Michael Celebration in San Francisco

September 11, 2024 By Monika Leitz

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.

For more information contact Monika Leitz, through skyleitz@gmail.com

*please note this is the Grade School campus of SFWS

Ways to Social Healing

September 3, 2024 By Mark Zweifel

Introductory Course 10/24 – 10/27

Methods for meditative work and spiritual schooling

While we tried our best at writing an introduction to this work (see: https://social-healing.org/books/), experience shows that it is really helpful to be introduced to the practices by experienced practitioners.

On this page, we will provide ways for you to get in touch if you’re interested in trying out methods like the Logic of the Heart for finding Inner Peace and your sense for truth, the Logic of the Will for finding just and harmonizing actions in the world, Image Dialogue Work for getting an in-depth understanding of life situations and karmic tasks, or Spiritual Dialogue Meditation which is a deepening of all the previous practices and gradually strengthens your connection to your Higher Self, unfolds your potential capacities, and connects you to your life mission or vocation, i.e. the conscious application of your capacities for the benefit of others.

More about the Basic Methods and & Preparation for Spiritual Awakening

You’re invited to a 3,5-day in-person workshop in San Rafael to experience an introduction to the Basic Methods of Social Healing.

Dates: 10/24 – 10/27

Times: 10:00 am – 7:00 pm PDT

Location: 108 Greenwood Ave, San Rafael, CA 94901

Cost: $350

Renewal of Science Conference

August 22, 2024 By Leslie Murchy

Oct. 31 – Nov. 2, 2024 : Computer History Museum : Mountain View, CA

The Foundation for Cultural Renewal https://www.renewalofculture.org/ – invites you to a conference that will bring together various streams of science under one umbrella, including color, heat, electromagnetism, astronomy, chemistry, biology, social science and a discussion on AI.
The Natural Science Section, Medical Section, and (tentatively) the Pedagogical Section of the Anthroposophical Society will be represented at this conference. It will be ideal for anyone who has an interest in the basic ideas of science, and even suited to those in a university or tech sector setting. Both those who are familiar with anthroposophy and those who are not should find significant value in the presentations. It would also be a great help for Waldorf pedagogy, and hence could double up as teacher training for faculty or as a field trip for 10th-12th grade students. If parents want to know more about the source of the scientific ideas their kids are being taught – this should work for them too. Note that students have the option of requesting a scholarship.

Event Website and video: Here https://www.renewalofculture.org/renewalofscience
Date: October 31st – November 2nd, 2024
Location: Computer History Museum, Mountain View, CA
Ticket link: Early Bird until August 31st (Sept 30 for students) https://www.tickettailor.com/events/foundationforculturalrenewal/1268808
Nearby Hotel discount: Applicable until Sept 30th
