Eurythmy Flyer September 2023 Moon

Trained at Vienna Institute for Eurythmy in Vienna, Austria, Andrew N. Dzedulionis has taught eurythmy for grades Kindergarten through 12 at several Waldorf schools, has given adult training workshops and performed as a professional eurythmist for 20 years, both in Europe and in the United States. With the use of live music and poetry/literature, he feels that students/participants can reach higher potential.

Classes from April 29 through July are every 2 weeks, so you can build up a little experience with both the speech and music eurythmy verses. Each session’s warm up rhythms are a fun way to begin the afternoons, too.

Looking forward to see you for delightful and relaxing afternoons in the new art of eurythmy!

Michaelmas Flyer 2023 Revised

Your body is an instrument that can be tuned, allowing the word to sing forth, creatively, consciously creating your reality and through that, a deep healing can begin.

"To one who understands the sense of speech. The world unveils its image form. To one who listens to the soul of speech. The world unfolds its true being. To one who lives in the spirit depths of speech. The world gives freely Wisdom’s strength. To one who lovingly dwells on speech. Speech will accord its inner might. So I will turn my heart and mind. Toward the soul and spirit of words. In love for them I will feel myself complete and whole."
~ Rudolf Steiner

Christine warmly, humbly, offers a beginning with a study of the lectures given by Rudolf Steiner in Speech & Drama. This exploration will include working through the indications with an aim to applying the speech to texts – how do we speak forth poems, verses, stories, plays? The constellation of the group will help to determine the path.

Christine Burke, Sacred Speech Artist and professor works in the public college sector teaching Communication Studies, in Waldorf Teacher Trainings and in workshops around the world teaching Rudolf Steiner’s Art of Speech. As an active collegium member of the Social Sciences Section in North America, Christine endeavors to foster community and artistic connections in a variety of ways both within the context of anthroposophical encounters and in the world at large. Christine also serves as the western regional representative to the Anthroposophical Society in America.

Death, Dying and Preparation of the Bodywith Olivia Bareham of Sacred Crossings Sunday, November 12, 2 – 4:00pmContributions are welcome

“Dying is an act, a deed, an achievement, and a birth. When you come in, your mother births you, and when you go home, you birth yourself. Rather than agonizing over birth-ing OUT of the body, we can recognize it is a birthing process. It’s an awesome threshold either way.” Nancy Jewell Poer
A Death Doula is most often recognized as someone who assists individuals in their dying process while a Death Midwife also includes after-death care of the body, funeral and burial rituals and ceremonies. Dying is a journey, one that invites us into the depths of our human-ness. We may slide into valleys of sorrow one day and climb mountains that test our courage and endurance the next. We become deeply intimate with our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual components. This intimacy may be confronting and frightening but it may also be profoundly beautiful.
With support and guidance the death journey can be one of awe and gratitude, of expansive loving awareness never before imagined. It can be a journey filled with kindness and tenderness and peace. - Olivia Bareham ***‘My name is Olivia and I am known primarily as a death midwife, but am also a dedicated student of the Mystery, a teacher, healer, inter-faith minister, mother, grandmother, friend and Mystic. Ever since my mother died in 2005 I realized that at the moment of death and for a few days following there is a profound opportunity for healing. I turned my ministry toward the goal of inspiring and empowering others to reclaim the lost art and healing ritual of home-based after death care.
When we lean consciously into this liminal space, allow ourselves to feel the depths of our fear, love and sorrow we are re-arranged and never the same.The work is tender, raw, honest, gentle, real, alive and deeply satisfying. I fall in love over and over again and become more and more aligned to my true purpose – to help change the culture of death and dying from fear to love.’
