Thursday 16 May6.30pm - 8pm
with Marjatta van Boeschoten
Developing inner resources for living a more conscious and creative life
Each of us has the capacity to reach a calm inner space, from where we can draw on our deepest resources to build strong foundations for life. Meditation helps us strengthen the quality of our attention, be more awake and present in the moment and open to fresh possibilities and horizons for the future. From this vantage point we can take up the multiple challenges of life with greater equanimity, resilience, insight and enthusiasm.
In these three workshops, Marjatta van Boeschoten will draw on indications and exercises given by Rudolf Steiner for developing a western, contemporary meditative practice. Each session will contain content, exercises and conversation and is suitable for both newcomers and those already experienced in meditative practice.
Marjatta practised as a lawyer, then founded a management consultancy specialising in human development at work. She is the General Secretary of the Anthroposophical Society.
£10 (£8 conc.) per session
£25 (£ 20 conc.) for all 3 sessionsBook online: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/rudolf-steiner-house/e-raqelx or In person at the Bookshop (on the day)

Monday 24 June7pm - 8.30pm
with Dr. Sue Peat and Adrian Hotten
Rudolf Steiner’s collection of fifty-two meditative verses were first published in German in 1912. These verses, representing the fifty-two weeks of the year, begin with Easter week and offer thoughts that help us find a deeper relationship with the spiritual forces at work throughout the year.
'You should take these meditations quite especially into your hearts, for they contain what can enliven the soul and really represents a living relationship of soul forces with forces of the macrocosm.’--
Rudolf Steiner, CW 40, 1912Each verse appears alongside the corresponding opposite verse for the week, that represents a kind of mirror, or compensating force during the year. In listening to the changing language of the year we can rediscover our individual nature. These verses help to awaken a feeling of unity with nature while simultaneously stimulating a discovery of the self. We will mainly be using the Ruth & Hans Pusch translation of the verses and The Year Participated, an interpretation and translation by Owen Barfield. Both are readily available to purchase or can be found on the internet. Members of the Meetup group already receive the verses week by week by email.
Come and join us as we work our way through the changing nature of the year.
