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.

Friday 4 April7pm - 8.30pm
with Dr. Nic Kollerstrom
How do we understand what is, in the minds and hearts of many, the greatest event that has taken place in the history of humanity? How did ‘God’ become ‘man’, incarnating into a human body and living a hum an life? We could, like many respected theologians, imagine that this took place at the birth of Jesus and celebrate it at Christmas. The Gnostics had a different view, one which has remained undocumented for centuries and was re-awakened and enlivened by Rudolf Steiner. Nic will guide us through the history of these thoughts and maybe lead us to some new discoveries.
Nic studied the work of Rudolf Steiner in depth as a student at Emerson College. He is a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and has degrees in the history of science.

Saturday 12 April10am - 5.30pm
A sequence of Saturday monthly workshops
with Sarah Kane
These one-day workshops provide an opportunity to explore practically the core elements of the truly artistic acting techniques developed by Russian actor Michael Chekhov in the middle of the twentieth century. Chekhov’s approach aims to inspire and empower actors for their future work by building a living and sensitive bridge between the movement and imagination of an actor and the character to be played.
Although the workshops are designed as a series and build from one to the next, each workshop is an entirety in itself and can be taken individually.
Imagination is the real, eternal world, of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow.
William Blake

with Sarah Kane
These one-day workshops provide an opportunity to explore practically the core elements of the artistic speech techniques developed by Rudolf Steiner at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Sunday 13 April 10am – 5.30pm ~ Exploring The Individuality of A Character’s Voice

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.

Saturday: £50, £35 conc.

with composers Nigel Osborne, Howard Skempton and Jinny Shaw
together with Maren Stott and Eurythmy West Midlands
This special Festival in the centenary year of Rudolf Steiner’s death explores and celebrates the dynamic relationship between Music and Eurythmy*.
The evening performance includes works inspired by the Grail by composers Nigel Osborne, Howard Skempton and Jinny Shaw, as well as pieces by Shostakovich, Scriabin and Bach. Eurythmy is by Maren Stott and Eurythmy West Midlands.
In the afternoon there are presentations and workshops on Eurythmy,

*The art of Eurythmy, an expressive movement art, was originated by Rudolf Steiner in the early 20th century. The word eurythmy stems from Greek roots meaning beautiful or harmonious rhythm. A eurythmist moves the music itself, the inner dynamic, the emotional expressiveness. In an ensemble, the interplay of the instruments, the piece itself, is present before your eyes. -

Monday 11 August 9am - Friday 15 August 5pm
Shakespeare Week at Rudolf Steiner House London
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.
