Bringing together the worlds of painting and poetry, image and text, this stunning exhibition is a harvest of the collaborations between Sir Ben Okri and Rosemary Clunie. Preoccupied by the shadows and beauty of the world, the climate change crisis, social injustices, creativity and playfulness, the marvel that is colour, the enigma that is form -these painting come from two artists steeped in the spiritual and artistic traditions.

A cutting-edge inter-disciplinary exposition into the nature of Beauty – how it pertains to cosmology, mathematics, metaphysics, and consciousness, including society design and systems theory.

Monday 29 April7pm - 8.30pm
with 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 particularly into your hearts, for they contain what can make the soul alive and what really corresponds to a living relationship of the soul forces to the forces of the macrocosm.’ - Rudolf Steiner, CW 40, 1912
Each 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 continue to work our way through the changing nature of the year.

with Lee Scopes
In these 11 Lectures (GA197) Rudolf Steiner unfolds the spiritual background to many social questions around the theme of the polarities of West and East, Materialism and Mysticism, Knowledge and Belief. He makes visible the forces of decline active in modern civilisation, and how these forces are trying to wrest human destiny from the active participation of human beings. He presents with profound poignancy how the Christ is pouring a new spirit into human evolution.

Friday 3 May7pm - 8.30pm
with Ted Prestbury
This talk will explore the relationship between a person’s actions and the moral and legal consequences. How does the English legal system attempt to address these issues and achieve justice? Does the English legal system reflect universal spiritual laws, and can we find in it the laws of karma?
Ted has worked with Anthroposophy for over 40 years. He qualified as a solicitor in 1978 and remained in private practice until 2016. He worked as a lawyer in the city, the west end and in a country practice. He specialised in mental health work and held judicial office for 29 years.

Friday 3 May 7.30pm - Saturday 15 June 7.30pm
Alexander ‘Sandy’ Marshall, Bird & Carrot, David Luff and Wild Yak present ‘There’s no money in honesty!’
A comedy about hypocrites, hysterics and hustlers.
An over-privileged, vainglorious liar is mistaken for a high-ranking government inspector by the corrupt local officials of a parochial town. Desperate to cover up their crimes and escape censure, the town’s Governor and his cronies pull out all the stops to try and bribe this dishonest buffoon with money, wine and women.
The Government Inspector is Nikolai Gogol’s masterful comedy about how corrupt power destroys itself, exposing the tragi-comic consequences of collective delusion and the swindlers who would exploit it.

Friday 10 May7pm - 8.30pm
with Angela Lord
An illustrated presentation giving an overview of past civilisations in the development of human consciousness. We will consider the karma of our previous earthly lives in this context, and some of the implications for the present day. The themes will include the Fall from Paradise in Lemurian times, Atlantean technology, and the karmic consequences of the mystery streams of Ancient Egypt and Greece.
In her book ‘The Archetypal Human-Animal’ (Temple Lodge Press), Angela includes her research on the Fall from Paradise and its consequences in considerable detail. It includes many relevant and remarkable insights from Rudolf Steiner which throw light onto our human and world development.
Angela Lord is a painter and author. Her books include: Colour Dynamics, Books I and II; Form Drawing; and four illustrated books on Rudolf Steiner's four large watercolour paintings, which contain substantial research material on each theme.

Friday 17 May7pm - 8.30pm
with Eric Klein
The talk will examine the origins of music from the spiritual world as it makes its way into earthly evolution, from the ‘Music of the Spheres’ through the incarnation of Christ and as expressed in the compositions of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner and especially the 20th century music of Dmitri Shostakovich. We will ask questions about the karmic development of man and these great composers, why it is only in the last few hundred years that Western Classical Art Music has evolved on Earth, and how and why this music affects us and our future evolution. Could we have evolved as we have without this music? The karma of Dmitri Shostakovich, his life in Russia, and his impact on humanity will be the main focus.
Eric Klein was born and raised in an Anthroposophic home in New York, educated at the Rudolf Steiner School in New York City, before training as a concert musician at the Manhattan School of Music. His life’s journey has gone through Harvard Business School, the Christian Community Seminary in Stuttgart, Germany before settling in England in 2002. He has worked as a performing musician, composer, conductor, teacher and lecturer.

