Holy Nights: 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th Dec, 5 – 8pm.
Steiner House, 307 Sussex St Sydney.
For three years now, members have been coming together during the Holy Nights to read a lecture cycle by Rudolf Steiner which has been a wonderfully rich and warm experience. This year we want to follow it up with reading of the lecture lectures that Rudolf Steiner gave 100 years ago during the Holy Night of 1918.
Whether you have joined us before during the Holy Nights reading or not, all are invited who want to be part of this experience.
Copies of the text will be available to use during the event, or you can order your own in advance from the bookshop. Please note this book is now ‘print on demand’ from the publisher.

The Star as a symbol of Love
2018-12-11 19:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Rudolf Steiner House, 307 Sussex Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000
“The pentagram… represents everything which permeates the universe and is centred on the human being. It is the star of humanity. It symbolises the very essence and meaning of earth-existence.” Rudolf Steiner also tells us that “it depicts the streaming currents of energy occurring within our etheric body. In this sense, the pentagram is an etheric reality; not a symbol but a fact”. We will look at this eurythmy meditation and its meaning as the Third Logos. A talk with Jessie Phelps starting a 7pm at Rudolf Steiner House.

Hot spot Syria
2018-12-04 19:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Rudolf Steiner House, 307 Sussex Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000
Because of the one-sided aspect of many media reports on war and the refugee crisis, it is helpful to have a broader picture on the history of this country and humanity. We might discover that it should much more live in our hearts and the problems we see outside (“there”) are a mirror picture of the one’s in our inside (“here”). This might give an understanding on one aspect of the refugee crisis, as well on many shortcomings of modern culture. A talk with Wolfgang Devine starting a 7pm at Rudolf Steiner House.

Looking at biodynamics from the perspective of the medical lectures

In 1924, Rudolf Steiner founded the practice of biodynamic agriculture in only eight rather dense lectures. In this talk we will deepen our understanding of the Agriculture Course by drawing on pictures given in his other works – particularly the image of the plant found in the medical lectures, and see for example, how this can help us approach the two horn preparations.
