CC Nov Dec 2018.Spub November/December 2018 CAMPHILL CORRESPONDENCE “Rose“ circa 1947 by Shirley Seagren Schwartz (1929-2007) Let us move now from the practical how to the theoretical why: Why should we love our enemies? The first reason is fairly obvious. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction. So when Jesus says, "love your enemies," he is setting forth a profound and ultimately inescapable admonition. Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies—or else? The chain reaction of evil—hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars—must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation. By Martin Luther King.

Please spread this invitation with your communities! 2 Advent: this Season of the Refugee by Adam Hewitt, editor As is well known in the Camphill Community, on December 14, 1833, right in the middle of the Advent Season, Kaspar Hauser, the homeless refugee, the “Child of Europe,” was attacked and stabbed in the Ansbach Court Garden, in Germany. He died three days later, on December 17. Advent is the season of hope, looking forward to the birth of the Christ in the human soul, but it is also Arnovis Guidos Portillo the season of significant world events, even if obscure and frequently violent, as the death of Kaspar Hauser tells us. Without going into the In the Gospels an archetypal picture presents itself mysterious and dark circumstances of his death, or to us, which speaks to us today in ever more urgent his identity, we can say this: an innocent and poor and insistent tones. The mother of the Savior of the man, whose life was taken from him became an World rides a donkey, or, we can suppose, archetype of the innocent human soul under siege frequently walks, over a rocky and harsh terrain, by dark and malevolent powers. This is also the toward a purpose and destination of which she Advent story, to which we must awaken in our times. herself, we might imagine, is quite unsure.

It’s my belief we somewhere, anywhere, just not back to the killing have a role to play now and in the future for the fields they have left behind. The Savior’s family was healing of what ails this suffering earth. Meanwhile, not even in such trouble or desperation as millions this Advent season, we watch and pray. are today, in this season of 2018. 3 Living With Asperger’s Syndrome By Joan Hill I attended the recent presentation at the hall “My when I think someone is mad at me) I have what is Life on the Spectrum: A Tuneful Rally” by Dane called a meltdown.

  • Newsletter from the Performing Arts Section
    Newsletter from the Performing Arts Section Easter 2015 FOREWORD Dear newsletter readers, dear colleagues I started as the new head of the Section for the Performing Arts in January. This means that I now have the opportunity to meet people, to get to know initiatives and to take a new look at many situations. I am eager to see what will develop and curious to discover more about the quality of Section life, whether individuals in their own community feel that their work is part of the Section or not and what kind of collaboration and support is needed today. In any case I want to ask all of you to get in touch at any time to let me know your suggestions, your wishes and requests, your criticisms: I am simply curious! Every ‘newbie’ is also given the opportunity to question the status quo in a quite new and perhaps ‘stupid’ way, so I am letting you know that the newsletter from the next issue will change in appearance. In exchange with Silke Kollewijn, Hanna Koskinen, Michael Kurtz and Marcel Sorge we have for now come to the following decisions: The newsletter will continue to contain: • substantial contributions relating to aspects of eurythmy, Creative Speech and music • reports with a broad, long-term perspective (and that will therefore still be of interest in years to come) • some biographies of those who have died • current discussions on themes relating to specific subjects • questions about the Section: what are the different ideas of the Section? How does the Section live? What can we share with each other on this theme in the forum that this newsletter offers? The newsletter will no longer contain: • appointments and announcements.

    MOTIVE AUS DER ANTHROPOSOPHISCHEN ARBEIT IN NRW NUMMER 13 | SEPTEMBER 2015 Alexander Schaumann Materie und Geist Im Gespräch mit Volker Harlan Neben vielen Anderen war es nicht zuletzt Volker Harlan, der zur Ausstrah- lung des anthroposophischen Bochum beigetragen hat. Von ihm ist eine Reihe von Büchern erschienen – über die Pflanzengestalt in Kunst und Wissenschaft, über Beuys und über die Substanzen des Taufsakraments der Christengemeinschaft. Nicht zuletzt aber dürfte all denen, die ihn selbst erlebt haben, die unvergleichliche Darstellungskunst seiner Vorträge in Erinnerung geblieben sein. Anschaulich bis ins Detail fühlte man sich zu neuer Aufmerksamkeit aufgerufen. Die Welt wurde interessant und man merkte, dass man selbst noch nie so recht hingesehen hatte. › Meine erste Begegnung mit ihm hat früh stattgefunden. 1968 auf Bezug auf seine Jugend spricht er von Erweckungen.

    titel 08.09.2002 12:13 Uhr Seite 4 Newsletter from the Section for the Arts of Eurythmy, Speech and Music Easter 1999 1 EDITORIAL Dear Readers The 30th Newsletter appears at Easter 1999, for the first world-wide Section Conference for eurythmists, speech artists and musicians. There are many voices who have reacted favourably to the new form of the Newsletter, but there are naturally also some voices criti- cal of the new attempt. The Stage Forum is not quite running as we would wish, with many topical contributions and interviews which promote meetings and exchange. For this it needs the on-the-spot help–do you not wish to conduct an interview with someone responsible for a performance or a project? Some very significant and most varying contributions are included, which face contempo- rary problems in the different realms of our Section. The intention to collect several contributions for the 50th anniversary of Marie Steiner’s death, appraising the basis and achievements of Marie Steiner for the Section, was not seen as possible. This has been written about in all the journals, in articles in which Marie Steiner’s contribution in all realms was honoured. We would have been simply repeating. The book by Wilfred Hammacher, Marie Steiner–Lebenspuren einer Individualität (‘Marie Steiner–the life-path of an individuality’), presents a comprehensive picture of this remark- able personality who stood at Rudolf Steiner’s side. The Section Conference promises to bring to visibility much that lives unnoticed in the Section. The meeting of the arts, the common tasks and questions, the mutual support, can motivate us.
