  • Monday 25 November
    7pm - 8.30pm

    with Dr Sue Peat and Adrian Hotten

    This Autumn we will be starting to read Theosophy, which is one of Rudolf Steiner’s fundamental and foundational books, published in 1904. It begins by describing the threefold nature of the human being: the body, or sense-world; the soul, or inner world; and the spirit, or universal world of cosmic archetypes. A profound discussion of reincarnation and karma follows, concluding with a description of the soul's journey through regions of the supersensible world after death. The book closes with an outline of the path to higher knowledge. Copies of the book are readily available both new and pre-loved, and it is also available on the Rudolf Steiner Archive website.

    All are welcome to join us for any, or all, of these meetings.

    Previous knowledge of Rudolf Steiners’ work is not expected or required. All our meetings are free. Donations towards expenses are gratefully received.

    We will be reading the 14 lectures by Rudolf Steiner from May/June 1907 entitled ‘Theosophy of the Rosicrucian’ (GA99). This Munich lecture cycle by Steiner provides one of the most comprehensive summaries of his basic written works and is suitable for students finding their way around and also for those of us keen to consolidate our learning.

  • Wednesday 27 November
    2pm - 4pm

    with William Bishop

    This warm, rich, and wide-ranging lecture course given in Nuremberg in 1908 considers the Book of Revelation as pictures from initiate consciousness interpreted in terms of cosmic evolution centered in the Christ impulse - apocalypse considered as ‘the impulse-giver for the future, for action and deed.’

    All welcome. For further information: williambishop191@gmail.com

  • Monday 2 December
    7pm - 8.30pm

    With Trevor Dance

    These profoundly esoteric lectures examine the laws inherent in reincarnation and karma and explore in detail the incarnations of specific historical figures. The opportunity to study this lecture series in a group affords us a chance to really get to grips with these fundamental issues, which demonstrate the realities of the workings of karma in human life.

    We will be reading and discussing these deeply penetrating but very accessible lectures given in Dornach July-Sept 1916.
