Thursday 16 April7pm - 9pm
with Sarah Fletcher
19.00 – 21:00
People are often inspired and baffled by poetry. As a teacher, the question I am asked most is still ‘what does this poem mean?’ This course begins elsewhere. Before meaning, there is sound. Before interpretation, there is rhythm. From these, sense begins to gather.
Set within the Steiner space, the course takes seriously Rudolf Steiner’s insight that “Every vowel is a soul-mood, and every consonant an imprint of the world.” We will treat language as something lived and shaped through the body, attending to how sound moves within the room, how repetition alters it, how voice creates atmosphere.
We will explore how poets such as Gerard Manley Hopkins and Dylan Thomas use sound as a generative force, allowing language to move, echo, and accumulate into meaning. Students will write out of sound, letting patterns call up image and feeling almost involuntarily. We will also work with the environment beyond the room. Regent’s Park becomes part of the course, offering sensory experiences to inspire our writing.
Through recitation, repetition, and vocal exercises, this course invites you to inhabit language before writing it, and to return each week as that sensitivity deepens. As Steiner writes, “In speech the human being experiences him/herself as soul.”
The course culminates in a voluntary sharing of poems written at a public Poetry Evening in the Bookshop on 18th June.
Each session builds on the last, so attending regularly is strongly encouraged.
Please bring your own notebook and pen.

A women’s circle — a space where you can be yourself, share what feels important to you at this moment, feel, listen to other women, and see yourself reflected in their eyes. A place where you can feel safe — without judgement, grounded in mutual respect, support, and the warmth of togetherness.
In a fast-paced world, it seems more important than ever to slow down, gather together in real spaces, and build supportive communities. Our longing to be heard, truly listened to, and to feel connected deserves to be nurtured and cared for.
Come as often as suits.

Join us for a beautiful, relaxed afternoon where we’ll slow down, connect, and create something special together.
Candle making is a gentle, mindful process. It invites us to be patient, to slow down, and to move with care. As the wax melts and settles, we allow ourselves to do the same — softening, pausing, and simply being present in the moment.
We’ll enjoy the delicate scent of natural beeswax, pour warm wax into moulds, choose our wicks, sip tea, chat, laugh… and take our time. No rush. No pressure. Just a cosy, creative space to unwind and make something beautiful with your own hands.
You’ll take home the candles you create.
If this feels like the kind of afternoon you’d enjoy, I would love for you to join us.
We will be working in small group.
£45 per person

Volume 1: The Source
Start your journey with Catherine Pawasarat at this UK unveiling of the Victory Protocols - ancient wisdom from beyond this world - as they are revealed to seekers ready to receive them. These protocols that form the backbone of Psynaut training will be demonstrated in action. Not just explained, but activated.
Catherine Pawasarat Sensei, who worked alongside Elbud (Qapel Doug Duncan) during his Earth incarnation will share what it was like to witness, and to work alongside a master teacher as he channelled cosmic wisdom into story form.
Copies of Psynauts will be available for purchase. Tickets to this event are free – but you must reserve a place:
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1986162184560?aff=oddtdtcreator
✍️ ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Qapel Doug Duncan brings decades of meditation practice and teaching to this innovative blend of science fiction and spiritual memoir. A respected teacher in the Buddhist tradition, Duncan has crafted a unique narrative that makes ancient wisdom accessible to modern seekers. This posthumous work bridges ancient wisdom and contemporary storytelling, and creates a new subgenre of “dharma fiction.” It invites audiences into profound Buddhist and spiritual teachings through a gripping and imaginative narrative.
⚡WHAT READERS SAY
"This book doesn't just tell you about enlightenment—it shows you the messy, beautiful, completely human path to get there."
"Finally, a spiritual teaching that doesn't shy away from the shadow side of growth."
"I couldn't put it down. Elbud's story made me question everything I thought I knew about consciousness and reality."
According to the Victory Protocols, the first volume must be discovered, the second received from a mentor, and the third... Well, that's your journey to write. Start your journey of discovery with us at Rudolf Steiner House. The universe is waiting for you!

