with Dr. Peter Gruenewald*

The inner alchemic process of harmoniously uniting passionless wisdom (water) with passionate power (fire) is at the heart of the Rosicrucian Initiation path and is symbolised in the Hexagram and the Legend of Hiram creating the Brazen Sea. This work of Hiram has laid the foundation for the creation of future social communities based on freedom and selfless love. We will refer to Rudolf Steiner’s six subsidiary exercises in this context. The lecture the ‘Royal Art in a new Form.’ from Rudolf Steiner’s Lecture cycle: ‘The Temple legend and the Golden Legend’ gives us a basis for the evening. Please bring a pencil and paper!
