Ha sido por casualidad que podamos contar con el profesor Radko Tichavsky, una de las personas que más está contribuyendo al desa- rrollo de la homeopatía para los cultivo y para las plantas. Creemos que es un profesional con unas ideas que van muy en la línea que seguimos en la escuela; y, además, es un tema poco desarrollado a nivel bi- bliográfico. Es por esta razón, que estamos muy contentos de poder contar con la posibilidad de organizar un Seminario sobre Holohomeopatía para la Agricultura, los próximos 23 y 24 de Julio. Estamos seguros que será una buena oportunidad de conocer a este maestro. Esperemos que nos pueda aclarar las dudas sobre la utilización de los remedios homeopáticos para la mejora y el rendimiento de las plantas. Hemos incluido también la biografía del matrimonio Kolísko. Fueron discí- pulos de Rudolf Steiner, pionero en la utilización de los remedios homeopá- ticos para las plantas; sus ideas de biodinámica son aún, hoy en día, de máxima actualidad. Los estudios de los austriacos Eugen y Lili Kolísko, y, posteriormente, de cientos de investigadores más, marcaron una línea científica en agrohomeopatía. Reciban un saludo.

  • Introduction to Ita Wegman and Walter Johannes Stein's Persephone Play
    Introduction to Ita Wegman and Walter Johannes Stein’s Persephone play The Persepkoneia play, published for the first time in these pages, comes from the literary estate of Ita Wegman (1876-1943). It was originally written around Easter 1930 for the international youth camp to be held in August that year at Stakenberg in Holland. Two versions are in existence: 1) a handwritten version in Ita Wegman and Walter Johannes Stein’s handwriting, and 2) a typescript. Remarkably, Ita Wegman and Walter Johannes Stein took turns in the handwritten version; two thirds were written by Ita Wegman, with 5 passages in Stein’s handwriting in between, on two occasions changing in mid-sentence. I found these undated manuscripts in Arlesheim in 1981 when I was planning the biography and sorting through Ita Wegman’s papers. The typewritten text carries a note by Dr Hilma Walter: ‘summarized by Dr Wegman1, which suggested that it was a revision or summary of an existing text. I was unable to find out anything about Ihis, however; Dr Walter was no longer alive and Madeleine van Deventer had never heard of the play. To date, there has been nothing to indicate that Wegman (and Stein) based themselves on an existing text On the other hand the history suggests that this is an original work by Ita Wegman, and that Walter Stein worked on it as well. The play is also remarkable in so far as there are no other known literary efforts by Ita Wegman.1 Later a systematic search of Ita Wegman^ correspondence brought to light a letter Dr Willem Zeylmans van Emmichoven (1893-1961) had written to Ita Wegman (dated May 1930), in which he discusses the play in some detail.

  • Chapter 1 Waldorf Teacher Education
    Chapter 1 Waldorf Teacher Education: Methodology of the Study Section 1 Introduction 1. Background information The primary focus of most of the literature on Steiner or Waldorf Education ~ whether couched in ways variously intending to theorise, compare, inform, expound, or extol ~ has been on the question of how children (whether of early childhood, primary or high school years) should be educated. The main aim of this thesis is to explore the question of how Waldorf teachers should be educated. In order to begin to tackle this seemingly straightforward question it seemed logical to begin at the beginning, that is, with the theory underlying what Waldorf teachers were being educated for. Steiner’s educational theory is explicit in maintaining that education is about facilitating the process of becoming more human. But aren’t we human enough already? What does it mean to become more human? How are human beings (for so long referred to as ‘Man’) constituted? What is ‘Man’? In some ways the trend of the questioning is reminiscent of, and inevitably leads to, the Classical Greek injunction “O Man. Know Thyself”1. It was in contemplating these questions that the realisation came of what the underlying core of the thesis would be. Something had to be said about what Steiner believed the human being to be, and therefore how the education of the human being should proceed. More specifically still, how the teachers who were to implement the 1 This injunction was engraved above the portal of the temple of Apollo at Delphi. 2 educational ideas would themselves be educated.

  • Camphill and the Future
    DISABILITY STUDIES | RELIGION M C KANAN THE CAMPHILL MOVEMENT, one of the world’s largest and most enduring networks of intentional communities, deserves both recognition and study. CAMPHILL A ND Founded in Scotland at the beginning of the Second World War, Camphill communities still thrive today, encompassing thousands of people living in more CAMPHILL than one hundred twenty schools, villages, and urban neighborhoods on four continents. Camphillers of all abilities share daily work, family life, and festive THE FUTURE celebrations with one another and their neighbors. Unlike movements that reject mainstream society, Camphill expressly seeks to be “a seed of social renewal” by evolving along with society to promote the full inclusion and empowerment of persons with disabilities, who comprise nearly half of their residents. In this Spirituality and Disability in an Evolving Communal Movement multifaceted exploration of Camphill, Dan McKanan traces the complexities of AND THE the movement’s history, envisions its possible future, and invites ongoing dia- logue between the fields of disability studies and communal studies. “Dan McKanan knows Camphill better than anyone else in the academic world FUTURE and has crafted an absorbing account of the movement as it faces challenges eighty years after its founding.” TIMOTHY MILLER, author of The Encyclopedic Guide to American Inten- tional Communities “This book serves as a living, working document for the Camphill movement. Spirituality and Disability Communal Movement in an Evolving McKanan shows that disability studies and communal studies have more to offer each other than we recognize.” ELIZABETH SANDERS, Managing Director, Camphill Academy “With good research and wonderful empathy, McKanan pinpoints not only Cam- phill’s societal significance but also how this eighty-year-old movement can still bring potent remediation for the values and social norms of today’s world.” RICHARD STEEL, CEO, Karl König Institute DAN MCKANAN is the Emerson Senior Lecturer at Harvard Divinity School.

  • Bibliography of the Published Writings of Owen Barfield
    BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE PUBLISHED WRITINGS OF OWEN BARFIELD 1917 - 2019 COMPILED BY JANE W. HIPOLITO Acknowledgments: Owen Barfield was an astonishingly prolific author. His earliest publication appeared in 1917; the most recent listing in this bibliography is 2019. Barfield wrote on a wide variety of topics in very diverse venues, several of which do not appear in any publication indexes, databases, or other bibliographic resources. Accordingly, discovering what the published writings of Owen Barfield are, as well as tracking down and confirming the publication details, has been a complex process lasting more than a quarter of a century, throughout which I have needed and received much help. There are many people to thank for the 2019 Barfield Bibliography. G. B. Tennyson warmly invited me to undertake this project in 1980. Many of Barfield’s published writings are listed in the pioneering bibliography which Professor Tennyson compiled for the 1976 Festschrift in Barfield’s honor, Evolution of Consciousness: Studies in Polarity. I am deeply grateful for Professor Tennyson’s trust in me, and for his 1976 bibliography, which has been a major resource for Barfieldian studies. Owen Barfield immediately supported Professor Tennyson’s invitation and provided substantial help, opening up his own files and personally introducing me to the staff of Rudolf Steiner House in London, which holds copies of numerous hard-to-find Barfield publications. From the outset, Thomas Kranidas also has been inexhaustibly helpful and encouraging; I am much indebted to Professor Kranidas for his astute advice and generosity, especially concerning Barfield’s little-known imaginative writings. A great many librarians contributed to the compiling of this bibliography.
