OUR HIDDEN LIFE – WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE SLEEP
With Jessie Phelps
7.00 pm to 8.30 pm
Monday 16th September
At Lorien Novalis School Library
456/460a Old Northern Rd, Dural NSW
“Novalis was able to see that waking life during the day, with its mundane consciousness, is only part of the experience of contemporary humanity; and that every soul, immersing itself at night in unconsciousness, is in fact plunging into a spiritual world. He was able to feel profoundly, and to know, that in these worlds of spirit in which the soul is plunged at night, a higher spiritual reality exists; and that the day with all its sense impressions, even those of sun and light, is only a small part of the totality of spiritual reality. Thus the worlds of the night, the true world of spirit, dawn on Novalis and make the night precious to him.”
Rudolf Steiner GA 108 Answers to Universal Questions and Life Questions through Anthroposophy

What is it to be an artist on the stage informed by Anthroposophy?
2019-09-17 19:00 | Rudolf Steiner House, 307 Sussex Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000
Lecture with Neil Anderson
Drawing on the writings and practices of Rudolf Steiner and Georg Kühlewind, the talk will set out a theory of what is involved in being an artist of our time and then explore the particular demands, creative opportunities of speaking poetry and acting a part. Reference will be made to master performers such as Mechthild and Alan Harkness, and Barbara and Peter Bridgmont, as harbingers of future possibilities.

Water Yarning – Tidings, Flows and Sorrows
First Nation Elders from across the continent will come together to share their knowledge of WATER

GUMBAYNGGIRR COUNTRY
September 19 – 22, 2019
https://heartwoodsiteworks.com.au/wate r-yarning/
Venue: Yarrawarra Aboriginal Cultural Centre, 69 Red Rock Rd
Corindi Beach NSW 2456
First Nation Elders from across this continent will come together to share their knowledge across 3 days of yarning circles.
Our focus: WATER as a carrier of spirit, culture, story, memory, a sustainer of life. Older than the creation of Earth, both spring and origin, water is the font of all possibilities in existence.
Our aim: a shift away from a materialistic, greed-driven ‘take’ towards a deeper understanding, a living respect, a uniting will to protect all bodies of water.Our hope: growing towards an understanding of water as sovereign being with its own identities and rights. As participants you invited to add your questions and experiences in accord with yarning circle protocols.
The ecological crisis we face today is a crisis of spirit; whatever pollution we find in the environment is a reflection of the pollution within our own souls and societies, a manifestation of cynicism, ignorance, hatred and fear.
Water connects us all. Join us on a journey that will bring us together. For further info

An audiovisual presentation, discussion and exercises with Tim Bourke
Entry by donation.
What is the relationship between darkness and lights, science and anthroposophy, Ahriman and Lucifer?
Most importantly, where do we fit in, and how can we practically balance the claims of each in a Christ-like manner in our own lives?

After studying Physics at the ANU, Tim Bourke worked in IT in the Public Service for 29 years before more recently taking up a second career as a high school Science Teacher. He has been a member of the Christian Community in Canberra for 21 years, and enjoys readying, studying and applying the works of Rudolf Steiner in everyday life.
