All that you do, as well as all that you feel, is saturated with fear and its reverberations in the most im portant moments of life. And since fear is closely related to hatred, so hatred that plays a great part in your whole civilisation." Let us make this quite clear.

Whenever we were concerned to promulgate a world-conception and let action and "a path of knowledge, to guide the spiritual in the social life spring from it, the main thing was joy—joy which could human being to the spiritual in the universe be enhanced to the point of a complete giving of oneself in love to the world."

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.

  • Tintagel: in the Footsteps of Rudolf Steiner
    Tintagel: In the footsteps of Rudolf Steiner Dr John Paull john.paull[a]mail.com On his final visit to Britain, Rudolf Steiner’s schedule of lecturing was hectic. He delivered three lectures a day during the Anthroposophical Society’s Summer School at Torquay (11-22 August 1924) - but that is another story. Steiner took one day out of that busy schedule to be a tourist for a day. The decision took him as far west as he ever ventured in his lifetime - to the west cost of Cornwall. Tintagel is the legendary home of King Arthur, Merlin, the sword Excalibur, the Lady of the Lake, the Knights of the Round Table, Sir Lancelot, Queen Guinevere, and the court of Camelot. Ashley (2010) dates the Arthurian period as between 400-600 AD but there is no extant documentation to distinguish between myth, legend, and veridical history. Midway through the Torquay Summer School, on Sunday August 17th, Rudolf Steiner declared “I want to go to King Arthur” (Eleanor Merry, 1956, in Villeneuve, 2004, p.1051). A cavalcade of three cars ventured forth from the southern beachside resort town of Torquay, across the verdant moors of Dartmoor, to the spectacularly positioned Tintagel, on the west coast of Cornwall. The journey took them through the centre of Dartmoor to Tavistock, then across to Boscastle, and down to Tintagel (B, C & D in Figure 1). Although Villeneuve (2004, p.1052) states that it was a “50-mile journey”, it is today a drive of 69 miles and of two and a quarter hours. Eleanor Merry and D.N.

At the beginning of the twentieth century he founded an esoteric spiritual movement, anthroposophywith roots in German idealist philosophy and theosophy ; other influences include Goethean science and Rosicrucianism. In the first, more philosophically oriented phase of this movement, Steiner attempted to find a synthesis Old Freedom Train: A Waldorf Inspired Alphabet science and spirituality. In a second phase, beginning aroundhe began working collaboratively in a variety of artistic media, including drama, the movement arts developing a new artistic form, eurythmy and architecture, culminating in the building of the Goetheanuma cultural centre to house all the arts. Steiner advocated a form of ethical individualismto which he later brought a more explicitly spiritual approach. He based his epistemology on Johann Wolfgang Goethe 's world view, in which "Thinking… is no more and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear. Just as the eye perceives colours and the Old Freedom Train: A Waldorf Inspired Alphabet sounds, so thinking perceives ideas.

  • The Pioneers of Biodynamics in Great Britain: from Anthroposophic Farming to Organic Agriculture (1924-1940)
    Journal of Environment Protection and Sustainable Development Vol. 5, No. 4, 2019, pp. 138-145 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/jepsd ISSN: 2381-7739 (Print); ISSN: 2381-7747 (Online) The Pioneers of Biodynamics in Great Britain: From Anthroposophic Farming to Organic Agriculture (1924-1940) John Paull * Environment, Resources & Sustainability, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia Abstract Organic agriculture is the direct descendent of biodynamic agriculture; and biodynamic agriculture is the child of Dr Rudolf Steiner’s Agriculture Course presented at Koberwitz (now Kobierzyce, Poland) in 1924. Rudolf Steiner founded the Experimental Circle of Anthroposophic Farmers and Gardeners towards the end of that course. The task of the Experimental Circle was to test Steiner’s ‘hints’ for a new and sustainable agriculture, to find out what works, to publish the results, and to tell the world. Ehrenfried Pfeiffer published his book Bio-Dynamic Farming and Gardening in 1938, thereby fulfilling Steiner’s directive. Two years later, from Steiner’s characterisation of ‘the farm as an organism’, the British biodynamic farmer Lord Northbourne coined the term ‘organic farming’ and published his manifesto of organic agriculture, Look to the Land (1940). In the gestational period of biodynamics, 1924-1938, 43 individual Britons joined the Experimental Circle . Each received a copy of the Agriculture Course . Copies were numbered individually and inscribed with the name of the recipient. These 43 members were the pioneers of biodynamics and organics in Britain, and finally their names and locations are revealed. Of the 43 individuals, 11 received their Agricultural Course in German, 27 in English, and five received copies in both German and English; one couple shared a single copy.

  • In the Footsteps of Rudolf Steiner
    Torquay: In the Footsteps of Rudolf Steiner Dr John Paull Geography & Spatial Sciences University of Tasmania. [email protected] “We’re getting wonderful lectures, and interesting surroundings with many traditions” (Ita Wegman, 1924, in Villeneuve, 2004, p.1061). Torquay Town Hall interior (photo: J Paull). Rudolf Steiner was clearly in a rather mischievous mood when he wound up his Summer School in Torquay, England in 1924. His wry reflection on the insalubrious venue, the Torquay Town Hall, was that: “… some of the strength that lies in our friends’ will to organise such gatherings … has even been capable of paralysing the by no means occultly sympathetic or artistically inspiring atmosphere of this hall, for we have had no trouble in putting up with it” (22 August 1924, Torquay, in Steiner, 1998, p.281). Steiner declared that the very fact that they had “no trouble putting up” with the Torquay Town Hall was “a kind of indirect proof - as they say in mathematics - of how very successful this event has been” (p.281). In a similar vein, Steiner gently chastised friends absent from some of the eurythmy performances: Issue 125 Journal of BIODYNAMICS TASMANIA March 2018 !26 “I had the distinct impression that the physical bodies of anthroposophical friends were missing. Perhaps, I thought, this was a test to see whether one was capable of looking out for souls and spirits instead. So I looked around the hall for the spirits of our anthroposophical friends, and indeed found many - who were not there, despite the fact that they had been present at the lectures.
