Wednesday 10 September6.30pm - 9.30pm
Join Farmacy and five of the UK’s most exciting fermentation authors — James Read, Sam Cooper, Johnny Drain, Kenji Morimoto and Robin Sherriff — for a lively panel on the strange, wonderful world of microbes. Expect sharp insights, surprising stories, and a good dose of friendly chaos.
Dr Johnny Drain, Host
Book: Adventures in Fermentation
Awarded doctorate in material science from Oxford, Drain brings an extraordinary depth of knowledge to the study and practice of fermentation. He has worked closely with Mr Lyan and Silo to develop their fermentation programmes and is the founder of WinWin, a brand that offers an upcycled alternative to cacao. Drain is also the editor of Mold magazine and is reported to be an all round good egg.
Sam Cooper, Speaker
Book: The Fermentation Kitchen
Cooper is a former chef of 19 years who has been fermenting for over a decade. Now based on a farm in West Wales, he grows rare crops to build seed stocks and keep food traditions alive, while continuing to teach growing, cooking, and fermenting food. Through video, writing, and a weekly newsletter, he champions fermentation as a vital domestic craft. He is also the author of several books, including a number one Sunday Times bestseller.
James Read, Speaker
Book: Of Cabbages & Kimchi: A Practical Guide to the World of Fermented Food
James is a food writer and founder of Kim Kong Kimchi. While moonlighting from his day job as a journalist he developed a cauliflower kimchi “vegan zombie brains” for a pop-up Halloween restaurant. This awoke something in him; as his company has gone from hand delivery to Ocado, he’s built his own walk-in remotely-monitored fermentarium, compiled an array of fizz-related spreadsheets, written Of Cabbages & Kimchi and spoken to audiences from London to Copenhagen on the wonders of fermented food. He's happiest reading research papers on microbiota, hunting out ingredient origin myths and running A/B tests on fermenting pineapple cores.
Kenji Morimoto, Speaker
Book: Ferment
Kenji is a food writer and content creator with a special fondness for pickles and fermentation, drawing inspiration from family traditions and global food cultures. Recognized as a finalist for BBC Food and Farming Creator of the Year (2023) and Fortnum & Mason Rising Star Content Creator (2025), he writes regularly for Guardian Feast, appears on BBC Saturday Kitchen, and works with Ottolenghi and his test kitchen, including a sold-out week-long residency at ROVI.
Robin Sherriff, Speaker
Book: The Science of Fermentation
Robin Sherriff studied Chemistry & Biology before exploring diverse roles from park ranger to bar manager. With an MSc in Gastronomy, he delved into food systems, writing his thesis on Japanese whisky philosophy. In 2020, he founded The Koji Kitchen, and in 2021 initiated The Fermenters Guild UK. Offering workshops and consultations, he shares expertise in fermentation techniques and alternative foodways. His first book ‘The Science of Fermentation’ will be released globally in October. In 2025, he co-founded Slow Sauce, Scotland’s first miso and shoyu brewery.

Saturday 27 September5pm - 6.30pm
Talk and Book Lauch with Julie Lam
Join us in Rudolf Steiner Bookshop for an inspiring evening with Julie Lam as she shares insights from her new book exploring how childhood development shapes our lifelong capacity for authentic connection.
About the Book:
From The Heart of Childhood takes readers on a profound journey through the three phases of childhood development: Truth in the Body (0-7 years), Beauty in the Soul (7-14 years), and Goodness in the Spirit (14-21 years). Drawing from decades of experience, Julie reveals how understanding these stages can heal the wounds and patterns that hold us back, transforming our relationships with ourselves and others. Blending personal stories, practical reflections, and guided meditations, she offers a pathway back to presence, wonder, and the art of deep listening.
Julie Lam
Julie Lam is a mother of four, grandmother, mentor, and founder of Highgate House School in Hong Kong, where she pioneered a nurturing approach to early childhood education that honours each individual’s unique developmental journey. She is trained in Steiner Waldorf education, Pikler approaches, therapeutic play, and counselling, as well as in Compassionate Inquiry developed by Dr. Gabor Maté. Julie also guides people in finding their authentic voice through listening and speaking circles, creating spaces for deep presence and truth-telling.
With over four decades supporting hundreds of families and individuals, Julie now focuses on creating Listening Sanctuaries—sacred spaces where anyone seeking deeper connection can return to their inner wisdom and live more joy-filled, wholehearted lives. Her passion is to pass on these skills of deep listening and presence so that this healing art continues to grow in the world.
This evening offers an opportunity to rediscover childhood’s essential wisdom and deepen your capacity for presence, wonder, and genuine human connection. Julie will be available to sign books at the event.
Books will also be available for purchase.
Free entry. Limited places. To book a place in advance please email Rudolf Steiner Bookshop at rsh-bookshop@anth.org.uk or ring the bookshop on 0207 724 7699. Spaces are also availabe on the night.

