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. She has an interdisciplinary PhD on creativity and cognition and also trained as an art therapist. \nShe has special expertise in the anthroposophic approach to painting and has been teaching painting for 25 years. \nFiona is also a member of the Stream of Life Research Studio\, where she focuses on her other two specialisations\, phenomenology and creative cognition. \nYou can find out more about Fiona on her website or listen to a ABC Soul Search interview with her about the anthroposophical approach to art. \n  \nFeature image: Indigo and Umber Study I © Fiona Campbell 2000

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

SUMMARY:Working with colour\, out of colour: a one-day painting intensive
DESCRIPTION:  \nA Painted Space Studio workshop\n  \n“A whole world opened and showed me colour as a living being.” \nGoethe \n  \nThis intensive workshop is a must for anyone who wishes to understand the role of colour in Steiner’ education and in Anthroposophy in general. \nIt introduces you to colour as an experience! We use the immersive wet-on-wet painting technique to help us transpose ourselves into the colour\, so that we can say: “I am blue’ or ‘I am at one with golden yellow’. This is an important process for understanding how to work with colour\, out of colour\, selflessly.   \nThe workshop provides you with basic watercolour painting skills and a grounding in Goethe’s Theory of Colour (which underlies the Steiner/Waldorf school curriculum for the visual arts). \nPainting ‘out of colour’  \nBut how do we paint ‘out of colour’ and not form? And how does this relate to the colours in nature\, in the sky\, the colours of the rainbow? To answer these questions\, we start with Goethe’s colour circle as our guide. By immersing ourselves into the colour circle as it moves from warm to cool\, light to dark\, heaven to earth and back\, we experience the full spectrum of colour  – and of ourselves.  \n\nWhy Goethe’s colour circle ? \nGoethe proposed a revolutionary method of approaching the phenomena of colour\, one which integrates the observer with the experience. Further\, Goethe was concerned with the qualities of colours\, which he called the ‘deeds and sufferings of the light’. By immersing our senses in each colour\, one by one\, we come to a deep\, intuitive relationship with them. This\, in turn\, connects us more strongly to colour in the world around us. \nWho is it for? \n\nFor Steiner (Waldorf) teachers who want to learn about colour to support their teaching practice (PD certificates available).\n\n\nFor anyone interested in learning to paint in the anthroposophic (Steiner) approach.\n\nThis short intensive also provides an introduction to the Art as a Path of Schooling for the Soul training. The Essence of Anthroposophic Art: Veiling the Colours follows on from this course\, a further exploration of Goethe’s Theory of Colour but introducing the wet-on-dry watercolour painting technique. \nWhen is it? \n3.30pm-8pm AEDT\, Saturday 21 February 2026 \nCost \n$150 AUD\n$160 AUD for PD certificate\nVideo recordings and readings included in the fee\, available for private study.\nYou will be sent the payment details and a list of suggested materials after booking. The Zoom link is sent one (1) day before the workshop begins. \nBookings \nBook here!\n  \n  \nFor more information \nContact Fiona Campbell \n\n  \nFeature image: Goethe’s symmetric colour wheel with associated symbolic qualities (1809) \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:A Conversation With Your Garden (Autumn): Goethean Observation and Drawing
DESCRIPTION: \nPainted Space Studio presents\n  \n\nOh\, I who wish to grow\,
I look out\, and inside me the tree grows. \nRainer Maria Rilke 1914 \n\n \nImmersing ourselves in Nature as She turns inward … \nAutumn is the wonderful time of year to turn our eyes to the changes Nature brings to the garden: the reds and golds of European trees\, the bounty of fruits and late vegetables\, all mixed in with the evergreens and native plants following their own local seasonal changes. \nWhether you have your own garden or like to walk in a local park\, a nature reserve or even just tend a few pot plants on your balcony\, being with plants in their endless cycles of becoming and dying away is both energising and de-stressing for us. A health-giving counterblance to computer work! \nUsing Goethean phenomenology to guide us\, these six online workshops will help you to become more ‘at home’ with nature. \nThe six workshops use mixed media and different drawing techniques to take us through this process. Techniques include charcoal\, pencil\, paint and pastel.

SUMMARY:The Essence of Anthroposophic Art: Veiling the Colours
DESCRIPTION:A Painted Space Studio workshop\n  \nIf I delve deeper into the characters of the different colours\, they show me their dynamic qualities. Out my experience\, I can then let the colours guide me. \n  \nBeppe Assenza \n  \nThis course introduces the iconic veil painting technique so closely identified with Rudolf Steiner’s artistic approach. \nWe delve into the language of colour using transparent surfaces of liquid colour in free compositions inspired by Beppe Assenza’s playful but meditative approach to painting. \nThis is the preferred technique of any anthroposophic painting training. It is not an easy skill to develop but very satisfying to master. \nRudolf Steiner developed this technique as a way of of interfacing with the spirit through painting.  \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 veiling (wet-on-dry) watercolour technique.\nFor artists\, art therapists and Steiner (Waldorf) teachers who want to deepen their understanding of colour (PD certificates available).\n\nWhen is it? \n3.00 pm-5.00 pm AEDT\, Saturdays\, 28 February-25 April 2026\nFive fortnightly sessions plus video recording \nCost \n$240 AUD\n$250 for PD certificate (75% attendance and participation required)\nVideo recordings included in the fee\, available for private study.\nThe payment options\, Zoom link\, and a list of materials will be sent to you after booking. \n\nBOOK HERE\n \n\n  \nFor more information \nThis course is a core component of Art as a Path of Schooling for the Soul. It is preceded by the introductory workshop\, Working with Colour\, Out of Colour. Together\, they provide a sound foundation in the anthroposophic (Steiner) approach to colour and painting. \n  \nContact \n  \nFeature image: New Life Emerges © Fiona Campbell 2010\n

