Newsletter from the Section for the Arts of Eurythmy, Speech and Music titel 08.09.2002 12:03 Uhr Seite 4 Newsletter from the Section for the Arts of Eurythmy, Speech and Music Easter 2001 RbE34 08.09.2002 13:02 Uhr Seite 1 1 EDITORIAL Dear Readers, The mood of entering the new millennium is continuing; the tasks and demands will increase and probably get more difficult. All the more reason for a will to intensify, renew and work together! Are we discovering new beginning in our ways of working; are we seeking in a contempo- rary way active paths to the sources? The responsibility rests with us; we have to find in our- selves and through ourselves the way to the divine-spiritual in art – but that also means today to penetrate the artistic process and remain awake. A study of the twelve forms of the soul-body and of the seven states of being of the soul forms a part of the building stones for a new way of working, to the path searching for sub- stance – to the second chapter of eurythmy, as Rudolf Steiner calls it. This is part of the task which I have in mind on taking on the leadership of the Section. Of course, it is intended that here belong movement and perceiving, discussion and our finding of a way together in weekend events, and so on. As far as possible and corresponding to the needs, this should take place in all areas – eurythmy, the art of speech and acting, music and puppetry. We stand directly before «Eurythmy at School», Easter 2001, Education as an Art in all stages of life. From 5th –11th August, 2001, the Eurythmy Festival «Eurythmy: seeing – doing – expe- riencing» takes place. In April, 2001, we would like to devote time with the speakers and actors to the practical working on the soul-forms. In October, 2001, and in February, 2002, three eurythmy project-groups meet at the Goetheanum. For Easter, 2002, we would like to meet for an international eurythmy working-conference. This is but an initial preview; the indi- vidual events will also be announced in the Newsletter. Something to consider: What do you think if a Newsletter with a contents of «Articles, Obit- uaries and Special Contributions» were to appear once a year? Alongside this an edition with short reports and announcements could appear twice a year, which would be ordered by pay- ing a subscription. Or else we remain with the biannual rhythm, but will have to make a fee for publishing all announcements. Once more there has been a shift in the amount of con- tributions, with the result that articles and several interesting things have had to be left out, since the announcements have to be included being subject to dates and the issue cannot become over-large because of printing costs and p & p. We have to solve this problem. Please write in, expressing your views. We would like once again most warmly to thank for your contributions, nearly all of which now arrive in a typed form. To ease processing the contributions, we would be very grateful if you would send texts in the form of a disk or by e-mail. For this we now have a direct e-mail address for the Newsletter:[email protected]. Please send enclosed documents as Word files, as rtf-files or text file (with a note explaining in which programme the text was created), or simply place it in the e-mail itself. With warm wishes, PS: A review of the work of the last ten years of the Section led by Dr. Virginia Sease will appear in the Michaelmas edition.

All the parents of little children, students and friends of Waldorf Education who are interested in a deeper understanding of child development will find in this book guide lines for The Study oj Man. It was Elizabeth Grunelius who first suggested compiling the following excerpts from Rudolf Steiner's books and lectures. Already in the early twenties she asked Rudolf Steiner for suggestions on pre-school education, and founded the very first Waldorf Kindergarten in Stuttgart. We are happy to publish this collection in time for the 50th anniversary of Waldorf education in England. It is advisable to read the quoted passages in the context of the whole lecture. Unfortunately some of Rudolf Steiner's lectures on education have not yet been translated. The books and lectures we quote have all been translated into English. Other books about the education of the child are: • Francis Edmunds, Rudolf Steiner Education: The Waldorf Schools, Rudolf Steiner College Press and Rudolf Steiner Press.

  • 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.

  • Dearest Community, April Issue – 2020
    Dearest Community, April Issue – 2020 Yes, this is the first time I have addressed you as such! Our perspectives are indeed widening and warming - paradoxically through the limitations and deepest con- cerns set upon us! I believe many, if not all, of us feel challenged to awaken and to take action in these times we are experiencing at this moment. I know that Anthroposophy has given us tools with which to face these situations and to act. I am sure that in attempting to meet the challenges, we can take great steps in our work, both individually and together. Noticeably, I hear the call that rings out from Goethe’s tale The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily: “The Time is at Hand!”. This tale lends me guidance and I here share some of its images, hoping that, even if you do not know the tale, they may still speak to you. * An image that I have never noticed before (right at the end of the story) gives us a strong warning. When de- scribing the risen Temple and the niche where the Mixed King has now crumbled (as a fallen King of all that retards us), this niche had to be hidden behind a curtain “...which no eye can penetrate, and no hand dare draw aside. For otherwise the crowding multitude would have found no end to their gazing and admiration con- tained there, and would have even suffocated one an- other in the Temple, had not there attention been again attracted to the open space.” I hear in these words a deep warning that we need to take care of where we place our attention, not to the lure or fears of a “fallen materi- alistic realm” but rather to the new space, a risen space, an open space.

    JAHRESBERICHT 2020 PERSPEKTIVEN, DIE INSPIRIEREN TITELBILD Kindliches Staunen über die Welt JAHRESBERICHT 2020 2 EDITORIAL Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe Freundinnen und Freunde der MAHLE-STIFTUNG, ist es nicht naheliegend, sich in Krisenzeiten voll und ganz mit der Bewältigung der Situation zu beschäftigen? Das ist mit Sicherheit der Fall – sollten wir jedoch nicht gerade auch jetzt darüber nachdenken, wie wir in Zukunft nicht nur leben wollen, sondern auch leben können? Ein vielfach kolportierter geflügelter Satz sagt, dass wir „in einer Gesellschaft leben (sollen), nicht in einer Wirt- schaft“. Und doch macht spätestens die spätmittelalter- liche Agrarkrise deutlich, wie die ganze Gesellschaft durch strukturelle Probleme der Wirtschaft (damals: die Leibeigenschaft) und eine gleichzeitige Epidemie (die Pest) in massive Schwierigkeiten geraten kann. Sich mit nachhaltigen Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten für die Menschen auf diesem Planeten zu beschäftigen, scheint also durchaus geboten. Im Förderspektrum der MAHLE-STIFTUNG geht es schon immer darum, Projekte zu unterstützen, die das zukünftig Richtige und Wichtige erahnen oder zumin- dest Wege beschreiten, die in diese Richtung führen. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich, wie unsere Partner in Brasilien und die dortigen zivilgesellschaftlichen Initiativen mit Engagement und vor allem mit Zuver- Mein Dank gilt wie immer allen Beteiligten, die die sicht der Coronakrise begegnen. Und das in einem Tätigkeit der MAHLE-STIFTUNG möglich machen und Land, dessen soziale Ungleichheit, dessen medizinische damit – gerade in Corona-Zeiten – viele außergewöhn- Unterversorgung mancher Bevölkerungsschichten wir liche Projektideen mit Leben füllen; vor allem den hier in Deutschland kaum ermessen können. Besonders Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern sowie der Leitung bemerkenswert finde ich, dass die Menschen, trotz des MAHLE Konzerns, die unter schwierigen wirtschaft- aller Widrigkeiten vor Ort, sich den festen Glauben lichen Bedingungen ihr Bestes geben.

  • 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.
