SCHEDULE

I-day:

What

are our responsibilities as individuals? We will address the importance of why we need to take responsibility of our “I” within thinking, feeling and willing.

How can we develop this quality with joy and maturity?

We-day

we need each other? How can we truly meet as human beings?

The WE day is about agreements and commitments between individuals and communities, inviting a future in which we can step into our potential.

World-day

How

can we be of service to the world and what are our hopes and intentions for humanity? This day is about overcoming obstacles to consciously decide which future we want to create

“Becoming Human - challenges and chances for human dignity”

Solidarity is an essential value today to recognise the needs of the others and find the will to engage with them. We also need openness and awareness of current world situations to discern what is coming from the future.

“Money and Consciousness”

Ethical banking. Spain

Everything I need is done by someone else, this is the principle of economy: interdependence. The problem is that today we just look at the price and are not conscious about the human activity behind the product.

"Becoming Fully Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence"

The challenge of Artificial Intelligence, as with any other challenge, is that it can only be faced through collective action. No human being can do this alone and diversity is a trigger for for tremendous creativity.

Transformation
Become more inwardly aware of our connection and responsibility for our lives...

Andrea is a co-worker of the Youth Section at the Goetheanum, where she focuses on the research project “(Re)Search – The Spiritual Striving of Youth: Defining our Reality”. In her workshop we will explore how to facilitate meaningful encounters where people can open up to each other and connect. Together we will look at the research project as a case study of “humanizing” science, where the individual experience and the connection with another is key to understand ourselves, and our wishes.

How can we reconnect with simple things we encounter in life beyond the border of my habitual life? with JOY! This is not workshop, this is ‘Pause shop’ , to make a pause from daily life and to be present and create space to reconnect with the natural environment (Soil) , Inner dimension (Soul), Social relationship(Society).
We will work with words, stories, silence, space, non-verbal communication (eg Eurythmy) and HUMOUR! !
and we will be open for a new story to emerge.

Through the lens of Theory U, learning how to build and hold sacred space, and reflective processes, this workshop will offer tools to help identify where mindfulness and activism can intersect and create a space of communal kinship, a new understanding of economics, and how to build a more compassionate future with initiatives which challenge our current political and economic systems.

"How can we tame/domesticate the recently discovered ‘wild animal’ called technology?" The wild beast that eats an average of 8 hours of our time a day and makes us live in a blurry cloud. How can it truly serve us instead of the other way around? And how to find a balance between this digital fragmented cloud and ‘real life’?

We will discover this and more in a dialogue-workshop. Feel very welcome!”

Scientific knowledge and technology are advancing very fast.
This has led to a bifurcation in the future evolution of humanity.
This development seeks to ultimately replace humans of earth evolution while promising super health, super intelligence, super strength, and physical immortality.On the other hand, we have the second more spiritual scientific revolution in diverse fields as quantum physics, epigenetic biology, neuroscience, astrophysics, linguistics, among others.

From the Many to the One
This workshop aims at using the keen abilities Theater has endowed us with: consciousness in speech and movement, soul gestures and fantasy, combined with different social exercises in an attempt to reach a living inner vision of the very nature of the human being.
Each and every one of us, carries inside the Archetype, hidden behind veils. May we cast them away together, and reach our Humanity.

Imagine your life as a garden…
how do you see this garden?
you feel at home there?
who do you allow to visit your garden?
how does it connect to other gardens within the greater world garden?

The Anthroposophy Basic Toolkit’

Many subjects are covered, including the four-fold human being, karma and reincarnation, good & evil and the purpose of project Human.

NOVALIS EURYTHMIE ENSEMBLE

WANDEL DER ZEITEN / AWAKENING TIDES OF OUR TIMES

Mensch und Weltenwerden im Wendepunkt /

The Human Being and Worldly Becoming at a Turning Point

Im Mittelpunkt dieses Eurythmie-Programmes steht Fürchtet euch nicht von Marie Luise Kaschnitz, ein langes Gedicht, welches sich durch das ganze Programm zieht. Das Gedicht greift die Thematik der Zerstörungskräfte des Menschen auf und stellt dem gegenüber die kulturschaffenden Kräfte im Menschen. Im heute brennenden Weltgeschehen kann sich ein jeder die Frage nach einer würdigen Menschheitszukunft stellen. In diesem Sinne ist dieses Gedicht aus den 1950er Jahren heute noch höchst aktuell. Die musikalischen Werke von Béla Bartók, Franz Liszt, György Ligeti, J.S. Bach und Siegfrieds Trauermarsch aus Richard Wagners Götterdämmerung tragen zur Vertiefung der entstehenden Stimmungsbilder bei.

Situated at the heart of this eurythmy performance is the poem, Fuerchtet euch nicht (Do not be afraid) by Marie Luise Kaschnitz, a long poem that weaves through the entire programme. The poem deals with the destructive impulses of the human being in juxtaposition to the creative cultural forces within humanity. In our burning times the question of a worthy human future is eminent. In this sense Kaschnitz's poem from the 1950's is still highly appropriate for today. Musical pieces by Béla Bartók, Franz Liszt, György Ligeti, J.S. Bach and Siegfried's Funeral March from Richard Wagners 'Götterdämmerung' contribute, enhancing the images within the poems

"Und Täuschung nur wäre und Trugbild das Bauwerk des

Friedens,

Errichtet aus Seelen der Menschen, aus singenden

Steinen,

Von Sehnsucht getrieben, emporwachsend

wolkenentgegen,

Von ewiger Schönheit verklärt?"

"Aber hören wir denn, wie der Baum sich entfaltet, der

junge?

Hören wir denn, wie die Liebe sich auftut im Herzen,

Wie ein Werk sich entfaltet und wächst in des

Schaffenden Brust?"

"Vom Kommenden hör ich sie flüstern, die ewige

Stimme.

Nicht von Maschinen spricht sie,

Nicht von Vermehrung der Ernten,

Nicht von gewonnenem Schiffsraum...

Zusammenklang, sagt sie..."
