Author Cynthia Hoven wisely states in the text (p. 27) "Because eurythmy is above all, a living, spiritual art, it is my experience that electronic media are very inadequate for expressing its power and authenticity. Likewise a book can never be a substitute for study with a living master." A book however, may emanate from an author's mind clearly and wholly in touch with the subject and spirit of the book's topic. and this is certainly the case with Hoven's text and the illustrations by Renée Parks. As a textual and visual introduction to eurythmy, it is a complement to the introductory lectures given by Steiner himself, whose discourse some might find at first round too abstract. Speaking as a student of esoteric paths, a lover languages and literature both ancient and modern, and as a practitioner of the Feldenkrais school of body work, I have been drawn to the art of eurythmy and the teachings of anthroposophy and am delighted to find such an appealing introduction. This book is the fruit of cultivating the roots of alphabetic sound through movement in silence, and within its limits has much to offer the mind receptive in the right manner. Cynthia Hoven has been working with Eurythmy for over 35 years. She began her studies in the sciences, however, gaining degrees in Science and Psychology with the intent of doing postgraduate work in Parapsychology. She interrupted her studies to travel the world. She spent two years traveling through Europe, the Middle East, India and Nepal, Indochina and Japan. Upon returning to the United States, she shifted her focus to work with the healing arts, and began her studies in Eurythmy, with the intention of doing postgraduate work in Therapeutic University. Completing these trainings in 1982, she worked in as many situations in Europe as possible, performing Eurythmy and practicing Therapeutic Eurythmy with psychiatric patients (Friedrich Husemann Klinik), children with special needs (Camphill Community), and general medicine (Ita Wegman Klinik). She returned to the US in 1983, where she joined with a medical doctor and others to co-found the Raphael Therapy Center for anthroposophical treatments in Sacramento, CA. She simultaneously sought collaborative opportunities for working with Rudolf Steiner College and with the Sacramento Waldorf School. To continue her deep commitment to eurythmy as a performing art, she co-founded the Sacramento Eurythmy Performing Group, and helped direct, organize and perform in tours throughout the west coast during the 1980's. Since the folding of the eurythmy training, Cynthia continues to teach eurythmy at Rudolf Steiner College, travels widely to teach adult and children's classes, and has an active eurythmy therapy practice. Her further spheres of interest include collaborative work with Impulse Youth Group, Oasis Games North America, playthecall, and many other ventures of cooperation and vision for serving the future of the planet by attending to deep spiritual, social and ecological values.
