From Cosmos to Earth: the spiritual origins of our existence through art
2026-02-13 14:00 - 2026-05-08 16:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Online
In the ethereal ocean’s colour-glorying
The weaving essence of the Light brings forth
The Spirit-texture of the Human Soul,
And ripening with seed of Spirit-life
The Soul athirst for Light looks out
Into the darkling colour-depths of Space.

Rudolf Steiner

The first of three courses in the Masterclass series on exploring the origins of our spiritual and earthly existence.
Inspired 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.
What are Steiner’s Training Sketches?
The 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.
Who is the course for?

For 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.

Painting skills and understanding of fundamental anthroposophic principles recommended to get the most out of this course.
Selected readings by Rudolf Steiner complement the practical work.
