Saturday 5 September12pm - 3.30pm
*with Jolanta Bielawska
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.
Secure your spot with a £20 pre-booking

Saturday 5 September7.30pm - 8.45pm
Music · Poetry · Storytelling
with Louise Coigley MRCSLT
Honouring Frida Kahlo
What happens when two women, separated by time and circumstance, find a way to transform pain into creativity?
In Back to Back, storyteller and spinal injury survivor Louise Coigley weaves her own extraordinary journey with the life, loves and art of Frida Kahlo.
As an adolescent, Louise emerges from the cocoon of a spinning hospital bed following spinal surgery that nearly paralysed her. Born with clubfeet and living with severe scoliosis from childhood, she spent years being moulded, winched and manipulated into shape. Then, as a young adult and in extreme pain, she encountered Frida Kahlo’s paintings.
Here was someone who understood.
Through Frida’s life and work, Louise discovered recognition and a new way to navigate suffering: through creativity.
With humour, tenderness and humanity, the stories of these two women interweave in a powerful and poetic exploration of pain, resilience, identity and healing.
Louise is joined by Olivier-nominated actress Melody Grove and Aly Macrae, actor and musician of stage and screen. Together, they create a richly textured performance of storytelling, singing and music. Melody also performs Louise’s powerful new prose poem, From the Frocks.
“I feel I travelled with you along the river of your life, moving fluidly from tears to warm smiles as the performance unfolded.”
Rhian Collings, Creative Producer & Documentary MakerLouise Coigley
Louise worked as a speech and language therapist for forty years and founded Lis’n Tell, a live inclusive storytelling organisation which has taken her across the UK and to four continents. She has trained parents and professionals and worked with children, teenagers and adults with physical and intellectual disabilities.
A spinal injury survivor herself, Louise brings her own fractured journey into her storytelling, creating a powerful and poetic narrative of perseverance, creativity and healing.
Her work has been described as:
“Downright compelling and funny, giving courage - inspires creativity.”
Ashley Ramsden, Founding Director, The School of Storytelling“Empathic & entertaining - using stories as seamless healers.”
David D. Campbell, Storyteller, Poet, Writer and BroadcasterFrida Kahlo: Creativity & Endurance
In July 2026, September Publishing released Wings to Fly on Creativity and Endurance in the Words and Pictures of Frida Kahlo, curated, introduced and edited by Louise.
The book grew from Louise’s fascination with Frida Kahlo and her own experience of finding creative possibility in the midst of physical suffering.
In September 2025, Louise was also featured in the documentary Living with Scoliosis, alongside other scoliosis survivors. The film is available on YouTube.
A performance of courage, creativity and connection
Back to Back invites us to look differently at pain - not by denying it, but by discovering what can emerge from it.
It is a story of two women, two bodies and two journeys: one separated from us by nearly a century, the other unfolding in our own time. Through words, music, poetry and storytelling, Louise creates an intimate and inclusive space in which laughter, tears and hope can sit side by side.
Suitable for ages 16+.
This performance contains some intense themes.Find out more:

A talk and book launch
with Danielle van Dijk
Danielle van Dijk, together with Henk van Oort (her translator), will share insights from her richly illustrated book exploring the hidden legacy of Mary Magdalene across sacred sites in Palestine, France, England, Italy, and Spain. Drawing on Celtic Christianity, the Nag Hammadi discoveries, and the work of Rudolf Steiner, Danielle retraces the footsteps of Mary Magdalene, uncovering veiled layers of Gnosis embedded in Gothic cathedrals, Templar legends, Cathar strongholds, the Black Madonna, and pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela.
Through readings, discussion, and contemplative exercises, attendees will explore the spiritual presence of Mary Magdalene as a teacher, initiator, and equal among the great figures of sacred history. The event will offer a unique opportunity to engage with subtle symbols of the Magdalene encoded in art and architecture, and to experience meditative reflections on love, equality, and the archetypal feminine. Copies of Danielle’s book will be available for sale in the Steiner House bookshop.
Besides some striking examples that prove the metamorphic development of the human soul leading to the present consciousness soul, Henk van Oort will also draw attention to the necessary rehabilitation of the balance between the male and female aspects of the human being. Awareness of this need will support the pursuit of Love as a gift from the Divine, a gift that ‘Project Earth’ cannot do without.Danielle van Dijk, MA, has spent decades studying esoteric Christianity and the feminine aspect of the divine, bringing scholarly depth and spiritual insight to her writings. Henk van Oort, author and translator of The Inner Rainbow, will also contribute, offering complementary perspectives and discussion.

