  • The Kairos Eurythmy Training Programme
    THE KAIROS at the EURYTHMY Centre for Creative TRAINING Education PROGRAMME November 2014 Our Dear Friends, Once again we can look back on a rich and full year with manifold activities in our Kairos Eurythmy Training. We are very grateful for the support you give in thoughts, in being with us, and in your financial assistance, without you, we could not do our work and build this seed for a ‘humanity education’ which this training truly endeavours to provide. This year the Centre for Creative Education celebrated its 21 st birthday! How wonderful that this organisation has been training teachers for 21 years, who have gone out into the world and are now bringing this inspiring artistically based anthroposophical education into both Waldorf and State schools in classrooms here in South Africa and abroad. We at the Kairos Eurythmy Training are 16 years old and are delighted to soon see our 7 th graduating class spreading their Eurythmy wings on their chosen paths – the artistic healing forces will accompany all of them as far as the Philippines! Being a birthday year, we see our highlights as special gives and blessings! We were invited to participate in Cape Town’s annual Baxter Dance Festival, a major event in South Africa’s dance world. Many streams and genres of contemporary dance were presented. We brought a programme filled with music and speech Eurythmy entitled Come Hope with Me. This was a great opportunity for Eurythmy to meet the world and judging by the enthusiastic, warm response and comments like “what an amazing, unique, universal dance!” and … “we should see more of it.” We hope and trust that the Eurythmy touched many souls in the auditorium.
