SUMMARY:Inscribing Signs with a Finger Dipped in Light...
DESCRIPTION: \n  \nProfessional Education\nTowards A Cultural-Spiritual Approach to Dying and Death\nOur aim is to develop a sincere\, earnest relationship with Death\, an understanding of the individual path of dying\, and the deep reverence and honouring of the actual\, autonomous moment of death. Through Anthroposophy we can discover death is the most sacred moment in our life. Through this course\, we develop with you Spiritual-Cultural approaches and creative processes that encourage you to contemplate dying and death in your own life\, that enable you\, as a Companion\, to use this transformative knowledge and spiritual awareness autonomously and with integrity to support those journeying towards the threshold. We offer: a deep study of anthroposophy\, visual art and sculpture\, music\, eurythmy and creative speech\, poetry\, creative writing\, oral storytelling and folktale research. We all work out of our professional and personal insights and spiritual understanding and invite you to bring your own individual spirituality to the course content. \nThere is a further increasingly urgent concern we address: the way our fear of death and dying has separated us from life imbued with Spirit and pushed us deeper into materialism and consequently\, onto a path of destruction we now know by the term of ‘omnicide’. Our course is shaped by our resolve to find new approaches to dying and death not only for our own sake\, but for the sake of Earth’s healing and health\, the sacred interconnectedness of life\, and the evolution of humanity towards freedom and love. \n\n\n\n\nWho is the course for? \nThis Schooling Course is a spiritual pathway to understand dying\, death and rebirth. It is not a hands-on home care course as we feel these are offered by others with competence and commitment. What we offer is a process of inner development for those of you dedicated to accompanying the dying with your authentic spiritual insights through cultural and creative means. We recommend our Course if you wish to care for family and friends\, your community\, or consciously prepare yourself for death\, are grieving a loved one\, or seeking greater understanding of the journey beyond the threshold. Our Course equally provides personal and professional development if you seek greater emotional intelligence\, self- awareness and lifelong learning in relation to your profession\, for example: counsellors\, health practitioners and therapists\, carers\, social- and support workers\, educators\, and those who wish to care for the newly deceased\, such as funeral personnel and celebrants. \nCourse intention \n\nTo facilitate a process through which participants develop their own healthy and integrated relationship to dying and death\nTo educate and mentor participants who intend to become trusted Companions of the dying\, and accompaniment of those who have crossed the threshold\nTo enable participants to offer\, where appropriate\, artistic and contemplative activity for\, or with\, the dying and their loved-ones as ways to experience threshold crossings\n\n\n\n\n\nFind out more \nIntroductory video to the course \nProspectus \nPlease explore the prospectus and contact us with any questions. A detailed programme will be available ion application. \nPlease direct enrolment inquiries to Iris Curteis \nContact \nIris Curteis 0487 719 476 \n  \n\n\n\n\nFeature Image: courtesy of Iris Curteis \n\n  \n\n\n\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Great Expectations: International 2025 Kolisko conference
DESCRIPTION:Meeting the Challenge of Expectations \nfor Self\, Each Other and of Life\n11-14 April 2025\, Hastings New Zealand \n  \n\n\n\n\nWelcome to Kolisko 2025 \nThis year our conference focuses on the theme of expectations and meeting the expectations we hold\, often unconsciously\, for ourselves\, for each other\, and for life. Our theme for the conference evolved through conversations with parents\, teachers and health professionals around the knotty issues they are facing in their daily work environment \n\n\n\n\n\nOur aim with the conference is to develop new and more comprehensive ways to look at our developing Self\, to better understand the also changing and developing Other\, and to work with the great expectations we carry. \nKolisko conferences began to honour and continue the work of Dr Eugen Kolisko. Dr Kolisko was the first Waldorf school doctor. He worked together with Rudolf Steiner and the first Waldorf school’s teachers to create a school curriculum based in knowledge of the developmental stages of the incarnating child and through this support their individual maturation and longer term health. Dr Kolisko was also instrumental in establishing therapy modalities in art\, including a therapeutic eurythmy curriculum for school children and young people. \nDownload the program and timetable \nWhere \n\nTaikura Rudolf Steiner School\, Hastings\, New Zealand\n\nFee \n\n\n\n\nEarly Bird of NZ $420.00 GST incl.

