May our feeling
penetrate
To the centerpoint
of our hearts
And seek, in love,
to unite itself
With human beings
of like goal
And with spirit beings,
full of grace,
Who strengthen us
from realms of light
And illuminate our love
While gazing down
On our earnest,
heart-felt striving.
Rudolf Steiner, 1923

Wherever you summer...
There is much inspiring reading available
online. Some is available as MP3 audio, like Lynn Jericho's
podcasts on the 12 senses. (Scroll down to the overview, or
choose the senses you're most intrigued by.)
At the excellent online magazine
Southern
Cross Review, Keith Francis' lectures on "Alchemy &
Anthroposophy" numbers
one and
two are available, with the third coming soon.
Lilipoh, a print magazine with many online features, has something
new
about the bees (one of whom is busy at left), and something a
few years old but worth reading
for July 4th: "The Will to Power and Its Tragic Consequences for
America and the World," by Christopher Schaefer. (You may need to
scroll down a bit to see these articles.)
Also of bee-interest is
Spikenard
Farm, started by Gunther Hauk and friends to help save the bees
(and us with them). They have a beautiful photo gallery.
We have many interesting things to read on the site--see our
History page--and we'll be adding more.
The Threefold
Foundation in Spring Valley, Rockland County, north of the city,
was where, from the 1930s on, New York anthroposophists repaired in the summer. Their
new site also has an
interesting history page. And on July 10th they offer an evening
program on "the
creative secrets of water."
Theme of the Year 2008:
Practices Leading to a Culture of the Heart

notifications for advance notice of fall events.
We'll add more links here shortly.
And consider these summer options (more
on the program page):
RUDOLF STEINER INSTITUTE: July 6-26
IN Vermont
One of summer's great pleasures is the chance
to spend a week or two or three at this unique
institute. Newcomers to anthroposophy mingle with
others who have spent decades teaching or farming or caring for
others or doing art. All the practices growing out of Rudolf
Steiner's work are represented, in the programs or in the people.
Check out
the site!
Sunbridge College,
north of NYC in Rockland County, features summer programs for
Waldorf Educators and a "Courage to Teach/Courage to Lead"
program at the beginning of August. On the same campus
in July there is a weeklong "Self Development through
Creative Speech"; contact
Michael Steinrueck for details.
Engagement & Consciousness
08, for young people, takes place in
Stuttgart, Germany July 20-Aug 1, with Orland Bishop and Nicanor
Perlas (English and German).
festival.forum comes in the
end week of July, at the Goetheanum in Switzerland, about the
youth impulse, but for all ages.
