical Society around the world have been working with the forms and motifs of the 1st Goetheanum. These three webinars are part of this world-wide activity. \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 1st Goetheanum and 7 Sketches for the small cupola. These motifs map the spiritual history of humanity and were intended to support a training in karmic vision through Art. \n. \nPhoto credits: from The Language of Color in the First Goetheanum by Hilde Raske  \n  \n\n‘In the beginning was the Word’ \n“Let us make human beings in our image\, to be like us’

She studied visual arts\, dramatic arts [speech formation] in Stuttgart; a BA & BA Hon. in Creative Writing (SCU; UNE)\, and explored Storytelling and Community Building in her PhD thesis [SCU]. Working as a storyteller for several decades has convinced her that storytelling empowers our imagination and creative thinking and encourages us to appreciate our lives as works of art. As a social artist\, she is passionate about using art\, threefolding and creativity to examine and change the way we think\, build our capacity to shape more humane communities and support transformational change. She has explored the power of the human voice and the possibility to use the creative spoken word\, sounds and storytelling to support those who are approaching death; to overcome a sense of overwhelm and loneliness. Storytelling takes us into a liminal space – a crossing of thresholds – that can support us to gently and consciously enter a different state of being.  \nIrmhild Kleinhenz\, Anthroposophic Naturopath and Mentor\, ISAM\, ANTA accredited fellow. \nIrmhild has over forty years of experience in Anthroposophic medical therapeutic work.

SUMMARY:Attending the Fire: A Global Online Event on New Year's Day
DESCRIPTION:Attending the Fire: An Invitation for Collective Intention\n  \nHosted by the Anthroposophical Society in America\nFoundation Stone Meditation on New Year’s Eve: A Speaking Together \n  \n\n\n\n\n100 years ago on this New Year’s Eve night\, the first Goetheanum burned to the ground\, marking a painful transition moment for the anthroposophical movement. \nLooking ahead to New Year’s Eve 2022-2023\, we remember in our hearts a significant moment one hundred years ago; the burning of the first Goetheanum. \nBecause we cannot all physically gather together in honour of this time\, we can find creative ways to deepen our individual and collective intention.  \nThe Anthroposophical Society in America (ASA)  wishes to offer you resources and practices that can serve to unite us\, from far and wide\, as a community.  \nWe invite you to join us on Zoom at that time\, to meet with other anthroposophical friends and groups from all over the world for a speaking of the Foundation Stone Meditation. \nAt 11:45 p.m. Central European Time 31 December 2022 \nFor Australian participants \nAt 9.45 a.m. AEDT 1 January 2023 \n\n\n\n\nZoom link to the event \nDownload this flyer to find the Zoom link for the event on page 3 or page 5\, page 8 for the text of the meditation.  \n  \nVideo Resources for preparation  \nWorking with Steiner’s epoch motifs – Webinar 1\, The Creation with Fiona Campbell\, a experiential workshop \n\n\n\nFirst Goetheanum with Esther Gerster & Daniel Hafner \n\n\n\nMore New Year’s Eve Resource Packet Here \nFor more information \nPlease look here for more information about this event.  \n  \n  \nIt is our great task this day to observe how in the world around us it is New Year’s Eve — all is passing and disappearing and dying away; but how in the hearts of human beings who are conscious of their real humanity\, of their divine humanity\, there must be the mood of New Year\, the mood of the beginning of a new era\,\nof the uprising of new life.  \n\nRudolf Steiner’s final words in the First Goetheanum\,\nDecember 31\, 1922 \n\nFeature photo: Goetheanum poster\, courtesy ASA

SUMMARY:Complementaries and Counter Images: Working with Steiner's How to Know Higher Worlds through Art
DESCRIPTION:A masterclass studio\nwith Fiona Campbell\n\n  \n\n  \nImaginative exercises based on meditative exercises given by Steiner in How to Know Higher Worlds using colour\, archetypal processes\, observation and contemplation \nThis 7-session course provides an artistic entry into his preparatory exercises of inner and outer observation\, contemplation and moral development. It aims to nourishes creativity and feeds the soul life.  \nThrough exploration of the complementaries and counter-colours\, we can strengthen both our imaginative faculties and our life forces.  \nYou don’t have to be a trained artist\, or even very experienced\, to enjoy this course\, but you do need self-motivation\, some knowledge of Steiner’s meditative and colour work and some painting technique.  \nBackground information \nWith the increasing\, encroaching advent of AI-generated images filling our screens\, through film\, tv and internet\, the essential creativity that lives in the soul of every human being is under threat. AI-generated art is not creative. It does not arise out of human creativity but out of machines. In the face of this attack on our human-ness\, we need to bring a counter-impulse by strengthening our capacity to create inner images. \nBy working artistically and contemplatively with colour and the forming forces\, we can nurture the emergent qualities of our humanity\, such as our uniquely human capacities to create and to think and to think creatively\, We can counter this dehumanising force\,  \nWe need to  enliven our inner images to counter the life-destroying images of AI-generated art. \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 seeking a non-intellectual pathway into Steiner’s meditative path.\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 will work on their own between the fortnightly sessions.  \nRequired: familiarity with the anthroposophic approach to art and painting skills. Watercolour wet-on-dry skills is preferred but other techniques\, such as wet-on-wet or chalk pastels are acceptable 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 in painting unless you are adventurous and self-motivated! \nWhat dates are the classes? \n2-4pm AEDT Friday afternoons \n10 February-19 May \nThe workshops are recorded but live participation is preferred\, unless your time zone makes this impossible.  \nHow much does it cost? \nOnline series:  $260 for 7×2 hr masterclasses\, including video recording. \nHow do I register? \nRegistrations closed. Come back next year! \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  \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 and is creative consultant for the multimedia Parsifal Project. \nFiona has been involved with Anthroposophy for over 40 years and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience about the core principles and practice of Steiner’s work to her classes.

SUMMARY:What is Phenomenology? Further investigations
DESCRIPTION:  \nStream of Life Research Studio presents \nFurther investigations into the nature and practice of phenomenology \n  \nThis webinar is the 2nd in our series and a follow-up to our first dialogue (16 November 2022). You are invited to join us again! \nThe aim of these webinars is to provide an interdisciplinary view of how different fields/disciplines understand phenomenology\, whose approach they use e.g. Goethean\, Heidegger\, Merleau-Ponty\, Zajonc  etc. and how they implement their approach in their professional practice.  \nTell me more about phenomenology \nPhenomenology is essentially the study of the structures of consciousness\, though it is better known as the study of the lived experience. It concerns how a phenomenon is experienced\, as it is experienced\, and aims to describe those experiences\, rather than theorise or explain them. Moreover\, in studying the experience\, phenomenology opens the way to understanding our consciousness of that experience.  In turn\, this can change our way of seeing the world (Campbell 2018*). \nGoethean Science is phenomenological in approach\, and is well known in anthroposophical circles as a qualitative approach to the natural sciences. But phenomenology as a methodology for wider anthroposophic-based application is becoming increasingly popular in our circles in the sphere of the arts and human sciences.  \nPhenomenology can be a philosophy\, a research methodology\, or a practice  – or all three. It can take different forms in different fields and even within the same field/discipline\, depending on whose philosophical  foundations you are applying.  \nSounds complex but fascinating? Then come along and find out more.  \nProgram  \nThree researcher/practitioners share their experiences: Joanna Jaaniste (Dramatherapy)\, Bronwen Haralambous (Education) and Lisa Devine (Counselling and Theology) \nEach presenter describes their understanding through the lens of these four key characteristics and how it impacts their professional practice or way of seeing the world through the lens of these four questions: \n\nAn open attitude: how do I see with “new eyes”?  \nDwelling: how do I immerse myself into the object\, how do I engage with the experience\, the information?\nDisclosure: how can I reveal the essence of the phenomenon in question?\nDescription: sharing my experiences of working phenomenologically. How do I do this? \n\nA short introduction to some common tools/methods used in phenomenological research will be overviewed. \nQ&A session to follow \nWhen will this webinar take place?  \n6.30 pm AEDT/5.30 pm AEST Wednesday 15th February 2023 online.  \nPlease note: the webinar is not being recorded. \nCost \n$20 donation or whatever you can afford to support us. \nRegistration \nTo register \nHow to join the webinar \nAfter registration\, participants will be sent the Zoom link by email two (2) days beforehand\, and then again one (1) hour beforehand. \nPlease login for the webinar via your Zoom app and not via Eventbrite. \nFor more information \nPlease contact Fiona Campbell or Martin Samson \n  \n*Fiona Campbell (2018)\, ‘Flow\, resistance and thinking : a phenomenological study of creativity‘ Doctoral thesis\, UTS Digital Thesis Collection.

