Announcement Pages for Public Talks of Orland Bishop And A Public Talk on Awakening to the American Spirit Orland Bishop of Los Angeles, California Wednesday evening, August 31, 2005, 7:30 p.m. Unitarian Church Parish Hall, Main Street, Peterborough Cost: Adults: $10, Sr. Citizens and Students $5 Hidden Forces of the American Dream How do we create vital agreements to sustain the Spirit of America and its world task? Orland Bishop combines a deep dedication to human rights advocacy and cultural renewal with an extensive study of medicine, naturopathy, psychology and indigenous cosmologies. He was a research fellow with the Center for the Study of Violence and Social Change at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science in Los Angeles and has consulted with many human development organizations. As director of Shade Tree Multicultural Foundation in Los Angeles, he has pioneered approaches to urban truces and mentoring at-risk youth that combine new ideas with traditional ways of knowledge. Shade Tree reaches into gang and drug cultures where many young people expect to die before the age of 20. “These young people feel that they are not welcome in the world, in the culture and in the future,” explains Mr. Bishop. Shade Tree employs a unique process that draws on both contemporary and ancient practices, particularly that of the South African tradition of Indaba or “deep talk.” Hidden Forces of the American Dream refers to the creative, still unused powers available to the American people and land that were released through tremendous sacrifices made over the course of American history by Native Americans, African slaves and waves of immigrants. Mr. Bishop will discuss the opportunity and necessity for Americans to perceive and manifest these unrealized, yet accessible, forces – gifts of peoples whose sacrifices wait to be worked with. Talk Sponsored by Global Network for Social Threefolding (GN3) GN3, initiated in 2000, is an international network promoting practical approaches to peaceful individual and institutional transformation leading to sustainable development. GN3 seeks to educate individuals and organizations in civil society, business and government to their potential to solve pressing social challenges. Orland Bishop’s talk is being given as part of GN3’s 2005 annual meetings, being held in this area.

A Public Talk on Awakening to the American Spirit Yeshayahu Ben-Aharon of Harduf, Israel Tuesday evening, September 6, 2005, 7:30 p.m. Unitarian Church Parish Hall, Main Street, Peterborough Cost: Adults: $10, Sr. Citizens and Students $5 The Role of the Feminine in the Liberation of the American Spirit The resurrection of the feminine in the human soul Dr. Yeshayahu Ben-Aharon teaches, writes and lectures on the evolution of human consciousness in the sciences, humanities, and spirituality. He is also a leader in social development projects with Arabs and Jews. His main goal is to combine spiritual research with social activism in Israel and in the world. He is the author of the book, America's Global Responsibility (Lindesfarne Press, NY, 2004). In 1980 Ben-Aharon co-founded the Harduf community in northern Israel near Nazareth, a center for diverse social, educational and curative activities. He has also co-founded two civil society networks: Activists for Israeli Civil Society (ICS), and Global Network for Social Threefolding (GN3). Born and raised on a kibbutz, Ben Aharon grew up in a family of revolutionaries. His father, Yitzhak Ben- Aharon, now 99, was one of the founders and leaders of the Labor Party and of the Kibbutz movement in Israel. Dr. Ben-Aharon’s topic on September 6 is based in part on his study of American legends that portray a historical trend that is beginning to reveal itself - the capacity of the awakening feminine in individuals to dramatically alter the course of American social life and its institutions. Talk Sponsored by Global Network for Social Threefolding (GN3) GN3, initiated in 2000, is an international network promoting practical approaches to peaceful individual and institutional transformation leading to sustainable development. GN3 seeks to educate individuals and organizations in civil society, business and government to their potential and ability to solve pressing social challenges.

Hamovil [email protected] Last Update: October 2016 Tomer Rosen Grace, Translator, Copy editor & Proofreader CV, Anthroposophical and other Translation Projects, and relevant work experience Name: Tomer Yasmin Rosen Grace Born: 12 September 1968, Mother of 2. Currently living in Harduf Anthroposophic Community in the North of Israel. Over the past 25 years I have translated 15 books as well as articles from English and German into Hebrew, mostly in the areas of literature, Jewish and New Age spirituality, Anthroposophy, self help, parenting, couples help and new age psychology & channelling. Recently I also translated an 300-page autobiography from Hebrew into English. I have also written, illustrated and self-published 12 children's books in Hebrew to-date, with more intended in near future. The first of them I also translated into English and published on Amazon July 2015. Part of my expertise lies in presenting a well written translated text, i.e. I always edit my own text for accuracy and style, making sure each dot lies in its rightful place. In addition to translating, I also take editing and proof-reading works in Hebrew, concentrating on polishing-up the text in terms of style and spelling/punctuation, rather than re-writing it. Punctuation in Hebrew (Nikkud) is another skill I offer, as well as editing already-translated work from German or English, including comparing the translation to the original and correcting it as necessary.