The one-day workshops planned for weekends at Rudolf Steiner House in 2023 and 2024 aim to provide an overview over the core elements of Michael Chekhov’s acting technique that he continued to develop throughout his life. They range from the very beginnings of any serious artistic research and exploration to the finer points of developing a stage life and creating character, including the character’s psychological gesture.
The workshops aim to introduce participants to or deepen their understanding of the strongly creative and highly artistic techniques developed by the Russian actor in the middle of the twentieth century. They also aim to inspire and empower actors for their future work.

A new sequence of Chekhov workshops will be starting in the autumn of 2024.

What’s it like to have Autism? How can we best relate to those living with this challenge? Autism spectrum disorder ranges from a very severe disability, clearly present in early childhood, to mild difficulty with social interactions that can often go unnoticed until adult hood. Helen will share her experience of working with children who have Autism and offer us some recent research into its possible causes and how it can best be approached.
Helen is an anthroposophist. She was a Waldorf class teacher for a number of years. She is currently teaching in mainstream and has spent some time in a specialist autistic setting.

Saturday 25 May7pm - 9pm
The year we are living in now marks the 100th anniversary of an astonishingly productive and fruitful year in the life of Rudolf Steiner. It began with the Christmas Conference, during which the Anthroposophical Society was reborn and the Foundation Stone Meditation given. There followed a whole array of new initiatives, including the beginning of the School for Spiritual Science and initiatives in the realm of the arts, medicine and agriculture. That year witnessed Rudolf Steiner’s vital contribution to the bringing of a new understanding of karma to humanity with his Karmic Relationships lectures, as well as the serialised Leading Thoughts, which summarise Anthroposophy in a series of aphoristic guidelines for meditation, supplemented by essays on the Michaelic nature of Anthroposophy.
Peter Selg was born in Stuttgart and studied medicine in Witten-Herdecke, Zurich, and Berlin. Until 2000, he worked as the head physician of the juvenile psychiatry department of Herdecke hospital in Germany. He is currently part of the leadership group at the world headquarters of the Anthroposophical Society at the Geotheanum in Switzerland, co-leader of the General Anthroposophical Section and director of the Ita Wegman Institute. He lectures extensively and is the author of numerous books. His comprehensive biography of Rudolf Steiner is published in 7 volumes. Volume 7 covers 1924 – 1925 and includes a lecture by Rudolf Steiner on June 4, 1924, ‘The Festival of Pentecost’.

Monday 27 May7pm - 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 particularly into your hearts, for they contain what can make the soul alive and what really corresponds to a living relationship of the soul forces to the forces of the macrocosm.’ - Rudolf Steiner, CW 40, 1912
Each 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 continue to work our way through the changing nature of the year.

He makes visible the forces of decline active in modern civilisation, and how these forces are trying to wrest human destiny from the active participation of human beings.

Friday 31 May7pm - 8.30pm
with Dr. Peter Gruenewald
Suffering from a chronic physical or mental illness can be an existential challenge that may seemingly limit our self-expression and even social reach. It can be caused by experiences and deeds in previous lives but may also be a preparation to acquire new life skills for a future lifetime. In fact, organs that are weak in one incarnation, may become organs of strength in a next life. All illness, even physical illnesses have to be understood from their spiritual, soul, vital and physical and social aspect. Once we understand these dimensions of illness and its individual purpose, we can start to work on improving the conditions by means that strengthen our physical, vital, emotional and spiritual constitution.
We will in this context look at two statements: ‘All illnesses are musical problems.’ (Novalis) and Paracelsus: ‘The foundation of all medicine is love.’ We will explore the question: How can we use spiritual development and initiation to work towards a true and sustainable state of health, physically, vitally, emotionally and spiritually?
Dr Peter Gruenewald is an anthroposophical doctor, general practitioner, specialist doctor in sleep medicine and a trainer in Adaptive Resilience and stress management. He is the author of the books: Rosicrucian Alchemy. A Spiritual Christian Path (2024). Mastering Life. Rosicrucian and Magical Techniques for achieving your Life’s Goals (2022). Manifesting your Best Future Self: Building Adaptive Resilience (2020). The Quiet Heart. Putting Stress in its Place (2007).