SUMMARY:Form Drawing for Teachers
DESCRIPTION:The How\, the Why\, and the When of \na Linear Language of Form in Education\n  \nOnline workshops with Van James\, artist\, author\, educator based in Hawaii\, USA \nAbout the workshops \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the underlying importances of Form Drawing?\nHow does it benefit the growing child? \nWhy is it taught in Steiner-Waldorf schools and when (at what grade levels) is it appropriate and most beneficial?\n\nWe will address these questions and many more in this practical online art course for teaching children the creative art of form drawing.  \nWho are the workshops for?  \nFor class teachers\, homeschool parents\, art instructors\, art therapists and educational specialists.  \nNo experience necessary. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDates \n\n\n\nIn Asia: Sundays February 19 and 26 & March 5 and 12 2023\, \n9:30 AM – 11:30 AM (Indian Standard Time) \nIn USA:  Saturdays February 18 and 25 & March 4 and 11\, 2023\, \n\n\n\nCost \nRs.6995 = $105 USD \nRegistration \nPlease look here for more details.  \nFor more information \nPlease contact Van James at the Nurturer’s Studio  \n  \nAbout Van James \nVan James is an artist\, author\, Steiner-Waldorf educator and international advocate for the arts. A longtime teaching-artist in Hawai’i and a mentor for Gradalis Teacher Education. Van is a council member of the Visual Art Section of North America\, a mentor with the Academy of Himalayan Art and Child Development\, editor of Pacifica Journal\, and an award-winning author of numerous books on culture and the arts including Drawing with Hand\, Head and Heart\, The Secret Language of Form: Visual Meaning in Art and Nature and the recently published Teaching Art History: Engaging Adolescents in Art\, Cultural History and the Evolution of Consciousness. \nFind out more about Van James here or Click here for Van’s YouTube Channel  on painting \n  \n  \n\n“We must begin with inner\, not outer perception\, by stimulating in the child a strong sense of symmetry. Even in the case of the very youngest children we can begin to do this. For example: we draw some figure on the blackboard and indicate the beginning of a symmetrical line.Then we try to make the child realise that the figure is not complete; they must find out how to complete it. In this way\, we awaken an inner\, active urge in the child to complete something as yet unfinished.This helps them to express an absolutely right conception of something that is a reality. The teacher\, of course\, must have inventive talent but that is always a very good thing. Above all else the teacher must have mobile inventive thought.” \n\nIn A Modern Art of Education by Rudolf Steiner  \n

SUMMARY:The Threshold
DESCRIPTION:An artist’s musings on ageing and the end of life\, from the point of view of women\nby Judith Clingan AM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThere will be three performances: 4pm and 8pm Saturday 4 March and 11am Sunday 5 March. Admission is ticketed: $40 full\, $30 concession\, available online from mid-February. \n\n\n\n\nBackground Notes \nJudith (Judy) Clingan is a composer\, writer\, artist\, educator and multi arts director/creator. Since early 2021 she has been interviewing many women aged 70 and older\, and asking them to write thoughts on a range of issues related to the ageing process\, as well as our varying attitudes to the end of life. Their answers have helped her greatly in writing a script\, entitled The Threshold. She has also composed fourteen short pieces of music (for choir\, strings\, wind and piano\, as well as bells and singing bowls). She is now (in December) painting a series of visual images to amplify the shifting moods. The ambience Judy is aiming for is a subtle mix of humour\, grief and transcendence. \nThree performances are planned for March 2023 in the Chapel of the ACC&C – creating an intimate café atmosphere\, with the audience invited to take a cup of tea to one of multiple small tables\, while the three actors (all ageing women) will speak from small stages interspersed among the tables. Musicians will sing and play from a corner; individual musicians will occasionally interact with the actresses. The main wall of the chapel will be used from time to time for projections of words\, especially when they are perhaps difficult to hear well in choral rendition\, as well as the painted images. The text will vary between intimate dialogue and the delivery of poems\, both