Where Did All This Come From?Thursday 17 September 7pm
The architecture of Rudolf Steiner House
A talk by architects Nic Pople and Richard Coleman as part of OPEN HOUSE LONDON
Join us for this centenary talk celebrating 100 years of Rudolf Steiner House, the sole example of expressionist architecture in London.
The talk will look at the context in which the architect of Rudolf Steiner House, Montague Wheeler, was working in his practice at the time and what other architects were doing in London then. It was an extraordinarily unique approach to style. The focus will then turn to Rudolf Steiner’s influence on architecture emanating form his work in Dornach, Switzerland, including the two Goetheanum buildings leading to a review of how this influence spread over Europe and Scandinavia, positing the freeing and spiritualising of an approach to architectural design as one of Steiner’s many contributions to the cultural life.
Nic Pople is an architect based in Sussex. During his long career he has designed and had built three churches for The Christian Community and carried out renovation work at Rudolf Steiner House in 2008 and again in 2020. He also taught part time for 35 years in London architecture schools before retiring from teaching ten years ago in order to concentrate fully on the practice he runs with three young colleagues. He doesn’t like the term ‘Steiner Architecture’, preferring to see Steiner’s insights as important to the design process rather than as a style.
Richard Coleman is an architect soon to retire but still provides existing design teams with a consultancy role in respect of design, townscape and heritage advice. He contributed to the design of the Gherkin, several projects along the banks of the Thames, ten projects in Oxford Street and over 30 others in the west end. He has supported projects in Bath, Brighton, Dublin and Cork and has collaborated with many of the well-known architects in the UK. He follows Steiner’s indications in his work.

Wednesday 16 September7pm - 8.30pm
A Book Launch Talk with author Wendy Teall (pen name Phoebe Tallis) and researcher Inessa Burdich
What begins with a battered suitcase of family photographs unfolds into an extraordinary investigation across the threshold of death.
In this launch talk, author Phoebe Tallis and supersensible researcher Inessa Burdich share the creative journey behind Saving Ernest. Tracing one family’s story from the late 19th century to the present day, their research moves beyond archives and memory into direct contemplative enquiry into the experiences of those who have died, both before and after their passing.
Told with warmth, humour and narrative drive, Saving Ernest blends historical reconstruction with spiritual investigation, uncovering patterns of inheritance, suffering and healing that flow through generations. At its heart lies a compelling question: can the wounds of the past be understood and transformed through conscious attention and love?
This talk offers a rare insight into a unique collaboration, and into a form of anthroposophy expressed through story.
Wendy Teall is a writer, artist and researcher whose Welsh storytelling heritage shapes her exploration of love, loss, and the unseen life of the soul.
Inessa Burdich is a spiritual researcher, consultant and educator whose work unites scientific training with supersensible enquiry and the wisdom of Anthroposphy.
For enquiries, please contact Wendy Teall on 07815 739193.
Cost: £10 cash on the door.

Thursday 17 September7pm - 8.30pm
with Inessa Burdich
Talk
In the course of our individual spiritual journey, we repeatedly encounter the fundamental question: Who am I? The mystery of the “I” is perhaps the greatest enigma of human existence. The I is rooted in eternity and incarnates through our lower bodies, gradually revealing itself within earthly life.
This talk will explore several interconnected questions:
- How can we approach the mystery of the “I” — the sense of Self, also referred to as the I-presence or the I-bearer?
- How do the qualities of our I-presence change throughout the different stages of life?
- What challenges arise in relation to a weakened I-presence?
- How can the I-presence be consciously strengthened?
Strengthening the I-presence is considered a powerful remedy for many mental disorders and other health conditions. It forms the foundation of all genuine spiritual work. The talk will examine practical aspects of the harmonious development of the I-presence, as well as the relationship between I-presence and specific health conditions, including hypersensitivity as an example. We will explore the genesis of hypersensitivity and consider ways of building personal resilience in order to overcome it.
Followed by a 1-day workshop on the same topic on Sunday 20th September at RSH: https://rsh.anth.org.uk/event/how-can-i-become-aware-of-the-srength-of-my-i/
Cost: £15 cash on the door.
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.