Sunday 17 May9.30am - 6.30pm
with Inessa Burdich
Lecture followed by Workshop
In this time of materialism and intellectualism, our feelings are often accorded little importance. Yet it is increasingly recognised that they play a significant role in our well-being and, very importantly, our bodily health.
This talk is mainly dedicated to the area of our feelings and emotions (also called the astral body) and subjects which will be considered include the following.
- How does the astral body in the human appear from a supersensible point of view?
- How does it change with age or illness, your profession, etc.?
- How can the astral body be affected by our biographical situations, usual daily activities, and negative spiritual influences, even if they are not directly perceived?
- How do I train myself to control my feelings? How do I become more aware of my own astral body?
- How can I quieten my soul and maintain this quietness and equanimity?
The Workshop will then deepen this topic through practical exercises.
- Where are my feelings “located”?
- How can I train myself to control my feelings?
- Experiencing and researching feelings of heightened jubilation and deep sadness.
- Exploring the feeling of inner quietness.
- Why did Rudolf Steiner consider complete quietness in the soul as the first level of higher initiation?
Cost: £95, booking required. Call Alex Wright on 01342 827967 and for further information.
Inessa Burdich is a Spiritual Science researcher and a therapeutic consultant for individuals and organisations. She is also a Trustee for a Rudolf Steiner research and educational trust dedicated to supporting individuals with special needs, and leads courses in Anthroposophical meditation and supersensible perception.

- TOWARDS the TRUE SELF

with Milena Ivovic
Looking around and observing the relationship disorder of humanity, it seems useful to revisit some points regarding our social interactions.
Particularly important is to understand the dynamism of challenging circumstances.
Here are some themes we will elaborate in this talk:
- What happens when we are under a verbal attack?
- Why do we feel offended?
- Shall we engage in explaining ourselves? If so – what does that bring?
- How to navigate when offended? Whom to ask for an advice, when and why?
- Shall we analyse WHY other party has behaved the way they did?
- Deeper significance of all experiences and of all relationships
- Ego; Self-control; Inner peace
- Importance of telling the truth vs gossiping
- Perfect social behavioural model
COME to immerse yourself in a highly informative and eye-opening explanation of common situations we face in our interactions in family, business environment or with friends.
If verbal challenges still bother you, COME to this in-person event that promises to be a transformative experience.
COME to participate in a friendly conversation and make new friends!

Aiming to shed light in that direction, we will tackle following questions:
- What are DREAMS – are they a random product of our biology?
- When do we dream and why?
- What is the meaning / interpretation of dreams
- What are Lucid / Vivid dreams?
- A Multidimensional perspective:
What happens when we dream? What dreams do we remember and why? - Do dreams support our evolution?
COME to reassess your understanding of dreams.
COME to share your observations and make new friends!

A women’s circle — a space where you can be yourself, share what feels important to you at this moment, feel, listen to other women, and see yourself reflected in their eyes. A place where you can feel safe — without judgement, grounded in mutual respect, support, and the warmth of togetherness.
In a fast-paced world, it seems more important than ever to slow down, gather together in real spaces, and build supportive communities. Our longing to be heard, truly listened to, and to feel connected deserves to be nurtured and cared for.
Come as often as suits.

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.