whimsical and heart- wrenching. The dialogue and some of the poetry is Judy’s; some is from the classical canon of great English writers; some she has invited from women poets both in Australia and elsewhere. While of course it is impossible to write a piece which will speak equally meaningful to every member of the audience\, she is trying to touch on a wide range of experiences\, practices and beliefs. Judy has so far held seven script-reading sessions with older women in and beyond Canberra\, which have sometimes led to emendations. \nJudy says: “I have been very interested to discover\, across the twenty months I have so far spent on this project\, that while some women are unwilling to explore their thoughts on the topic of ageing and death\, others are delighted to be given the opportunity. Maybe death is our last great taboo. At least\, those of us living an affluent\, western lifestyle very rarely experience the raw reality of death\, and very rarely live day by day alongside a person dying slowly. I expect that in those societies where multi-generational families exist together in the one home\, the realities of ageing and thoughts about the end are experienced daily. In our society older people are usually sequestered away\, out of sight even of their families for most of the time. Certainly it isn’t often that our artists dare to think about the void – or perhaps the unknown something – which awaits us all. I hope that The Threshold might be a step towards a more vigorous exploration of this topic.” \n\n\n\n\nWhen? \nSaturday 4 March2023 at 4:00 pm and 8pm\nSunday 5 March at 11am \nWhere? \nChapel at the Australian Centre for Christianity & Culture\, Charles Sturt University\n15 Blackall Street\, Barton\, ACT 2600 \nBookings \nBook here \nFor more information \nPlease contact Judith Clingan

SUMMARY:Meeting Christ in the Etheric in Response to the Challenges of our Times
DESCRIPTION:A Webinar with James Dyson\, MD \nPart of the “Shining a Light into the Darkness” series.\nWhat is it about?  \nHuman consciousness has slowly come from the cosmos to the earth via the ethers & the elements which have mediated the Logos into the earth to create the human being as an image of the Divine.  That creative process\, working from Logos into the human body\, came to its culmination around the time of the Mystery of Golgotha. Before that\, human initiation had to be a journey backward to reconnect to the elements and their etheric connections that bridged to the Spirit. All earlier initiation was to bring the earthly ego from the 4fold nature of the elements\, and awakening the ego into the etheric world and the spirits beyond. \nThis process became ever more difficult as time proceeded. This separation (as expressed in “The stars once spoke to man…”) through the ethers and elements\, by the time of Golgotha had grown silent and led to the widespread desecration of soul which Jesus of Nazareth had to encounter. \nHumanity\, as it has crossed into 21st century\, is now walking the path that Jesus of Nazareth walked in his 20s when he was meeting the deserted altars. We are meeting the destitution of the soul\, the denial of the Logos\, meaninglessness: the power of the Logos no longer reflected in the environment around us. \nHow do human beings find their way to speaking the Logos back to the stars?  Christ’s penetration of the body of the earth\, bringing His being now closer to humans in the etheric realm\, can manifest in many ways but\, archetypally\, in the meeting of one human being with another.  We meet the etheric world through the human encounter – where ‘conversation is more precious than the light\, and the light is more precious than gold.’  Through human encounter\, human communication\, we can meet Christ’s etheric body. Through human connection we regain connection to the Logos. \nWhen \nMonday\, 27 March 2023 at 7.00am AEDT \nRegistration \nRegister here \n  \nAbout James Dyson \n James Dyson\, M.D. was a co-founder of one of the few English speaking anthroposophical medical clinics\, Park Attwood\, in the UK where he worked from 1979 to 2003. He has practiced as a doctor in Steiner Waldorf Schools and in centers for social therapy. His areas of special interest are developmental psychology and adult mental health\, and he is a regular contributor to anthroposophic therapeutic trainings in the UK and internationally. James has added Psychosynthesis to his training and is a prolific lecturer of Rudolf Steiner’s body of work in the healing fields.

