From out of the ash destructive fires, sprouting seeds and green shoots emerge. (Korobacz 1988:1) I gaze out onto the street. It is unusually empty and quiet. Nothing is happening. Not even the dogs are barking. I am in Ubud and its Nyepi day on the Balinese religious calendar. On Nyepi the world expected to be clean and everything starts anew, with human beings demonstrating their symbolic control over themselves and the life force of the world. I had arrived on the eve of the festival unprepared. Even the automatic tellers were closed and there was nothing to eat. Fortunately food had been prepared the previous day and a simple nasi goreng (fried rice) was brought up to me for breakfast. What to do? I organise my writing table, I may as well commence work. I look out over the straw-coloured rice fields. Not a working duck in sight! A breeze ripples over the stooped and heavy-laden heads of rice. Over and against this peaceful scene I contemplate the chaos and turmoil in the Europe at the time my parents were born. Following the Armistice of November 11 1918 and the ensuing collapse of the Central Powers and with the Allied blockade still in effect, economic and social chaos ensued. In Germany, the growing ranks of the unemployed were swelled by the return of disgruntled soldiers from the Western Front and because of hunger and destitution, 114 many were driven to join active revolutionaries of many persuasions, of the right and left.

  • 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.

  • Eurythmy in Motion
    Eurythmy in Motion A broadening initiative CAROLINE WESTLAKE, KATHERINE BEAVEN AND ROZANNE HARTMANN ‘Eurythmy in Motion’ is an extended approach to the use of therapeutic eurythmy. Building on the work of Rudolf Steiner, this new initiative has been born out of the cooperation between doctors and therapeutic eurythmists with the nature spirit named Etschewit who has collaborated intensively with human beings. This work has been mediated through the spiritual perception of Verena Stael von Holstein.1 All the given indications and exercises have been thoroughly discussed, developed and tested by different anthroposophical doctors and eurythmy therapists. The spirit and nature beings are helpers, but it is human beings who take up the insights and exercises of their own free will and must make decisions, gain experience, work the exercises out and give them form. Dutch eurythmist Wieger Veerman met this work in 2012, six years after it had begun, and has been instrumental in its further development. He now leads a training course in Holland. He writes, “Since 2006 a number of anthroposophical doctors and eurythmists have been in touch with Verena Stael von Holstein. She is able to communicate with beings from the elemental spiritual world and has been doing this in a very convincing and devoted way for many years. Verena Stael von Holstein is not a medium, she’s not channelling. Through many years of practice, she is able to hear the ‘etheric universal language’ and simultaneously translate it into German.” The need for a new impulse grows out of the fact that human beings develop and change and their illnesses change.

  • The Dignity of the Human Body
    The dignity of the human body External treatments in the practice and research of Anthroposophic Medicine 17.09. to 20.09.2015 International annual conference of the Medical Section at the Goetheanum It could be that a threefold sequences of facts will cause the medical approach with a greater materialistic outlook to turn towards the one with a greater spiritual scientific orientation […]. It will happen in the observation of all those things connected with the development of growths, and specifically their possible cure. And it will come to appearance in a truly rational understanding of the so-called mental illnesses, and then in the therapeutic knowledge which will have to be acquired for the use of external methods, that is rhythmical Einreibungen, the application of ointments and similar things. Rudolf Steiner, GA 312, Lecture of 2 April 1920 2 The dignity of the human body The dignity of the human body – External treatments in the practice and research of anthroposophic medicine External treatments such as baths, washing, compresses, wraps, rhythmical Einreibungen or massages are a central element of anthroposophic medicine and its integrative system. They act via the skin in which the human spiritual and soul being awakens in the nervous and sensory system to the differentiated perception of touch, warmth and cold. On the other hand we know about differentiated metabolic and regenerative functions of the skin which take place unconsciously. Blushing or turning pale, and thus the changing colour of the skin, is conveyed by the rhythmical system. External treatments can directly influence the structure of the human component elements disrupted by illness.
