  • Monday 16 June
    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.

  • Tuesday 17 June
    7pm - 8.30pm

    with Brendan McQuillan

    These are essays reworked by Steiner from lectures given in June 1910 in Norway. They look in great depth at how the Archangelic Beings that are the Folk Spirits of individual Nations interact with their peoples and with one another. They are extremely valuable towards an understanding of how conflicts can arise between nations due to the Karmic relationships between Folk Spirits, relationships different from those between human individuals.

  • Wednesday 18 June
    2pm - 4pm

    with Trevor Dance

    In these very accessible lectures, Steiner deals with the subtle effects of spiritual development at every level from straightforward investigations of the effects on spiritual seekers of coffee, tea and foodstuffs through to the universe of anthroposophical spiritual striving and the human being in relation to the forces of Ahriman and Lucifer.

  • Wednesday 18 June
    4.15pm - 5.45pm

    with Dagmar Steffelbauer

    Occult Science was first written by Steiner in 1909 and after that, three revised editions (1913, 1920 & 1925) followed. Studying the book, a first glance into supersensible worlds is given. ‘One of the fairest fruits of the pursuit of Spiritual Science is that it lends strength and firmness to life. Inexhaustible is the fountainhead from which it draws, giving human being strength for work and confidence in life’ - Rudolf Steiner.

    All are welcome!

  • Monday 23 June
    7pm - 8.30pm

    with Dr Sue Peat and Adrian Hotten

    We will be continuing to read and discuss 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.

  • Wednesday 25 June
    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

  • Wednesday 25 June
    4.15pm - 5.45pm

    with Debbie Elliott

    This book was written by Rudolf Steiner. Steiner wrote about this book; “The title Christianity as Mystical Fact was one I gave to this work eight years ago, when I gathered together the content of lectures given in 1902. It was meant to indicate the special approach adopted in the book. Its theme is not just the mystical side of Christianity in a historical presentation. It was meant to show, from the standpoint of a mystical awareness, how Christianity came into being.”