  • Globalization, Post-Materialism and Threefolding
    id43049218 pdfMachine by Broadgun Software - a great PDF writer! - a great PDF creator! - http://www.pdfmachine.com http://www.broadgun.com GLOBALIZATION, POST-MATERIALISM AND THREEFOLDING http://www.cadi.ph/Features/Feature_11_Post_Mat.htm 07/26/2007 GLOBALIZATION, POST-MATERIALISM AND THREEFOLDING[1] By Nicanor Perlas[2] Abstract The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and the Battle of Genoa in July 2001 in Italy captures the present power configuration of the world. Three worldviews are struggling for control over the future of the planet. These three worldviews are characterized and labeled, broadly, as Jihad, McWorld, and Civitas. McWorld is the world of the dominant materialistic modernity that governs the world. Jihad is the fundamentalist response of tradition, not just Islam, to McWorld. The world of Civitas is the world of post-materialism seeking a more spiritual approach, different from McWorld and Jihad, to world challenges. An elite form of globalization associated with McWorld has taken over the planet with disastrous consequences. This elite form of globalization is forcing humanity to ask fundamental questions about the nature and meaning of ’s relationship with it. human existence, about societies and civilizations, and about the nature of nature and humanity The questions of McWorld cannot be answered from the consciousness of McWorld nor Jihad. It requires a post-material consciousness, perspective and action to address the problems spawned by elite globalization today. Fortunately, there is a massive awakening throughout the world today in connection with a more spiritual approach and response to the challenge of McWorld. Ronald Inglehart documents the broad contours of this new awakening.

  • 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
    3 Camphill Contexts A communal movement, like any living thing, evolves in complex relationship with its environment. In the beginning, the relevant environment is small. The movement’s growth is shaped primarily by the founders’ creativity and strength of will, their capacity to get along with one another, and other internal factors. Movements that reach a second or third generation do so because their found- ers manage to open themselves to the surrounding world, at least to the extent of welcoming a new generation into movement leadership. This is what Camphill accomplished, rather splendidly, with the incorporation of baby boomers in the 1970s. By the time a communal movement reaches maturity, however, it does not simply live within an environment. It relates simultaneously to multiple contexts, each offering its own challenges and opportunities to the movement. The task of a mature movement is to allow itself to be transformed by each of its contexts, and simultaneously to transform each context by bringing to it distinctly communal practices and ideals. THE ANTHROPOSOPHICAL MOVEMENT Camphill’s first context was the anthroposophical movement, and anthroposophy continues to exert a formative influence over Camphill’s development. The found- ers of Camphill began as members of anthroposophical youth groups in Vienna. Like other clusters of younger anthroposophists in the 1920s and 1930s, they were impatient with abstract study and eager to translate their spiritual ideals into con- crete practices. When the rise of Hitler forced them out of Vienna, they followed the migration patterns of anthroposophists before and since—to the British Isles, and soon thereafter to the United States, South Africa, Holland, and Scandina- via.

  • 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.

Editorial Editorial Dear members and friends of the Anthroposophical Society, The Anthroposophical Society is growing. By that we do not primarily mean the membership numbers which have remained largely steady in recent years – with the exception of countries outside Europe – but rather the char- acter of the Society. It is the human diversity, the spiritual yearnings and abil- ities of the members which have grown in dimension. It is because everyone who is active in the Anthroposophical Society today contributes their expe- rience and opportunities from varied cultural perspectives and different parts of the world to the Anthroposophical Society so that the life and way of work- ing within the Society is becoming more open and diverse.

SOCIAL THREEFOLDING IN RELATION TO RUDOLF STEINER’S MISSION The present essay explores the relationship between Steiner’s revela- tions on karma and reincarnation and his work on threefolding. I want to draw the attention of the reader first of all to the deep connection between these two themes. Following this, I endeavor to show that both teachings had a central role in Steiner’s life task, and that his own biography becomes more fully understandable when both are taken into account. Steiner’s personal unsparing investment in spreading the ideas of threefolding, and ensuring their realization to whatever extent possible, also becomes more fully understandable. In the book Rudolf Steiner’s Life Tasks in Relation to World Karma, I explored Steiner’s task in relation to that of Karl Julius Schröer.
