Commemorating Rudolf Steiner on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his death.

Daniel Polikoff will sketch some of the contours of Steiner’s revolutionary vision of “the wisdom of the human being,” accenting Steiner’s own ideas pertaining to the evolution of consciousness. Drawing upon a verse Steiner wrote near the end of his life (which will be performed in eurythmy), he will attempt, too, to view aspects of contemporary social thought through an anthroposophical lens, spotlighting the question of the nature and durability of Steiner’s legacy.

The presentation will begin promptly at 3 pm. Please plan enough time to meet and greet and be seated. Thank you.

The Soul’s Probation/The Trial of the Soul

March 27-29

10030 Fair Oaks Blvd, Fair Oaks, CA

Rudolf Steiner’s social insights, often referred to as social threefolding, provide a deeply holistic and transformative approach to today’s pressing social justice issues. In this talk, we will explore the underlying forces driving polarization in contemporary discourse and examine how a true middle path—rooted in spiritual science—can move us beyond the culture wars toward meaningful and lasting social renewal.

7 pm Pacific

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