Sunday 28 September2pm - 5pm
with Dr Sue Peat and Douglas Davidson
Biodynamics is an organic method of cultivation arising out of Rudolf Steiner’s Spiritual research. It was his response to questions from farmers who were unhappy with ‘chemical’ agriculture. Biodynamics works with the rhythms of the movements of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars, to which the plants respond. The workshop will cover the background of the biodynamic planting calendar and using the biodynamic preparations. It’s Autumn, a time to harvest, enjoy the changing colours and plan for next year. The workshop will include presentations of research that demonstrate the benefits that biodynamics brings to the environment, the soil, the plants and to improvements in food quality.
For the last hour, we’ll stir the horn manure preparation (known as 500), so bring an empty screw top bottle if you would like to take some home. A 500ml bottle is enough for an average garden. The workshop is suitable for those new to biodynamics and for anyone who would like to give their garden, window boxes or house plants a winter treat!
Sue and Douglas are enthusiastic gardeners with lots of practical experience in biodynamic gardening.
All are welcome, no need to book.
Full £10, Concession £5

with Trevor Dance
In these very accessible lectures, Steiner deals with the subtle effects of spiritual development at every level from straightforward investigations of the effects on spiritual seekers of coffee, tea and foodstuffs through to the universe of anthroposophical spiritual striving and the human being in relation to the forces of Ahriman and Lucifer.

Our reading groups provide the opportunity in a very informal setting to explore Rudolf Steiner’s work with others. There is no need for any prior participation or knowledge, and everyone, young and old, is very welcome to join us at any time, just once or as often as it suits. We aim to create a friendly, inviting atmosphere, as good humoured as it is serious. Working together, we share our reflections on the immediate theme and try to pay as much attention to listening as to speaking. We find that studying together provides a wonderful opportunity for the whole group to advance in knowledge and understanding. Members and friends are warmly invited to groups at any time even for one-off visits. Previous participation is not necessary and there is no need to book.

Friday 10 October7pm - 8.30pm
with Peter van Breda
August Make and Franz Marc were close friends in a new artistic endeavour at the turn of the 20th century. In their work they brought colour and form to life with an unforgettable radiance. They both tragically died in the 1st World War and leave us an astonishing legacy with which to work.
History of Art has remained an innovative companion for Peter for over 50 years. A course given by William (Mucky) Mann, at Emerson College led him to recognise that art through the ages can offer a direct indication of the phases of consciousness through which we have evolved.

Friday 10 October7.30pm - 9pm
Lecture and Performance by Steffen Hartmann
What can we make of spiritual experiences? Do they happen to us, or are they invented by us? How can we distinguish between reality and illusion in such perceptions? Can there be a scientific basis for approaching this issue?
Steffen Hartmann has addressed this question directly and will show how the anthroposophical path of personal development begins with pure thought and meditation, and ends in spiritual experience - the ability to access, as conscious, mindful individuals, the realm of angelic beings.
Steffen Hartmann (b.1976) has accompanied Elisabeth Schwarzkopf on the piano, and worked closely with the soprano Marret Winger. In 2007 he founded the MenschMusik Insitute in Hamburg with Matthias Bölts. He has followed an inner meditative path based on anthroposophy since 1997 and has worked as a teacher of meditation. He founded the publishing house Edition Widar with Torben Maiwald, and has led the Rudolf Steiner Haus Hamburg branch of the Anthroposophical Society since 2012. He is also the author of many books including “The Michael Prophecy and the Years 2012-2033” (2020), and holds lectures and conducts seminars and concerts worldwide.
£15 cash on the door.
For further information please call Alex Wright on 01342 827967
On this UK mini-tour Steffen will lecture at Emerson College on the evening of Saturday 11th October, and both lecture and perform at the Christian Community in Stroud on the afternoon of Sunday 12th October.
His new book, “Angel Thinking - Consciousness, Meditation and Human Destiny” will be published by Temple Lodge on 21st April 2025.

