What’s On

with Christopher Marcus

Rudolf Steiner repeatedly gave those who wanted to tread the inner path six exercises that would form a strong and healthy foundation for their journey. These strengthen and enable us to take charge of our life of thought, feeling and will. He warned that ignoring them would be dangerous; practising these exercises means taking hold of one’s shadow with enthusiasm! This talk will offer us keys to deepening our understanding of ourselves, each other and the mystery of destiny.

Christopher is a director woorking in the genre of spiritual theatre based on Rudolf Steiner’s teaching. He was ordained as an Interfaith Minister in 2007 and, besides directing, creates ceremonies for the life rhythms between birth and death. He has a practice in spiritual counselling and specialises in teaching the six subsidiary exercises. He lives in Forest Row with his wife and two children.

with Andrew Linnell

If we are spiritual beings going through earth evolution in a physical body, can any other spiritual beings share our body? Doesn’t it belong to me? What is the doppelganger that so many authors speak about (Lord of the Rings, Lord of the Flies, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Prince and the Pauper, A Tale of Two Cities, Twelfth Night, and many more). Andrew Linnell will speak about Rudolf Steiner’s view of our ahrimanic double and what our journey together entails in terms of cosmic evolution.

with Angus Jenkinson

The 19 class lessons are a path whereby the human goes from the mystery of uncertain existence to knowledge of the high eternal being that is the true self, the I that embraces Christ. How does this path unfold and how can it be seen as both spiritual science and soul journey?

This does not require membership of the School of Spiritual Science to attend.

Angus Jenkinson is a Class Holder and the author of From Stress to Serenity.

Chapter 4 of that book describes an experience of the true I in contrast with the everyday me.

with Dr. Douglas Miller

In the pre-dawn darkness of September 3, 1786, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe—already a celebrated author in Germany—departed his homeland for Italy. He had told only a very few friends about his plans, and he traveled under a pseudonym; he would not return until a year and a half later. He wrote about this journey: “I had a second birthday, a true rebirth, beginning with the day I entered Rome.” In our discussion we will consider what the roots of this quest for a “rebirth” were, and what the Italian journey meant for the many remaining years of Goethe’s personal life and his creative contributions in literature and science.

Douglas is a retired professor of German at the University of Michigan–Flint in the United States; his research, publication, and lecturing has focused on Goethe’s accomplishments as a scientist and writer, as well as on the history and meaning of Rudolf Steiner and anthroposophy.

with Howard Smith

What exactly are the chemical elements? Rudolf Steiner once referred to them as if they were individuals; living beings. So we can perhaps ask “WHO are the elements, and what do they have to tell us?” Some tell us of very ancient times, even before the earth evolution began. Some speak of the sun; others speak of the moon. In this talk we will explore the “biographies” of a few representative elements and try to discern what they say about our Earth and its spiritual origin.

Howard is a life-long student of Anthroposophy. He has a PhD in Chemistry and worked as researcher into the properties of water and as a science teacher. He founded the Science Group of Anthroposophical Society in Great Britian and now works as a piano technical specialist.
