Friday 27 June7pm - 8.30pm
with Howard Smith
Rudolf Steiner lectured extensively on our journey through the planetary spheres after death. Some of his lectures were given during the First World War – conditions we are again witnessing. Today we have the same questions as then. Steiner aimed to bring understanding to such issues as battlefield deaths, the deaths of children, the connection between the living and the dead, and the formation of karma for the next incarnation. These are practical questions, which invite us to take our own inner development and understanding in hand, both as a personal preparation, and as a selfless service to the dead and the spiritual world in general.

Friday 4 July7pm - 8.30pm
with Helen Kinsey
The threats to childhood in the digital age are different to those in the industrial age and yet the journey through childhood to adulthood from a developmental perspective, remains the same. In our age, an increasing number of children are suffering from mental ill health. What can be done? We will explore this question by looking at the journey through childhood from a Waldorf perspective, comparing it with a mainstream experience and drawing out the strengths and weaknesses of both.
Helen is an anthroposophist and has been teaching in the Waldorf School for 20 years, mostly as a class teacher. She now teaches as a mainstream primary teacher.

Friday 11 July7pm - 8.30pm
with Eric Klein
What’s happened over the last 100 years? Can we even imagine life without the possibility of gathering from all over the world on zoom to consider what life was actually like 100 years ago? In the time of Steiner there was not even the possibility of jumping on Easy Jet from London to Switzerland to attend an ‘in person’ talk delivered by the man himself. Now his written words are accessible to anyone who looks no further than a screen. Between then and now the world has changed dramatically, as has the application of his ideas to the developing areas of science and the arts. His insights, particularly those that relate to the nature of the human being and our connection to both the physical and the spiritual worlds, are timeless, and certainly offer inspiration for another 100 years at the very least.
Eric Klein was born and raised in an Anthroposophic home in New York and was educated at the Rudolf Steiner School in New York City, before training as a concert musician at the Manhattan School of Music. His life’s journey has gone through Harvard Business School and the Christian Community Seminary in Stuttgart, Germany before settling in England in 2002. He has worked as a performing musician, composer, conductor, teacher and lecturer.
