SUMMARY:From Cosmos to Earth: the spiritual origins of our existence through art
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn the ethereal ocean’s colour-glorying \nThe weaving essence of the Light brings forth \nThe Spirit-texture of the Human Soul\, \nAnd ripening with seed of Spirit-life \nThe Soul athirst for Light looks out \nInto the darkling colour-depths of Space. \n  \nRudolf Steiner \n  \nThe first of three courses in the Masterclass series on exploring the origins of our spiritual and earthly existence.  \nInspired by Rudolf Steiner’s lectures on the planetary cycles and his Training Sketches for the Artist. This course will start with the planetary cycles beginning with Old Saturn and end with Lemuria. \nWhat are Steiner’s Training Sketches? \nThe Training Sketches can be seen as ‘picture seeds’ and were given to the artists in answer to a request from the painter Henni Geck for a new impulse in art. Henni Geck (1884-1951) was the first painter to use these indications. \nWho is the course for? \n\nFor Steiner teachers\, artists\, art therapists and art students seeking to understand the hidden forces of Cosmos that shaped the Earth and our earliest spiritual origins.\n\nPainting skills and understanding of fundamental anthroposophic principles recommended to get the most out of this course. \nSelected readings by Rudolf Steiner complement the practical work. \nWhen \n2pm-4pm AEDT Fridays\, 13 February – 8 May 2026 \nCost \n$300 AUD for ongoing participants\n$310 for PD certificate or for new participants enrolling only in this course.\nVideo recordings included in the fee\, available for private study. \n  \nBook here\n  \nFeature image: Moon Planetary Seal © Fiona Campbell 1996

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