Monday 13 October7pm - 8.30pm
with Dr Sue Peat and Adrian Hotten
We will be continuing to read and discuss Theosophy, which is one of Rudolf Steiner’s fundamental and foundational books, published in 1904.
It begins by describing the threefold nature of the human being: the body, or sense-world; the soul, or inner world; and the spirit, or universal world of cosmic archetypes. A profound discussion of reincarnation and karma follows, concluding with a description of the soul's journey through regions of the supersensible world after death. The book closes with an outline of the path to higher knowledge.
Copies of the book are readily available both new and pre-loved, and it is also available on the Rudolf Steiner Archive website.
All are welcome to join us for any, or all, of these meetings. Previous knowledge of Rudolf Steiners’ work is not expected or required.
All our meetings are free. Donations towards expenses are gratefully received.

Wednesday 15 October4.15pm - 5.45pm
with Debbie Elliott
This book was written by Rudolf Steiner. Steiner wrote about this book; “The title Christianity as Mystical Fact was one I gave to this work eight years ago, when I gathered together the content of lectures given in 1902. It was meant to indicate the special approach adopted in the book. Its theme is not just the mystical side of Christianity in a historical presentation. It was meant to show, from the standpoint of a mystical awareness, how Christianity came into being.”

Our reading groups provide the opportunity in a very informal setting to explore Rudolf Steiner’s work with others. There is no need for any prior participation or knowledge, and everyone, young and old, is very welcome to join us at any time, just once or as often as it suits. We aim to create a friendly, inviting atmosphere, as good humoured as it is serious. Working together, we share our reflections on the immediate theme and try to pay as much attention to listening as to speaking. We find that studying together provides a wonderful opportunity for the whole group to advance in knowledge and understanding. Members and friends are warmly invited to groups at any time even for one-off visits. Previous participation is not necessary and there is no need to book.

with Howard Smith
Mention of the mythical ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ goes back at least as far as 300AD, but practical efforts to try and make it began in the Middle Ages. It was a stone yet not a stone, it is nowhere yet everywhere, a tincture, a means of making gold, of healing, of prolonging life. It also figures in Rosicrucian training. What is the truth of this mysterious ‘Stone’?
Howard is a life-long student of Anthroposophy and has a PhD in Chemistry and founded the Science Group of the ASGB. He believes that modern chemists are the alchemists of today.

This seminar will be an opportunity to explore Hilma af Klint’s destiny with anthroposophy. Her tireless search and what she encountered in Dornach are easily overlooked in the popular acclaim her work has had in several recent publications and exhibitions. After meeting Rudolf Steiner and encountering the wet-on-wet painting technique, Hilma af Klint embarked on a new direction, both in content and style. This last phase of her tireless exploring opened a new dimension for her continuing striving. The many diverse fields of Hilma af Klint’s artistic endeavours, the changing collaborative constellations, and the different sources of her inspiration were all integral to the questing of her free and honest spirit. Anne Weise from The Rudolf Steiner Archive in Dornach will give two illustrated lectures on this development in Hilma af Klint's work, and Mary-Anne Paterson will offer a painting workshop on the wet-on-wet technique.

with Dr Sue Peat and Adrian Hotten
We will be continuing to read and discuss Theosophy, which is one of Rudolf Steiner’s fundamental and foundational books, published in 1904.
It begins by describing the threefold nature of the human being: the body, or sense-world; the soul, or inner world; and the spirit, or universal world of cosmic archetypes. A profound discussion of reincarnation and karma follows, concluding with a description of the soul's journey through regions of the supersensible world after death. The book closes with an outline of the path to higher knowledge.
Copies of the book are readily available both new and pre-loved, and it is also available on the Rudolf Steiner Archive website.
All are welcome to join us for any, or all, of these meetings. Previous knowledge of Rudolf Steiners’ work is not expected or required.

This book was written by Rudolf Steiner. Steiner wrote about this book; “The title Christianity as Mystical Fact was one I gave to this work eight years ago, when I gathered together the content of lectures given in 1902. It was meant to indicate the special approach adopted in the book. Its theme is not just the mystical side of Christianity in a historical presentation. It was meant to show, from the standpoint of a mystical awareness, how Christianity came into being.”

Talk and Conversation with Erika Žagar
Children who are in touch with dragons, fairies, mermaids and angels can save our world endangered by pollution and war. Erika Žagar, author of spiritual adventure books, portrays young people who travel bravely through enchanted worlds to triumph over evil forces against which adults are powerless. Through their heroic feats, they grow into confident young people after troubled early childhoods. Erika makes a plea for humanity to live on a more spiritual plane. One of her books is on the syllabus of a Waldorf school in her home country, Slovenia.
Join us in Rudolf Steiner Bookshop for a rare visit and talk and conversation with Erika Žagar.
Erika Žagar writes spiritual adventure books for children. Her young heroes venture into fantastic worlds of enchanted lakes, magic mountains and underwater kingdoms lit by swirling myriad colours. Her young characters have troubled backgrounds, but they find happiness and become heroes by saving the world from human pollution, wars and cruelty. Assisting them are dragons, mermaids, leprechauns, fairies, mysterious guardians of woods and Poseidon, King of the Underwater World. With their capacity to relate to the magic world, children emerge as saviours of our society and our planet. Living in Slovenia, Erika is a doctor by profession, specialising in bio-resonance treatments. Her books are originally in Slovene and the following books are already translated into English - Poseidon's Underwater School; Sleeping Knights; and Itaia and the Fire Dragon.

