– How does our etheric body change with age or after specific treatments or illnesses?
– What are the four different types of etheric?
– How can we experience them in our life?
– How can we develop our etheric body?
– How do addictions appear from a spiritual point of view?

with Brendan McQuillan
Tuesdays 7pm -8.30pm
We will be looking at lectures by Rudolf Steiner with the title 'The Fifth Gospel' given in various German cities in Nov and Dec 1913 (from GA148) and at his lecture from May 27th 1914 titled 'Progress in the Knowledge of the Christ: The Fifth Gospel' given in Paris (in GA152).
The lectures, which are informed by Steiner's spiritual research in the Akashic Chronicle, present many remarkable discoveries about the life of Jesus of Nazareth before the Baptism and about Christ Jesus' experiences following the Baptism. Included are dramatic insights into Jesus' doubts over the relevance both of contemporary Pagan Mysteries and the Bath Kol; Jesus' realization of the cosmic, inverse significance of the Lord's Prayer; His relationship to the Essene community and His glimpses of Lucifer and Ahriman fleeing the exclusive Essene Gates of Jerusalem; the intimate, cathartic conversations between Mother Mary and Jesus that led to the Baptism; the three temptations of Christ Jesus; Peter's denials, and much else besides.

Every other Monday, 7pm - 8.30pm
We will be continuing to read and discuss Theosophy, which is one of Rudolf Steiner’s foundational books, published in 1904. It begins by describing the threefold nature of the human being: body, soul and spirit. This is followed by a profound discussion of reincarnation and karma, 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.

Wednesday 18 March4.15pm - 5.45pm
with Debbie Elliott
This book was written by Rudolf Steiner, who said about it: "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."

with Douglas Miller
What choices do you have when the inherited political, economic and social structures are so degraded and entrenched that you feel unfree and unable to effect any real change in the world? Wolfram von Eschenbach’s epic poem Parzival points to a future that is in our hands. What path does it lay out for realizing a future that is both spiritually viable and in keeping with humanity’s capacity for freedom?
Douglas Miller 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.No need to book, no charge.

Friday 18 September7pm - 8.30pm
with Inessa Burdich
Rescheduled: Originally 13 March → Now 18 September
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.
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.