SUMMARY:Inscribing Signs with a Finger Dipped in Light 2026
DESCRIPTION: \nTowards A Cultural-Spiritual Approach to Dying and Death\nOnce\, we understood dying and death through imaginations\, inspirations and intuitions. For many\, this consciousness\, understanding and reverence of dying and death\, and life beyond the threshold\, have been lost\, silenced and ‘dropped’ from our individual and communal cultural-spiritual life.  \nBy offering a deep study of Anthroposophy/Spiritual Science\, our course provides a pathway towards understanding the significance of dying and death in the context of your own life. \nIf it is your intention is to become a Companion to the Dying\, this step is a prerequisite\, as it will give you the integrity\, competence\, transformative knowledge and awareness to support those journeying towards the threshold.  \nOur aim is to enable you to develop a sincere relationship with Death\, an understanding of the individual path of dying and reincarnation\, and reverence of the autonomous moment of death.  \nOur use of the arts and creative activities – visual art\, sculpture\, music [Music Thanatology]\, creative speech\, poetry\, creative writing\, oral storytelling and folktale research\, and eurythmy – will cultivate and integrate your perception of death as the most sacred\, the most individual moment in life.  \nThis insight allows us to develop with you spiritual-cultural approaches and creative processes you can apply with autonomy and integrity both as Companion to the Dying and your own life. \nDownload the course prospectus \n  \n\n\n\n\nWhen \n\n\n\n\nCourse duration: March – November 2026 \nFlyer \nPlease download the flyer and contact us with any questions. \nContact \nInscribing Signs\, running successfully since 2024\, welcomes your inquiries and expressions of interest for 2026. \nCourse Convenors \nIrmhild Kleinhenz 0444 551 381 \nIris Curteis  0487 719 476 \n  \n  \nIn Cooperation With: The Section For Literary Arts & Humanities\, The Section For Performing Arts\, and The Collegium Of The School Of Spiritual Science\, \nGoetheanum\, Dornach \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\nFeature Image: courtesy of Iris Curteis \n\n  \n\n\n\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Surfaces as Interfaces to the Spirit
DESCRIPTION:  \n“…when we apply the lifeless paint to a surface\,\n we must get the light behind the surface. We must spiritualise\nthe surface and create a secret inner radiance.” \nRudolf Steiner \n  \nThis course explores the nature of painting as a coming-into-being experience that has the capacity to open our souls to the life of the cosmos. \nOne key difference between most modern art schools and the approach offered by Rudolf Steiner is that we make a clear distinction between drawing and painting\, between the qualities of the line and those of the surface. \nWhy is this so? What difference can it make to paint with surfaces rather than with lines? And what does this even mean? \nPainting is a two-dimensional art of coloured surfaces. If we work consciously with this thought\, work actively with this understanding\, our whole relationship to how we paint (as opposed to what we paint) is changed and transformed. \nWorking with transparent surfaces creates an interface to our inner world\, which in turn leads us to the threshold of our inner being – and beyond. In fact\, Steiner states that artists\, especially painters\, are already working at the threshold of consciousness. \nBut care must be taken! If we open ourselves too much to the spiritual world\, then we may be in danger of losing ourselves to it. Meditative verses can help us here\, so we will also work with appropriate meditations during the course. \nWho is it for? \n\nFor artists\, art therapists and art students seeking a path of soul/spiritual development through the arts.\nFor advanced participants of Art as a Path of Schooling for the Soul.\n\nRequired: watercolour wet-on-dry or veiling skills. This is not a demonstrated course so you must feel comfortable with your painting technique. \nDesirable: Working with Colour Moods or equivalent experience of working with watercolour painting. \nWhen is it? \nSaturdays 3pm-5pm AEDT\n7 March – 2 May 2026\nFortnightly classes plus recording \nCost \n$260 AUD\n$270 for PD certificate\nVideo recordings and other resources included in the fee. The payment options\, Zoom link\, and list of materials will be sent after booking. \n \n\nBook here!\n\n  \nFor more information \nThis course also a core component of Art as a Path of Schooling for the Soul. It follows on from Working with Colour Moods. \n\nContact\n\n \nBackground reading \nA Contemplation on Surfaces as Interfaces to the Spirit\, a lecture by Fiona Campbell\n‘The Phenomenon of Colour in Material Nature’\, In Colour GA 291 by Rudolf Steiner \n  \nFeature image: Musical Improvisation  © Fiona Campbell 2010