Talk and Book Launch with Marko Pogačnik
The power of love is not just a human privilege. It is a universal quality that links together all the elemental beings of nature in a permanent unity and choreography. What are the potentials of the human heart system that would enable us to perceive and join in the dance of universal love instead of resigning ourselves to it or even going to war all the time? The dramatic situation of the present epoch demands that we listen to the subtle shifts within the body of the Earth and within our own bodies. In this talk Marko Pogačnik introduces his experiences of the recent reappearance of the Love Sphere of the Earth, an etheric counterpart to the biosphere.
Join us for this visit from Marko and the launch of his new book, The Love Sphere of the Earth: Awakening the Nuclear Power of the Heart, published by Lindisfarne Books (2025). After the talk there will be the opportunity to purchase the book with a book signing.
MARKO POGAČNIK is a Slovenian artist and author of international renown. Since 2005, he has dedicated much of his work to creating Geopuncture Circles, a world - wide lithopuncture project to enhance communication with the Earth consciousness that he creates together with his international colleagues. He has written a number of books on spirituality and Earth healing including Gaia’s Quantum Leap, The Universe of the Human Body, Dancing with the Earth Changes, and Creating Gaia Culture. In 2016, he was appointed UNESCO Artist for Peace and is a member of the TRANS-4-M Global Wisdom Council.

A talk with meditation exercises and discussion by Inessa Burdich
Inessa will share some of her personal journey with meditation and research projects. We will then delve into the crucial challenges of the present, exploring the hidden spiritual battles that underlie the material world, as understood through Anthroposophy. Drawing on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, the presentation will address the concealed issues between materialism and spirituality, offering insights into how inner development through meditation and “cleansing” of negativity in our personal biography can serve as a powerful tool for personal development. This can enable us to be able to make a practical and positive contribution to transforming the pressing concerns of our time.
Spiritual Science Research represents a further advancement of personal meditative work, distinguishing itself by its systematic investigation. Research or contemplative inquiry extends into a diligent quest for knowledge of the higher worlds, exploring both the inner self and the external world. Through this relentless pursuit of researching, individuals are empowered to navigate modern problems and contribute meaningfully to the renewal of the world.
Participants will be invited to join in meditative exercise to deepen their understanding of the themes addressed during the presentation. Additionally, an overview of the Spiritual Science Research course will be given. We will conclude with a Q&A session to further explore the insights presented.

This is an introduction talk to the Spiritual Science Research course which will run on Sundays at Rudolf Steiner House from Sunday 16th November.

Talk & Workshop with Inessa Burdich
TALK – Meditation as a path of spiritual development and as a research method.
Meditation has recently become an increasingly popular subject but is described and applied in many different ways. So what is it? In this talk, we will explore meditation as a way to nourish and train our soul in a similar way that food and physical exercise are daily necessities for us.
Moreover, you will learn that meditation can also be used as a tool for spiritual research over a wide range of areas.
Focusing on an inner core question is the first aspect of spiritual research and creating a clear content-less inner space is a crucial requirement for it. Achieving these aspects gives the higher worlds the possibility to provide clear insights concerning the research topic.
WORKSHOP – How to control your thoughts
In this workshop, we will discover and apply practical exercises to deepen the topic of the talk. This will be a space to explore the value and practice of meditation as a training and research process. Subjects covered include the following.
- Practising thought concentration;
- Experiencing and researching qualities of stability and confidence;
- Exploring the connection between our physical body and our I-presence;
- Weleda products research.
This practical workshop aims to help us to recognise our subtle bodies. The starting point in this is developing the ability to have a clear mind and above all strengthening your “I” (true self) so that it is in control of your mind. Specifically Western methods of strengthening are used rather than Eastern methods of receptivity, and practices are taught which can form the basis of an effective and safe spiritual path.
This day course is theme 1 of a 7 part course, each theme of which can be taken independently. The course has run since 2019, has been taken by more than 400 participants, and is currently facilitated in six languages. At each meeting we immerse ourselves in the world of supersensible ideas, principles, and phenomena that are presented in talks, which are then deepened in workshops where we perform Anthroposophical meditations as well as research and perception exercises.
The Spiritual Science Research course consists of seven themes arranged over seven Sundays. Further themes are:
2: The Etheric realm (vital forces) in human beings and nature (8 March 2026)
3: The Astral realm (emotional forces) in human beings and nature (17 May 2026)
4: Dimensions of the sense of Self (I-manifestation). (t.b.a)
5. The Spiritual parts of the human constitution: Spirit Self, Life Spirit, Spirit Man. (t.b.a)
6. The Soul parts of the human constitution. (t.b.a)
7. Mechanics of the Mind and Empty Consciousness. (t.b.a)
Timetable:
Sundays: 9.30 am – 6.30 pm in the Eurythmy room at Rudolf Steiner House, 35 Park Rd, London NW1 6XT, United Kingdom
Standard price for one theme: £95
The course themes build on each other but can also be attended individually and are self-contained. It is also possible to participate in one, two or several weekends.