SUMMARY:What is Phenomenology?And how do I begin?
DESCRIPTION:Stream of Life Research Studio presents \nA webinar on how to practice phenomenology in the workplace \n  \nThis webinar is the 3rd in our series and a follow-up to our first two dialogues (16 November 2022 and 15 February 2023). You are invited to join us again! \nThis series of webinars aims is to provide an interdisciplinary view of how different professions understand and implement phenomenology\, including how this form of research supports professional practice. Through sharing our collective experience of working phenomenologically\, we address the questions: what is phenomenology? and how do I practice it? \nAre you interested in learning how to work phenomenologically?  \nIn our first two webinars\, we have heard from a range of practitioners and researchers how they approach phenomenology in their professional practice and some techniques they use. Now\, in this third and final webinar\, we introduce how to begin working phenomenologically yourself.  \nProgram \nFirstly\, Robin Steele will be presenting her hermeneutic research into therapeutic change through psychophonetics. \nThen\, an open discussion on how to take the first steps in developing a phenomenological method for researching spiritual science. \nParticipants are invited to submit their questions in advance to the organisers to help facilitate the discussion. \nFor both parts of the program\, we will be using this framework: \n\nAn open attitude: how do I see with “new eyes”?  \nDwelling: how do I immerse myself into the object\, how do I engage with the experience\, the information?\nDisclosure: how can I reveal the essence of the phenomenon in question?\nDescription: sharing my experiences of working phenomenologically. How do I do this? \n\nA practice-based workshop is planned for 13 May in Sydney and potentially early Spring -TBA \nWhen will this webinar take place?  \n6.30 pm AEDT/5.30 pm AEST Wednesday 29th March 2023 online.  \nCost \n$20 donation or whatever you can afford to support us. \nRegistration \nTo register \nHow to join the webinar \nAfter registration\, participants will be sent the Zoom link by email two (2) days beforehand\, and then again one (1) hour beforehand. \nPlease login for the webinar via your Zoom app and not via Eventbrite. \nFor more information \nPlease contact Fiona Campbell or Martin Samson \n  \n\nPhenomenology is essentially the study of the structures of consciousness\, though it is better known as the study of the lived experience. \n \nIt concerns how a phenomenon is experienced\, as it is experienced\, and aims to describe those experiences\, rather than theorise or explain them. Moreover\, in studying the experience\, phenomenology opens the way to understanding our consciousness of that experience. In turn\, this can change our way of seeing the world (Campbell 2018*). \n\n  \n*Fiona Campbell (2018)\, ‘Flow\, resistance and thinking : a phenomenological study of creativity‘ Doctoral thesis\, UTS Digital Thesis Collection.