Friday 18 September7pm - 8.30pm
with Inessa Burdich
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. https://rsh.anth.org.uk/event/michael-and-the-transformation-of-fear-2/

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.

Sunday 20 September9.30am - 6.30pm
with Inessa Burdich
Lecture followed by Workshop
In the workshop, we will learn practical exercises to deepen the topics of the talk.
- Am I “the master of my house”?
- How can I strengthen my inner self, i.e. my I-presence?
- Nowadays, many people feel disorientated and scattered and cannot find a connection with themselves – how can we bring ourselves back to our true selves?
Positivity has a proven influence on the development of our I-presence, so we will explore how to consciously turn our mind to the positive aspects of each experience in our life, researching and applying processes by which negative experiences can be transformed into positive ones and the resultant feelings of spiritual happiness.
Cost: £95, though if you have attended the lecture on Thursday, you can pay £80 and arrive at 11.15.
Booking required. Call Alex Wright on 01342 827967 and for further information.

Sunday 27 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 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 to the biodynamic planting calendar and using the biodynamic preparations. It will be early autumn, so we will focus on sharing seasonal tips for ‘extending’ the season, harvesting and preserving. We will also share the results of some research into biodynamics, which really shows the benefit that it can bring to our soil and food crops. 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, street trees or house plants an autumn treat!
Sue and Douglas are enthusiastic gardeners with lots of practical experience in biodynamic gardening.
All are welcome, no need to book.
Cost: Full £10, Concession £5 – pay at the door

We are all called to be artists!
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!

with Milena Ivovic
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.
COME to share your observations on the topic and make new friends!

Monday 12 October7pm
A Talk with Julie R. Petre
“I have purposely kept all allusions to the highest matters down to mere hints, perceptible only by the most attentive, or kept them under unexplained symbolic forms.” (Letter 156)
Arwen Undómiel makes few appearances in Tolkien’s legendarium, barely speaks, and is underrepresented in the literature. Yet she captures the imagination. And she is Queen of the Reunited Kingdom and the New Age. Tolkien thought her love story ‘the highest,’ and thought the story of Arwen and Aragorn the most important Appendix in the Red Book.
This talk considers the following strands:
- The unfinished nature of the myth, and its ‘hints’ of something more.
- The veiled but pivotal importance of Arwen.
- The Stars, the Tree, & the Priestess.
- The feminine in Tolkien’s myth.
- Cerin Amroth.
Julie R. Petre worked for many years as an NHS Consultant Clinical Psychologist & Psychotherapist. On retiring, she earned a Masters degree in ‘Myth, Cosmology & the Sacred,’ focussing on Tolkien’s work. She leads an esoteric group with roots in the ancient wisdom traditions of the west, which is devoted to the living interior of the myth brought to us by Tolkien.
Donation of £5 welcome, payable in the Bookshop.

with Are Thoresen
UPDATE: Are will include content from his new book ‘The Fifth Stage of the Path to the Father’Over this weekend Are Thoresen will present his latest research which extends the fundamental insights given by Rudolf Steiner as the basis of our experience of material reality. Once we understand how the human being both perceives and conceptualises his sensory experiences (Are calls this process conceptualisation), it becomes easier to begin to enter the paths into the spiritual world in fully awake consciousness.
Are will describe 4 paths to the Spiritual World, each one requiring a different kind of thinking activity which we can experience.
Lecture - Friday 16th October 7:30 pm - 9 pm
Are Thoresen will give a talk on the theme of Conceptualisation and Four Paths into the Spiritual World.
Suggested contribution £10. Concessions considered. Cash at the door.
Workshops Saturday 17th - Sunday 18th October 10 am - 5 pm
Are will lead the workshop with further explanatory indications, discussion and the opportunity to exercise and experience conceptualisation vs perception. We will be walking the four paths into the spiritual world and practice the different types of thinking activity required.
Admission: £90 for the weekend or £50 per day. Concessions considered. Cash at the door.
To book please contact Glenn Charles glenn.charles@gmail.com or Giovanna Mabanta gioinflow@gmail.com
Are Thoresen is a Norwegian veterinarian, therapist, healer and spiritual investigator. Over the last few years, he has investigated deeply into the boundaries between the material world and the spiritual worlds beyond.

