Newsletter Spring 2015 of the Eurythmy Association of Great Britain and Ireland Newsletter Spring 2015 of the Eurythmy Association of Great Britain and Ireland Editor: David MacGregor [email protected] Reflections from The Council It is around mid-day on Saturday the 13th of last December and we six members of the Council are converging on the Glasshouse in Stourbridge for lunch before beginning our meeting. It is as always joyful to see one another again but this time, especially a little later when we get down to business, it is odd and rather disorientating, even a little frightening, to realise that Michael’s guiding hand is no longer resting on that table with all our papers and lists.

  • 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.

  • Chapter Three a Call to Mindful Action
    Chapter Three A seed is planted … A Call to Mindful Action In this chapter I will trace the origins of Steiner Education in Europe, its context and its emergence in Australia. 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.

  • 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.

Wie können wir unserer Aufgabe gerecht werden, Schenkgeld zu akquirieren und dieses dann möglichst effektiv an die Initiativen weiterzuleiten, die sich an uns wenden? Wie können wir helfen, das mit einer Schenkung verbundene Anliegen so wirksam und nach- haltig wie möglich zu unterstützen?

    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.

  • Camphill Correspondence March/April 2005
    March/April 2005 CAMPHILL CORRESPONDENCE e Balinese have an essential concept of Wbalance. It’s the Tri Hita Karan, the con- cept of triple harmonious balance. The balance between God and humanity; humanity with itself; and humanity with the environment. This places us all in a universe of common understanding. It is not only nuclear bombs that have fallout. It is our job to minimize this fallout for our people and our guests from around the world. Who did this? This is not such an important question for us to discuss. Why this happened —maybe this is more worthy of thought. What can we do to create beauty from this tragedy and come to an understanding where nobody feels the need to make such a statement again? This is important. That is the basis from which we can embrace everyone as a brother, every- one as a sister. It’s a period of uncertainty, a period of change. It is also an opportunity for us to move together into a better future—a future where we embrace Mt. LeFroy, Lawren Harris all of humanity, in the knowledge that we all look and smell the same when we are burnt. Victims of this tragedy are from all over the world. The past is not signifi cant. It is the future that is important. This is the time to bring our values, our empathy, to society and the world at large. To care; to love. We want to return to our lives. Please help us realize this wish. Why seek retribution from people who are acting as they see fi t? These people are misguided from our point of view.
