Saturday February 15 and Sunday 16, 2025

“A Shovel of Stars Overhead: Where to? What next?” embodies the longing, questioning, and bewilderment that belong to this moment in America, while asking where, from whom, and how something greater can come to be. The program is inspired by the words and compositions of a diversity of artists who poignantly reflect the tensions of their own time. These include the beloved and influential Langston Hughes, statesman Archibald MacLeish, the modern lyric Denise Levertov, and great American bard Walt Whitman.

The Eurythmy Association in North America EANA is facilitating this San Francisco performance of the Eurythmy Spring Valley Ensemble with their current touring program.

*Please note that due to the different venue, tickets available at the door are extremely limited and we recommend ordering ahead through http://ticketsource.us/eana so you will have a seat.

A sliding scale donation $10-20/person at the door is welcome. Thank you for supporting the artists.

We are using the following translation:

Michael Imagination

Springing from powers of the sun,

Luminous, world-blessing

Spirit-powers, to be Michael’s garment of rays

You are foreordained by the thinking of gods.

He, the Christ-proclaimer, reveals in you––

Mankind sustaining––holy cosmic will;

You, the bright world-ether beings,

Bear the Christ-Word to human beings.

So Christ’s herald appears

To waiting, thirsting souls.

To them, your word of light streams forth

In the world-age of spirit-man.

You, students of spirit-knowledge,

Take Michael’s wise directing,

Take the word of love of the will of worlds

Into your souls’ high aims––actively.

Rudolf Steiner

You are warmly invited to join us in a festival celebration to honor the spirit of Micha-el. The Bay Area Eurythmy Ensemble has been inspired to work with the Michael Imagination by Rudolf Steiner in preparation for this festival and aims to trace he arc or Rudolf Steiner’s last address (given September 28, 1924) as a centenary tribute. Through eurythmy, speech and visual art we offer an artistic experience of the individualities R.Steiner mentions in this final talk.

Bruce Donehower will follow with a talk addressing the significance of Novalis and connect this to the festival of Michael.

We hope to welcome you at 2938 Washington Street, Dakin Hall* at 3 pm for this special event. Doors open at 2.30 pm.

Parking in the neighborhood is very limited and SFWS requests that you consider taking public transport or ride share as much as possible. If you come in your own vehicle please plan for ample time to find legal parking.