We will be continuing to read and discuss Theosophy, which is one of Rudolf Steiner’s fundamental and foundational books, published in 1904.
It begins by describing the threefold nature of the human being: the body, or sense-world; the soul, or inner world; and the spirit, or universal world of cosmic archetypes. A profound discussion of reincarnation and karma follows, concluding with a description of the soul's journey through regions of the supersensible world after death. The book closes with an outline of the path to higher knowledge.
Copies of the book are readily available both new and pre-loved, and it is also available on the Rudolf Steiner Archive website.
All are welcome to join us for any, or all, of these meetings. Previous knowledge of Rudolf Steiners’ work is not expected or required.

This book was written by Rudolf Steiner. Steiner wrote about this book; “The title Christianity as Mystical Fact was one I gave to this work eight years ago, when I gathered together the content of lectures given in 1902. It was meant to indicate the special approach adopted in the book. Its theme is not just the mystical side of Christianity in a historical presentation. It was meant to show, from the standpoint of a mystical awareness, how Christianity came into being.”

Are Thoresen is a Norwegian veterinarian, therapist, healer and spiritual investigator. Over the last few years, he has investigated deeply the boundary between the material world and the spiritual worlds beyond. In this weekend, Are will describe the four gates which are open to travellers into the spiritual world today (Sun, Elements, Death and Love or Light). He will also describe the associated four paths to these gates which we may embark on as modern striving individuals. The seminar will give an opportunity to practice walking on these paths through the technique of fading and merging using our spiritual bodies.

Shakespeare’s play, a meditation for healing relationship
An embodied exploration with Adam Fotheringham
The Winter’s Tale is one of Shakespeare’s last and most moving plays. It shares with the other late plays a preoccupation with loss and redemption. In the story King Leontes, acting out of blind jealousy, tyrannically destroys his family and happiness, but his shattered world is redeemed by time, destiny and a process of inner atonement. In this divisive age of polarising perspectives and conflicting narratives, how can we work to heal the relational rifts that threaten our human fellowship? This deeply spiritual play points both to causes of conflict in human interaction, and to the path of repair and reconciliation available if we choose to take it. Participants will be introduced to the story, which will become a lens for examining their own conduct in relationship. Through dialogue, group reflection and embodied exercises, participants will have opportunities to work with their own relationship history in a context that is strongly held, confidential and holds a possibility for healing.
Adam Fotheringham has a background in theatre as an actor, director and teacher, but now works predominantly in personal and leadership development. He is a Programme Lead and Archetypal Coach with Olivier Mythodrama, using story as a tool for developing individuals in leadership and life.

Music Poetry Storytelling
with Louise Coigley
Honouring the centenary of Frida Kahlo’s accident 17 September 1925
Storyteller, speech & language therapist and spinal injury survivor Louise weaves her own fractured journey into a powerful and poetic narrative of perseverance and healing. Born with clubfeet, as a child Louise develops scoliosis.
After years of treatment for her legs & feet and back, being stretched, moulded, winched and strapped, then undergoing spinal surgery, Louise emerges out of the cocoon of a spinning bed. Years later, in extreme pain, she encounters Frida Kahlo’s paintings, learns about her life, her loves. Louise finds recognition and a new way to navigate pain: through creativity. With humour and humanity, tales from these two women’s lives interweave.
Accompanied by Olivier nominated actress Melody Grove and Aly Macrae, actor & musician of stage and screen, “Back to Back” unfolds with poignant, uplifting singing & music. Melody also speaks “From the Frocks”- a powerful new prose poem by Louise.