SUMMARY:Memes That Matter: Conversations That Count
DESCRIPTION:  \nMemes That Matter: Conversations That Count  \nis a social experiment based on two premises: that we know more than we think\, and that visual metaphors can tap into this knowledge. To this end\, I have created a series of memes that comment on current affairs with an eye to their metaphysical meaning. Memes that Matter is an attempt to explore these meanings in fortnightly meet-ups. Each session will explore a socially relevant topic through the lens of a particular meme and will consist of: \n\nIntroduction to the meme and its topic \nConversations in small breakout\nSharing in community\n\nMemes that Matter is a social artwork and operates on a gift basis. It is inspired by Joseph Beuys’ idea of society as an artwork and its conceptual underpinnings: the transpolar politics known as social three-folding\, conceived by Rudolf Steiner. \nOur first topic will deal with: The irony of it all. \nWhen \n\nMeet-ups start on the 06 May 2025 and continue fortnightly ( 20 May\, 3 June\,17 June etc).   \n\n\nTimezones  \n\n\nTimezone A  / Australia (AWST): 7–8 AM\nTimezone B  / Australia (AWST): 6–7 PM\n \n\nThe meet-ups start on Tuesday 06 May 2025. You can join at any time. \nTo register  \nFind out more \nSubscribe to stay in the loop and receive updates (get my latest posts\, including written and visual material as well as selected video clips)\, subscribe!  \nSubscribe  \nHoping to see you soon\, online or otherwise\,  \nHorst

SUMMARY:Working with the Four Elements in Nature: Veil Painting Course
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nThe basis of artistic creation is not what is\,\nbut what might be; not the real\, but the possible. \n\nRudolf Steiner\, in The Aesthetics of Goethe’s Worldview \n  \nThis online course uses the gestures of the material states of solid\, fluid\, gas\, and heat (earth\, water\, air and warmth) to explore the hidden forces of Nature\, and how they reveal themselves through the gestures and patterns through Nature’s imprint on the physical world around and in us. \nWhat will I learn? \nThe course is an opportunity to develop your veil painting skills through developing brush mastery and enlivened perception of the world in and around us. After working with each different element\, participants will create an artwork with a nature theme\, bringing all four gestures together in one artwork. \nEach element has a different gesture that characterises the phenomenal world of the etheric or life world. These gestures provide variations in veiling approaches that go beyond being mere ‘outer’ techniques and point to how the task of the artist is not to paint the visible\, but reveal the invisible. \nWe use watercolour wet-on-dry painting\, the preferred technique of any anthroposophic painting training. It is not an easy skill to develop but very satisfying to master. \nYou can read more about the anthroposophic approach and why we prefer watercolour over acrylics and oils in this short article. \nWho is it for? \n\nFor anyone interested in learning the wet-on-dry watercolour technique.\nFor artists\, art therapists and Steiner (Waldorf) teachers who want to deepen their understanding of colour (PD certificates available if requirements are met).\n\nWhen is it? \n3.00pm-5.00pm AEST fortnightly on Saturdays\n7 June- 2 August 2025 \nCost \n$240 AUD/$160 USD\n$250 for PD certificate\nVideo recordings included in the fee\, available for private study. \n \n\nBOOK HERE\n\nThe payment options\, Zoom link\, and a list of materials will be sent to you after booking. \nFor more information \nThis course also a core component of Art as a Path of Schooling for the Soul. It provides the beginnings of a sound foundation in the anthroposophic (Steiner) approach to colour and painting. \n\nContact\n\n \n \nPhoto credit: Sunlit Tree By A Waterfall\, I © Fiona Campbell\n \n

SUMMARY:Working with Counter Images & Contradictions in the Soul
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nThe first step (in developing spiritual senses and organs of activity) is to direct the soul’s attention toward certain processes in the world around us. \nThese processes are life. \n  \nRudolf Steiner\, in How To Know Higher Worlds \n  \nImaginative exercises based on the preparatory exercises given by Steiner in How to Know Higher Worlds\, using painting\, drawing and meditation exercises. \nThis online course provides an artistic entry into his preparatory exercises for the development of spiritual faculties.working with polarities and the counter images of sunrise and moonrise\, growing plant and dying plant. This is a path for the schooling of the soul for higher development and it uses two motifs from Steiner’s Nine Training Sketches for the Artist to guide us on this path.  \nThrough exploration of counter-images and seeming contradictions of polarities\, we can strengthen both our imaginative faculties and our life forces.  \nYou don’t have to be an experienced artist to find this course enriching but you do need some knowledge of Steiner’s meditative path and be open to new ways of seeing the world. \n \nBackground information \nWith the increasing\, encroaching of AI-generated images filling our screens\, through film\, tv and internet\, the essential creativity that lives deep 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. Further\, it undermines the very essence of what it means to be human. \nIn the face of this attack on our human-ness\, we need to bring a counter-impulse by strengthening our capacity to work with imaginations that arise out of human spirituality and the spiritual in nature. \nBy working artistically and contemplatively with colour and the formative forces of life\, we can nurture our uniquely human capacities to create\, to think and to think creatively\, We can counter this dehumanising force\,  \nWe need to  enliven our imaginative faculties to counter the life-destroying forces bombarding us. \nWho is it for? \n\nFor artists\, art therapists and Waldorf teachers 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 participants in the 2nd year of Art as a Path of Schooling for the Soul.\n\nTo get the most out of this course\, it is anticipated participants will work on their own between the fortnightly sessions. \nRecommended: familiarity with basic watercolour wet on wet\, wet-on-dry or veiling skills (you can use pastel if preferred\, but watercolour painting is recommended).  \nBackground reading: Steiner’s How to Know Higher Worlds: A Modern Path of Initiation \nWhen is it? \n3PM-5PM AEST Saturdays\, 14th June-23rd August 2025\nSeven fortnightly classes plus recording \nCost \n300 AUD/190 USD\n$310 AUD for PD certificate (requires 70% attendance and all exercises submitted to Padlet). \nVideo recording available for three months included in the fee. \n \n\nBook here!\n \n\nHow to join the workshop \nThe payment options\, Zoom link\, and list of materials will be sent after booking. \nFor more information \nThis course is a Painted Space Studio course.

SUMMARY:Breathing Through The Cycle Of The Year: A Therapeutic Intensive
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe soul of the Earth\nLives through the seasons’ changing –\nSummer and Winter. \n  \nThis therapeutic painting intensive evokes the breathing cycle of the year’s seasonal changes through colour\, gesture and meditative verse. \nBased on a classic Hauschka therapy exercise Painting as an Exercise for Breathing\, this online workshop is an immersive\, deeply healing experience of the power of the health-giving forces of the earth’s harmonious breath. Rudolf Steiner tells us that the cycle of the earth is a kind of mighty breathing process of earth in relation to the surrounding cosmos (Lecture I\, The Cycle of the Year). This lecture is optional background reading for the intensive.  \nFlowing\, breathing colours are highly beneficial for revitalising the burnt-out soul. Find renewal in this special guided intensive over four late afternoons. From Summer’s light\, we dive down into the warmth and sleep of Autumn and Winter\, before emerging into the life and light of Spring. \nWho is it for? \nFor anyone in need of soul nourishment and renewal. Particularly suited for conditions of insomnia\, depression\, burnout and long covid. \nYou do not need to be an experienced artist to participate in this workshop. Participants are guided through the experience with demonstrations. \nOnline guided exercises and contemplation interspersed with working quietly in the comfort of your home with the company of an Australia-wide community. \nBenefits of live participation \nWhen you paint alone\, you are doing it for yourself. But when you paint with others\, at the same time as them\, even though it is in a virtual environment\, you are creating etheric substance for everyone. Think of it as like visual prayer\, a group of people coming together with the specific intention to bring something into the world that benefits both ourselves yet also puts positive\, creative forces into the world. \nAnd we create within a divine-spiritual community. Divine beings look over our shoulders; we create in their company and in the company of like-minded others.The gift is in the giving\, in the doing\, as much as in the product. \nWhen\n5.00pm to 6.15 pm AEST\, Monday 4th August to Thursday 7th August. \n \nCost\n$210 AUD/$140 USD\nVideo recordings available after the intensive\n \nBookings\nBook here\nPlease complete this form to book for this short intensive workshop. You will be sent the payment details and a list of suggested materials and a reading after booking.  \nThe Zoom link is sent one (1) day before the first workshop. Use the same link for each session. \nFind out more \nPlease contact Painted Space Studio \n  \n  \n\n\n\nFeature image: Blossoming Fruiting Trees © Fiona Campbell