SUMMARY:Projective Geometry\, The World of Life and The World of Soul
DESCRIPTION: \nA part-time online course facilitated by the Melbourne Rudolf Steiner Seminar\n\n\n\n\nProjective geometry began as an exact science yet its own development has turned even science inside out. Rudolf Steiner saw in this meeting of opposites a new beginning – and called it the polarity of space versus counterspace. It is the interplay of etheric and physical and the forms of the plant-world tell of this mystery. \nThis polar (threefold) relation lives also in the soul’s thinking\, feeling and willing. What does Rudolf Steiner mean by ‘pure thinking’ ? Well\, projective geometry leads us to experiences of that. The new soul condition indicated in Rudolf Steiner’s Philosophy of Freedom is that of the thinking will – yet this is no mere admixture of the two. \nThere is no need to read Philosophy of Freedom before the course\, but participants will need to read at least the short 8th and final chapter – entitled “Practical Conclusion – of the Earlier Work Truth and Science” (GA 3). Super-condensed and real work for the mind\, this elicits an experience\, alive in thought\, of what human freedom means. \n\n\n\n\nDate/time \nDuration: Term 2. Mondays 1 May to 12 June. \nMonday evenings from 7.00 – 9.00pm (Melbourne time) \nCost \nCost: $445 per term \nTo register \nRegister here! \nFor more information \nFor enrolment questions\, please contact Carmen in the office on +03 9876 5199 or email her. \nAbout the tutor \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGordon Woolard is an experienced Steiner teacher and educator from kindergarten to class 12. His trainings include university Physics\, the Foundation and Education years at Emerson College\, the Wynstones Science Teachers’ course\, the Michael Hall Kindergarten training\, Joinery and Cabinet Making\, a post grad teaching diploma for SpLD (Dyslexia) and Audrey McAllen’s Extra Lesson training. Gordon Woolard\, Dip SpLD AMBDA PATOSSMathematical Association \nHe is also an independent specialist teacher and trainer.

SUMMARY:Therapies for Care and Recovery Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A three-day workshop focussed on practical\, effective care and intervention strategies to alleviate symptoms of trauma\, stress and anxiety.\nAcross our New Zealand community\, we are seeing many people affected by trauma\, stress\, and anxiety. In response\, we want to widen the circle of those able to offer supportive nursing therapies that we know provide valuable care and recovery in such experiences in any situation. \nWhether you are a nurse\, therapist or caregiver we invite your registration for this three-day workshop focussed on practical\, effective care and intervention strategies to alleviate symptoms of trauma\, stress and anxiety. \nThis is an opportunity to explore both patterns of physiology and presenting symptoms\, through a lens that includes their weaving between body and spirit. Central to our learning process\, healing plants and external treatments will become familiar to you\, preparing you to assess and safely offer supportive therapies\, based on a sound rationale. \nOur inspiration is Anthroposophic Medicine\, where nursing care and therapies work out of a positive concept of health that recognises a self-regulated equilibrium. Central to this approach is the emphasis on human autonomy along with the vital importance of care and the therapeutic relationship. Within this picture a signature of the anthroposophic nursing pathway is caring that recognises it is our knowing\, our way of being and our way of acting that makes a quintessential difference. \nIn addition to working with a range of external treatments and healing substances\, this workshop introduces biography work\, the inner path of the nurse or therapist and casework to help with individualised support across various situations and settings. \n\nWhen and where \n12 – 14 May 2023\nTaruna College\, \n33 Te Mata Peak Road\nPO Box 8103\nHavelock North\nNew Zealand \nCost\n $550 NZ (includes $100 NZ registration deposit) \nRegister \nRegister here \nNurse Tutors  \nDeborah Bednarek RN MN ANS\nFind out more about Deborah here. \nMichelle Vette RN MN ANS\nFind out more about Michelle here \nFor more information about this workshop \nGet in touch to register your interest via info@taruna.ac.nz \nFor more information about the Anthroposophic Nursing Training \nTaruna College in New Zealand offers the Foundation Course in Anthroposophic Nursing (FCAN).
