Anthroposophical Society in Australia

Listening to Country
2018-10-04 16:30 - 2018-10-07 14:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Shearwater Steiner School, 349 Left Bank Road, Mullumbimby, NSW, 2482
Listening to Country will take place on Bundjalung Country between the 4th and 7th October, at the Shearwater Steiner School in Mullumbimby.

Listening to Country is about listening to and learning from indigenous elders, knowledge keepers and artisans in ‘yarning circles’ or other settings chosen by the Elders present. Yarning circles create an opportunity to develop our cultural capacity to listen to and engage respectfully, insightfully and sensitively with indigenous law/lore, teachings, stories and art. Yarning circles encourage us to recognise indigenous perspectives and to develop our personal and collective understandings of the Sovereignty of Indigenous Knowledge and to build our awareness of and respect for place, for country and for its custodians.
Listening to Country invites you to be present in the moment, to have respectful interactions, to be open and honest, to listen deeply, to acknowledge the wisdom of others, and to offer your own knowledge appropriately in turn.

What are the spiritual, soul and health consequences. The post-truth world is an item on the 2018 Bilderberg meeting to discuss its strategic implications.

Have we reached this point and what does it signify, spiritually psychologically and physically.

Who am I and who are you
2018-09-11 19:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Rudolf Steiner House, 307 Sussex Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000
A talk with Andrew Wolpert. The phenomena of gender dysphoria and gender fluidity in the context of the ancient Temple exhortation and unavoidable modern challenge: “Know yourself!” Meeting each other beyond the categories of race, religion and social class has become the accepted norm for us today, but the relevance of gender and gender orientation is still not uncontested. Does the panorama of our unfinished evolution given to us in anthroposophy offer a context that sheds light on this theme that is so prevalent in our modern public culture and give deeper meaning to the quest for self knowledge?