We will acknowledge the 50th anniversary of Lilly Kolisko’s death and celebrate the remarkable contributions she made to biodynamics.
Lilly Kolisko researched potentisation with Dr Steiner as used in biodynamics, anthroposophical medicine and homoeopathy, putting potentisation onto a scientific footing. The forces with which biodynamics reckons and which distance us from our materialistic peers were investigated and their impact revealed to the great satisfaction of Dr Steiner.
We will explore her work and note where her efforts have blossomed in the present.
This event is for biodynamic farmers and growers, homoeopaths and pharmacists looking to understand the ‘mode of action’ of potentised preparations.
The BDA’s AGM will follow.

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.

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.

Wednesday 18 November7pm
with Milena Ivovic
The expression Mind-Body-Spirit is coined by those who approach the Human Being HOLISTICALLY.
They understand that leaving one of these aspects behind, impairs the health of the individual – hence a MUTUAL BALANCE between Mind, Body and Spirit is crucial.
We will examine this tripartite connection by focusing on each of its facets:
- MIND – we’ll observe it through Thought, Awareness and Consciousness, and the factors that influence and elevated them;
- BODY – what is the real source of its power? Is it strong muscles, immune system or more than that?
- SPIRIT – we’ll shed new light on this ever-mysterious topic, which has continued to survive over the millennia despite a loud rejection by some circles. We we’ll answer the questions: Do we have a SPIRITUAL ATTRIBUTE or it is a myth, ungrounded assumption? What is the essence of our spirituality?
DYNAMISM of these three faculties has its order, and determines the quality of our experiences.
We will also elucidate the questions such as:
- Are we here on this planet accidentally, or for a celestially granted and purposeful opportunity?
- Why humanity is currently facing an evolutionary juncture?
- What supports we have in our struggle for an evolutionary triumph?
COME to reassess and upgrade your stance on Mind-Body-Spirit trinity!
COME to share your observations, ask questions – or simply socialise and make new friends!

Activist, Ecologist and Transpersonal Counsellor Paul Maitenay will be in conversation with Mark Jackson-Hancock.
Seminal experiences and questions starting at seven years old set the trajectory for Paul’s 50+ year inquiry into the dynamics of how Earth’s Life works: how do all the layers and pieces fit together as one ecosystemic whole, including accepting what could be our human niche within it? How come we so belligerently resist seeing and or being what we have needed to in order to realise our participation? Paul’s main learning has been from observing the Book of Nature, both within and without. At a similarly early age, he discovered that esoteric wisdoms and practice, of western and eastern alchemical traditions, described what he had been seeing. These have been a thread running throughout his life and work. He will share these things and discuss them in conversation.
Paul’s questions led him to work across conservation ecology, ecological and cultural anthropology, and transpersonal psychotherapy. He has worked with conservation organisations, the Open University, Oxford University and UCL, and now works independently. His publications include Yearning for Our Niche, Longing to be Human and Trees of Knowledge. He currently teaches Ecology, Meaning, Survival: Transpersonal Ecopsychology.

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!

A talk with Mike Bais
Mike Bais will be at the bookshop talking about his new book “Kabbalah, the Round Table and the Grail”.
A book for the contemporary seeker who wishes to learn about Kabbalah and for those who are also fascinated by the mythology of the Round Table. Both these spiritual traditions come together in this unique book where theory and practice guide the reader, bringing one to a greater understanding of the Tree of Life, the Round Table and the Grail. A book for the beginner and the advanced student alike.
Mike Bais is the founder of the Mystery School, the Circle of Avalon. His esoteric training comes from the Western Esoteric Tradition and the Toledano Kabbalah. Living in the Netherlands (Utrecht) he extensively worked with esoteric teachers and groups in the UK. His professional background is working as a physiotherapist, counsellor, teacher in university and he had his own practice for many years. He is a trained priest and bishop in the mystical tradition of Christ, which is known as the lineage called the A.S.A. He believes that the Teachings of Christ are universal and should not be limited to a religious structure.
