with Georg Locher, Douglas Gerwin, and Martha Rowse Kelder
This course is intended for prospective teachers, parents, and those interested in exploring basic exercises in Anthroposophy and the arts. Beginning with an overview of the essential aspects of the human being, participants will study themes from Intuitive Thinking as a Spiritual Path by Rudolf Steiner and engage in lively conversation. Each afternoon session will include supportive exercises in painting and clay modeling. This work is recognized as a Foundation Studies completion course by Antioch University New England and the Center for Anthroposophy. (Foundation Studies in Anthroposophy and the Arts is a prerequisite for Waldorf teacher education.) Participants are requested to read Intuitive Thinking as a Spiritual Path beforehand.