SUMMARY:Working with Steiner’s Training Sketches for the Artists
DESCRIPTION:Introducing Steiner’s anthroposophic training path for painters\nwith Painted Space Studio \n  \n  \n\n‘…and in the creations of the artist there will appear to us\nthe traces of his soul experience in the cosmos’\n \nSteiner \n\n  \n \nThe Nine Nature Moods  or Training Sketches are the definitive foundation and starting point of Steiner’s impulse for the Arts. Given as ‘picture seeds’ to lead us into the future\, they open the door to the new anthroposophic approach to painting. \n\n \nThis fortnightly online course introduces you to Rudolf Steiner’s approach to painting and his understanding of how the formative forces shape and move the world around us through his own pastel sketches. The course uses the wet-on-dry veiling technique but wet-on-wet or pastels are also possible if you prefer. \n \nWhat will we do? \n\n \nStarting with the sunrise\, these sketches take us on an imaginative journey following the sun\, moon and seasons as expressions of the spiritual laws in play between earth and cosmos. We work with each sketch creatively yet with careful attention to the forces they embody\, first in pastel\, then in watercolour to create a wonderful series of heavenly and earthly imaginations. \n \nWho is it for? \n\n \n\n	For anyone interested learning about the core anthroposophic approach to art\, colour and painting. \n\n\n	For Steiner teachers\, artists\, art therapists and art students seeking to develop their artistic practice. \n\n\n \nThis course is a core course of the Art as a Path of Schooling for the Soul training. Beginners are welcome\, but some watercolour painting experience is desirable. If preferred\, you may choose to work with soft pastels only. \n \nWhat is the importance of the Training Sketches? \n\nSunrise I\, from the Nine Nature Moods series \n\nYou can see some interpretations of these sketches here.  \nThese nine nature mood sketches are the starting place for anyone seeking to understand Steiner’s new impulse for the visual arts. But these sketches are not images of external natural events; they refer to acts that are effective in nature and human\, says Christiane Haid\, head of the Visual Arts Section at the Goetheanum. She believes that working with the creative forces in and around us can become the starting point for facing tasks in healing the world.  \nThe nine sketches are part of a comprehensive 28 motif portfolio known as the Training Sketches for the Artists. Along with Steiner’s watercolours\, The Seven School or Friedwart Sketches and many others (the Goetheanum epochs motifs are supplementary to the portfolio)\, they form the foundation of an anthroposophic art training in painting and drawing. Steiner first gave them to artist Henni Geck in 1922 for the new of painting\, just as he earlier developed eurythmy as a new art of movement. \n\n \n  \nWhen is it? \n3pm-5pm Saturdays AEST\, 6 September – 29 November 2025\nSeven two-hour fortnightly sessions. Participants are expected to do some homework between classes. Edited recordings of the sessions are available post-class but live participation is preferred to get the most out of the course\, including individual feedback\, unless your time zone makes this impossible. \n \nCost \n\n \n$290 AUD/$190 USD \n$300 AUD for PD certificate\, conditions apply* \nVideo recordings included in the fee\, available for private study. \n  \nBook here! \n \n\n \nThe payment options\, Zoom link\, a list of materials and suggested readings will be sent to you after booking. \n\n \n \n\n \nFor more information \n\n \n\nContact \n \n\n* PD (Pr0fessional development certificates) require 75% attendance and exercises on Padlet\nFeature image: Moonrise (2022) © Fiona Campbell\nFeature quote: from Artistic and Moral Experience\, in Colour\, Part III \n\n\n\n\n \n \n

SUMMARY:A Conversation With Your Garden: Goethean Observation and Drawing
DESCRIPTION:  \nOh\, I who wish to grow\,
