A 9-month programme with 5 weekends: 28 February-2 March, 11-13 April, 13-15 June, 12-14 September and 7-9 November 2025
Geomancy as a creative dialogue with Gaia has made profound developments after entering the third millennium when the intense process of Earth changes started. More than ever, we need a new approach to geomancy with practical experiences and theoretical insights related to the upcoming multidimensional Earth cosmos and the different kinds of beings sustaining its permanent transformations. In this course we will practice methods of Earth healing and subtle perception exercises with special emphasis on the creative language of the body and its artistic expression. Beginners and experienced geomancy practitioners are both welcome.
The training will be led by Marko Pogačnik assisted by Ying Li with fieldwork in the vicinity of London and one residential weekend at Emerson College, Sussex.
28 February- 2 March: In London taught by Marko Pogačnik
11-13 April: In London taught by Ying Li
13-15 June: At Emerson College, Sussex taught by Marko Pogačnik
12-14 September: In London taught by Ying Li
7-9 November: In London taught by Marko Pogačnik
A certificate of completion in Geomancy Updated is given at the end of the training course.
Marko Pogačnik (1944) UNESCO Artist for Peace from Slovenia has developed a method of Earth healing based upon geomantic knowledge, using cosmograms carved in stone. He has led education in geomancy in Germany, England, Hungary, Italy, USA, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia and Slovenia. His latest books: Dancing with the Earth Changes and Creating Gaia Culture. www.markopogacnik.com
Ying Li, originally from Hong Kong and based in London, is a geomancer, bodyworker, inner dimensions guide and facilitator of co-creative meditation and dance alchemy.

We will be continuing to read and discuss Theosophy, which is one of Rudolf Steiner’s fundamental and foundational books, published in 1904.

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.

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.
Cost £65 (£50 concessions)

Seeking truth in a polarized world and building future communities
with Ad Dekkers, Henriette Dekkers and John Lees
There will be an opportunity to deepen the theme in an optional workshop on Sunday 29 June, 10.30am - 1pm
We often hear such words as misinformation, fake news and propaganda. There is an uncertainty about truth. Our present world is beset by intensified polarizations regarding a whole range of issues – Gaza, Covid vaccination, politics (such as Democrats and Republicans in the United States), global alliances (BRICS and the G7).
How should we position ourselves in this polarized, split, dangerous, confusing and uncertain world? What is our place in these broader events? Do we mean anything or are we just cogs in a machine? What can we do?Ad Dekkers, Henriette Dekkers and John Lees are anthroposophic psychotherapists, practising a holistic body, soul and spirit approach to psychotherapy. They will share a way of addressing these questions from the point of view of anthroposophic psychotherapy. Their aim is to show that today’s challenges present us with an opportunity to develop a future spiritual consciousness and new future communities. The conference will include talks, group discussions and practical exercises.

with Prof Jules Pretty
Story is a simple device common to every human culture. It has some 50,000 years of history yet has often come to be both misunderstood and misused in the modern era. Join us in the bookshop for a talk by Professor and author Jules Pretty about how stories can be used to create agency for the climate, nature and inequality crises. It is a common feeling for the public and policy makers to feel anxiety and fear, helplessness too, in the face of global-wide crises. Yet stories can create a sense of purpose. They can act like tricksters of old who set us on new paths through the metaphorical dark forests.
A butterfly flaps its wings, and whole systems change.
Jules Pretty (OBE) is Professor of Environment and Society at the University of Essex, and Director of the Centre for Public and Policy Engagement. He is Chief Editor of the International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability and received an OBE for services to sustainable agriculture. Jules is also an author and will share with us one of his latest books, ‘The Low-Carbon Good Life’.

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.
Small donations towards expenses welcome: £3/£2

A pair of twins emerge from the ocean. Parted by a storm and shipwreck, each is sure the other is drowned as they come separately ashore on the coast of Illyria. Beneath their outwardly confusing similarity, their different destinies lead them into the same social psychic disorder which at first they unwittingly compound. The tenuous symmetry of the plot embraces illusion and misrule, and justly leaves some unfinished business at the end that reflects the disparate beginning.
Twelfth Night leads us from the innocence of the Early Comedies into the well-known experiences of the Tragedies. The less well-understood ambiguous, confused, social, personal, and gender realities of that transition expose an entertaining but tragic chaos. This play picks up a teasing loose end from As You Like It, and leaves a bitter remainder for Hamlet. The counter-intuitive polarities remind us of the excesses of the Saturnalia and reveal what is often hidden by the norms of convention. The questions the play poses about identity, delusion, recognition, and destiny all relate timelessly to our individual and social experience today.
Sarah Kane and Andrew Wolpert will be offering speech, drama workshops, close study of the text, lectures, discussions, and a visit to see a production of the play at The Globe Theatre.
The course fee of £465 includes a Groundling theatre ticket, morning coffee and afternoon tea.

Lecture by Thomas Mayer
At every moment we are surrounded and permeated by angels of the nine hierarchies.
How can we differentiate the nine angelic hierarchies?
How do the angels work in our lives and in our aura?
How does our angel accompany us in our sleep and after death?
What is a landscape angel?
How do angels express themselves in families or social communities?
How do angels experience us humans?