TALK
In these turbulent times, fear manifests not only as personal anxiety but as a collective atmosphere: a shadow cast by the growing presence of negative forces. This theme invites us to approach fear as something to transform through a conscious relationship with the being of the archangel Michael.
Michael, as the spiritual countenance of Christ, works today as a Time Spirit, calling each human soul to awakening, inner uprightness and courage.
Together we will explore:
– The role of Michael within the spiritual hierarchies
– The mystery of symbols
– Michael’s connection with Gabriel and Oriphiel
This meeting will offer practical exercises, to strengthen our steadfastness and moral clarity, so essential for transforming the increasingly visible negative forces of our times. These practices support the path of becoming Warriors of the Light, capable of meeting adversity with awakened presence.
£15 cash on the door
This lecture will be followed by a one day workshop on the same topic at RSH on Saturday 19th September, £95. Booking required – call Alex Wright on 01342 827967 and for further information.
Inessa Burdich is a Spiritual Science researcher and a therapeutic consultant for individuals and organisations. She is also a Trustee for a Rudolf Steiner research and educational trust dedicated to supporting individuals with special needs, and leads courses in Anthroposophical meditation and supersensible perception.

If Sculpture is waiting to be released into the movement art of Eurythmy, what is Architecture longing to become? In characterising the Mission of the Arts, Rudolf Steiner described the transformation of the plastic-spatial arts, but left the "social art" enigmatically unidentified. This is directly connected to the courage we are enjoined to have in taking responsibility for the uncertain future. How can we transform the ‘architecture’ of the social, economic, pedagogical, professional, and other structures that manifestly no longer serve our becoming human? Come and join us in this Festival to explore what Michael, the Spirit of our Time, is waiting for from us!
If Sculpture is waiting to be released into Eurythmy, what is Architecture longing to become? In the lecture Rudolf Steiner gave on the Mission of the Arts (GA 275), he described the transformation of the plastic-spatial arts, but left the seventh enigmatically unidentified.

Human brain is a cosmic devise. It is complex and perfect – in its multidimensional data computing as it is tuned in to the cosmic Wi-Fi.
However, is there anything our brain cannot do?
Surely so, and we will explore two other tools provided in human body, to help it never lose a connection to the celestial domain.
We will thus explore the Pineal gland and Smart body, both of which acquire information beyond the cranial brain.
Kinesiology, talking to our cells, intuition, inspiration, Brain vs Hearth, discernment engine, the perfect self – are just some of the concepts we will go through in order to illustrate multidimensional power innate to every human being.
Join us in this inspiring, eye-opening and visually rich presentation.

Creativity is considered THE HIGHEST FORM OF INTELLIGENCE, though has not been fully understood – in particular its origin.
This talk will shed some light on this unique phenomenon from the following angles:
- Imagination (what it depends on and how to enhance it…)
- Inspiration (the sources of inspiration will be explained through concrete examples in art and science)
- Religious view (since creativity is primarily associated with God, so religions disclose a lot on the topic)
- Scientific view (including the studies on the correlation between Schizophrenia and CREATIVITY)
- Celestial Influences (what does it mean that “everyone has a star”?)
COME to enjoy this fascinating topic and its visual presentation.
COME to enhance your understanding of creativity, and to make new friends!

We are aware that OBJECTS are ENERGIES PRESENTED IN A CRUDE MATTER FORM, DESIGNED TO BEST SUIT THEIR INTENDED PURPOSE.
BUYING NEW ITEMS has many reasons and sometimes even be driven by psychological urges. Thus, there is a danger behind the capacity and a drive to buy them – which is getting stuck in the world of objects, and become a slave to them.
The time can also come when some OBJECTS LOSE THEIR APPEAL TO US.
In trying to explain that phenomenon, we will follow the guidance of Nikola Tesla who suggested to start from energy, vibration and frequency in order to understand the Universe. Thus, we’ll approach both a Human Being and objects as Energy Systems, and explore their interaction and mutual evolution.
Shall we live with the essentials only (as many in Japan choose to) or end up paralysed in the clutter we have generated? Or, are we going to be able find the right measure?
We hope this talk will help you gain a clearer stance on who is to serve whom and why – when we think about artefacts in our life.
COME to this talk to broaden your perspective on the topic, of objects we use, that concerns all of us.
COME to share your beautiful presence, your thoughts on the topic and to make new friends!
