Immerse yourself in three full days of meditation, practical methods, and group exercises designed to strengthen your inner peace, empathy, sense for truth, and ability to work co-creatively with others.  While meditating takes focus, most participants find themselves rejuvenated by this workshop!

Whether you’re familiar with anthroposophy or exploring new spiritual practices, this course offers tools to help you free your mind from clutter, navigate relationships with clarity, and connect to your higher self.

The meditative methods taught are based on indications in Rudolf Steiner’s Knowledge of Higher Worlds and his other texts.  Processes are broken down step by step, following spiritual laws, resulting in meditative methods that are powerful and effective.  Spur your movement forward on your spiritual path through these amazing methods.

What to Expect:

If you’re ready to step into a more grounded, peaceful, and empowered version of yourself, this workshop will give you tools and practices to:

  • Let go of mind-clutter and emotional drama.
  • Navigate relationships with greater clarity and equanimity.
  • Discover tools to help you connect with your higher spiritual purpose.
  • Harmonize thinking, feeling, and willing.

What You’ll Discover in this Transformative Workshop:

Through a combination of individual meditations and group work, you’ll:

  • Develop your capacity for empathy and perspective-switching.
  • Strengthen your sense for truth and inner peace.
  • Learn to process feelings and beliefs while transforming inner hindrances.
  • Connect to spiritual beings and to your higher self.
  • Navigate challenges with clarity and balance.

This workshop isn’t just about intellectual ideas—it’s about practicing and applying methods that support your inner growth.

You’ll engage in hands-on exercises, share your experiences with others in an intimate and immersive setting, and leave with tools you can apply immediately to your personal and spiritual growth.

Eurythmy Performances in the Bay Area

February 4, 2025 By Monika Leitz

Eurythmy Spring Valley Ensemble is touring the wider Bay Area with their Program

“A Shovel of Stars Overhead: Where to? What next?”

The Eurythmy Spring Valley Ensemble is one of the most active eurythmy touring groups situated in the US. The ensemble has toured and performed continuously since 1986, bringing full evening programs, children’s programs, and special performance projects to schools, communities, and conferences all over North America, Europe, and Asia. It has been more than a decade since Eurythmy Spring Valley has come to Northern California. Join us for these rare opportunities, additional dates are coming.

“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. Levertov and other poets in the program orient us to the transcendent presence of the invisible in our midst. Evocative 20th-century American composer Henry Cowell sets the stage, while contemporary composer Grigory Smirnov threads through the tensions to a quieter, inner place. The rich harmonies of Sibelius and Chopin weave past into future, and east into west, leading us to the grandeur, purpose, and elemental urge in Antonin Dvorak‘s final movement of the “Dumky” piano trio. Written not long before Dvorak’s maiden voyage to America, the trio’s changing harmonies and rhythms seem to anticipate the dawning vistas of a new land, and reflect something of the elusive and vast, young and surging, fighting but maturing American spirit.

The Saturday show is sold out. Please purchase tickets for Sunday in advance, availability is limited:http://ticketsource.us/eana

Storytelling as a Healing Art – With Nancy Mellon

January 6, 2025 By Administrator Bay Area Center for Waldorf Teacher Training

Saturday, January 11, 2025 | 9am-3pm

Bay Area Center for Waldorf Teacher Training, 3800 Clark Road, El Sobrante, CA 94803

Explore pathways to story making and storytelling that strengthen heart wisdom and inspire vital creative confidence.

This requires courage and belief in the value of our own authentic feelings and voice.

Nancy teaches refreshing approaches to inspired story making and storytelling that evolve more conscious expression, heartfelt resilience, and wellbeing for both adults and children! All are welcome. 

Nancy Mellon is a counselor and mentor who has nurtured storytelling of a healing art internationally since the 1990s. A former Waldorf teacher, her courses and workshops brim with creativity, inspiring deep listening and vital new perspectives. She is the author of several books, including Storytelling with Children. Healing Storytelling, the new third edition of Storytelling and the Art of Imagination, is published by Hawthorn Press UK. healingstory.com