I look out\, and inside me the tree grows. \nRainer Maria Rilke \n  \n \nLearn to see your garden with new eyes and learn new drawing techniques! \n \nThese six online workshops uses the core stages of the phenomenological process of Goethean phenomenology using charcoal\, pastels\, shaded and dynamic drawing. \nSpring and Autumn are ideal times of year to turn our eyes to Nature to learn her secrets. The cycle of the plant is particularly on display to us\, as seed becomes leaf\, leaf becomes bud\, then flower turns to fruit and finally\, seeds return to the earth. (Of course\, any time of year in the garden is good\, but Spring and Autumn have particular qualities of change and transformation\, which are especially suited to observation and drawing.)  \nWhat will we do? \n Each workshop leads us through a process of becoming ‘at home’ with Nature\, using quiet contemplation\, careful observation\, mood immersion\, sketching and colour painting. \nParticipants keep a visual diary to document their discoveries and observations. \nBy getting up close with our garden in this way\, we learn to step more deeply into the cycles of life. \nWhat is Goethean phenomenology? \nGoethean phenomenology (also known as Goethean observation) helps us develops fresh\, new eyes for the world around us. It offers us another way of being in the world\, one that brings us into a more participatory connection with both Nature and ourselves and helps us develop new organs of perception. \n  \nPhenomenology is the way of the future! \n  \nWho is it for? \n\nFor anyone interested in knowing more about Goethean phenomenology and how to practice it.\nFor nature lovers who would like to learn a non-confrontational way of drawing plants.\nFor Steiner teachers\, artists\, art therapists and art students seeking to understand how the formative forces work in Nature\n\nSuitable for all levels. You do not need to be an experienced artist to enjoy these workshops. Video recordings included in the fee\, available for private study. \nWhen is it? \n5.00pm-6.30pm AEST\, Fortnightly Wednesdays 10 September – 19 November\, 2025 \nCost \n$225 AUD/ $145 USD\n$230 PD certificate\, conditions apply\nVideo recordings included in the fee\, available for private study. \nBook here \n  \nFind out more! \nContact Fiona Campbell at Painted Space Studio \n  \nFeature image: The Plant between the Sun and Earth by G.Adams and O.

SUMMARY:The Michaelic Mystery: An Artistic Journey Exploring
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis masterclass in painting explores the nature and mission of Michael\, the Archangel of our age\, in connection with the human life and the seeds we plant for the future. . \nOur path of inquiry draws on Rudolf Steiner’s lectures on this theme\, starting with The Cycle Of The Year As A Breathing Process\, Lecture V and lectures from The Michael Mystery. \nWho is the course for? \n\nFor students of Anthroposophy who want to experience spiritual science through the arts\, knowing through doing.\n\nPainting skills and understanding of fundamental anthroposophic principles recommended to get the most out of this course. \nCost \n$280 AUD/$190 USD\nVideo recordings included in the fee\, available for private study. \nBookings \nWho is Michael ? \nMichael (pronounced Micha-el) is a higher being whose name means ‘who is like God’. He an archangel of Christian\, Judaic and Islamic religions and is often portrayed in art as slaying a dragon or Satan or with scales for weighing souls on the Day of Judgement. \nHe is said to inspire a cosmopolitan or world consciousness in us\, at a time when human beings are becoming more and more individualised and egocentric\, and our world more and more chaotic. His silent words provide a sure\, steady\, conscious pathway to bring our own spirit into harmony with World Spirit.  \nThinking as a Michaelic person has always to do with endeavouring to implant something of the spiritual into the wider cultural-scientific and social economic life of our time. \nFor more information \nContact Painted Space Studio \n  \nFeature image: Michael and the Dragon\, © Fiona Campbell 1999 \n  \nThe Michael age has dawned. Hearts begin to have thoughts. Enthusiasm no longer flows from mystical obscurity\, but from the inner clarity that thought conveys. To grasp this is to receive Michael into one’s soul. Thoughts that today seek to grasp the spirit must spring from hearts that beat for Michael as the fiery cosmic prince of thought.’  Rudolf Steiner \n

SUMMARY:Working with Composition: Bringing Ego Organisation into Painting
DESCRIPTION:  \nAn exploration of the role of composition in painting in relation to the ego or “I”as the organiser of our soul life\, through painting\, drawing and art history observation. The health-giving effects of working consciously with the principles of the fourfold human being underpins this studio course.  \nWhat is composition?\nHistorically\, artists have always drawn on the laws of perception to arrange the elements within a work of art\, to create balance\, focus\, unity or harmony in the work. This need for the visual ordering of colour\, line\, form and space is essential to our feelings of connection to or our aesthetic enjoyment of a work of art. But why is this so?  \n\nWhy do we experience harmonious peace in a Raphael Madonna yet also harmonious dynamism in a Turner stormy sea?  \n\nDo the elements of a work need to be arranged in a balanced compositional way to be aesthetically pleasing to the eye? Or can we also find satisfaction in chaos and unstructured movement? and what is happening within us when we experience this sense of enjoyment with a painting?  \nSimply\, what is the role of our “I” when creating or contemplating an art work? How do bring presence to our paintings? \nWhat will we do? \nIn this online course\, we explore the principles of composition and learn how to leverage these principles to bring the multiple elements of our painting together into unified wholeness. We learn how perception influences our ego organisation and our experience of harmony and balance when viewing both the great masters and our own work.  \nFirst\, we explore some classic laws of visual organisation\, such as the rule of thirds and the golden ratio\, by observing how these laws are inherent in famous artworks.  \nWe then learn how these principles relate to the role of our ego as organiser of our soul forces; then how to apply such principles to our own work. Thus\, the art work becomes a reflection of the activity of the ego on the fourfold human being\, according to the anthroposophic approach to painting.  \nThere is particular focus on the salutogenic effects of consciously working with ego organisation in painting. \nWho is it for? \nThis is a Schooling course but you are welcome to join us!  \n\nFor artists\, art therapists and art students looking to find a path of soul/spiritual development through the arts.\nFor anyone interested in an artistic understanding of the role of our higher self or I in visual composition. \n\nTo get the most out of this course\, it is anticipated participants will work on their own between the fortnightly sessions.  \nRequired: some familiarity with the anthroposophic approach to art and basic painting technique. Watercolour veiling/wet-on-dry skills are preferred.   \nPlease note: this is not a step-by-step instructional class so not advised for beginners in painting unless you are adventurous and self-motivated! \nWhat dates are the classes? \n3pm-5pm AEST Saturdays\n13 September-6 December 2025 \nThe workshops are recorded but live participation is preferred\, unless your time zone makes this impossible.  \nHow much does it cost? \n$300 for PD or for new participants.\n$280 for ongoing participants \nRecordings available post-course for private study.  \nHow do I book? \nBook here \nAfter registration\, participants will be sent the payment details and a list of suggested readings and materials.   \nThe Zoom workshop link is sent one (1) day before the class. \nFor more information \nPlease contact Fiona Campbell at Painted Space Studio \n  \nAbout the presenter \nFiona Campbell is the director of Painted Space Studio. She a researcher\, lecturer\, visual artist and arts educator.

SUMMARY:World Goetheanum Forum 2025 in Sekem\, Egypt
DESCRIPTION:World Goetheanum Forum 2025 \n24th -28th September 2025 \n  \nFor the first time\, the World Goetheanum Forum is going to Sekem\, the place of lived sustainable development and United Nations Champion of the Earth 2024! As a ‘Sustainable Native’\, Sekem has almost 50 years of experience in ecological\, social\, economic and cultural sustainable development. \nCelebrating diversity!  \nWe encounter diversity in new partnerships\, from seed companies to an upcoming children’s festival. Diversity is evident in all encounters between partners at events such as regional meetings and the World Goetheanum Association’s partner meeting. At the same time\, ‘diversity’ poses a challenge to us because\, socially\, we are only at the beginning\, and\, if we do not develop further\, we will reach the end ecologically. That is why diversity is one of the goals of sustainable development. We want to feel\, think and explore this idea together in Sekem from 24 to 28 September. This is what our contribution in terms of content attunes us for. \nWe invite you to actively engage with partners and practitioners worldwide in forum work on sustainable development. \nLooking forward to welcoming you in SEKEM\, on behalf of the preparation group\, \nDownload the program \nAssociated events \nPre-forum: ‘Sustainable Development for Global Impact: Scientific Conference’ at Heliopolis University on Wednesday\, 24th September from 10 am to 4 pm \nPost-forum: ‘Celebrating Farming: Climate Heroes of Egypt’\, at Sekem\, Sunday\, 28th September from 10 am to 2 pm. \n  \nPreparation group \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSEKEM\nHelmy Abouleish  \n\n\nGoetheanum – Section for Agriculture \nJohannes Kronenberg  \n\n\nWorld Goetheanum Association\nAndrea Valdinoci and Katharina Hofmann \n\nFind out more … \nContact the World Goetheanum Association  \nWeb registration  \n  \n\n \n  \nFeature image: courtesy of the World Goetheanum Association \nPhoto: courtesy of Sekem \n  \n