Studying the book, a first glance into supersensible worlds is given. ‘One of the fairest fruits of the pursuit of Spiritual Science is that it lends strength and firmness to life. Inexhaustible is the fountainhead from which it draws, giving human being strength for work and confidence in life’ - Rudolf Steiner.

with Dr Andrew Welburn
Reincarnation points to all the things we have been and still may be. It is often contrasted with Christianity's focus on one's present self and hope for salvation. But reincarnation is not just an oriental idea. In fact, it has formed part of Jewish as well as several major Christian perspectives. Rudolf Steiner is neither just East or West but shows how we can find a universal understanding of karma, transforming how we think of our lives and our responsibility for the world.
Andrew has been an academic in the fields of English Literature and biblical interpretation and history. A life-long Anthroposophist, he has written several books on Rudolf Steiner’s philosophy, esotericism, and Christianity, and on the prophet Zarathustra.

with Sarah Kane
The one-day workshops planned for weekends at Rudolf Steiner House in 2023 and 2024 aim to provide an overview over the core elements of Michael Chekhov’s acting technique that he continued to develop throughout his life. They range from the very beginnings of any serious artistic research and exploration to the finer points of developing a stage life and creating character, including the character’s psychological gesture.
The workshops aim to introduce participants to or deepen their understanding of the strongly creative and highly artistic techniques developed by the Russian actor in the middle of the twentieth century. They also aim to inspire and empower actors for their future work.
The Imaginary Centre
Saturday 22 June, 10am - 5pm
As a further tool in Chekhov’s approach to developing character, and a follow-on from the Ideal Centre, discovering the Imaginary Centre with the help again of the actor’s imagination, can be enormously enriching and transformative. It will involve exploring colour, forms and textures, its home in the body, as well as real and imaginary objects, all inspired by the character and inviting the actor to transform everything relating to his or her outer appearance.As usual, please bring clothing and footwear suitable for movement, as well as a short text that a character might speak. it will be helpful to know this text by heart.
A new sequence of Chekhov workshops will be starting in the autumn of 2024.
Workshop Fee: £55 per individual day; £150.00 for three workshops.
Please book in advance: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/rudolf-steiner-house/e-plaorq or in person on the day in the Bookshop.

with Dr Sue Peat and Douglas Davidson
Biodynamics is an organic method of cultivation arising out of Rudolf Steiner’s Spiritual research. It works with the rhythms of the movements of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars, to which the plants respond. The workshop will cover the background to the biodynamic planting calendar and using the biodynamic preparations. It’s summer and so we will focus on sharing tips for caring for flowers and food plants – from flowers and windowsill herbs to fruit trees. For the last hour, we’ll stir the horn manure preparation (known as 500), so bring an empty screw top bottle if you would like to take some home. A 500ml bottle is enough for an average garden. The workshop is suitable for those new to biodynamics and for anyone who would like to give their garden, window boxes or house plants a summer treat!
Sue and Douglas are enthusiastic gardeners with lots of practical experience of biodynamic gardening.

Lecture by Frank Burdich
Reading about elemental beings or nature spirits can leave an abstract impression of something not quite real. Frank has been actively collaborating with the elemental world for more than ten years and so can speak from a wealth of experience about their nature, purpose, and structure, as well as their desire to work with humans. He will also present different methods for perceiving them.
Frank Burdich was for 14 years an Upper School science teacher at a Waldorf School in Germany during which time he pursued an Anthroposophical spiritual path and became clairvoyant. He has been lecturing on supersensible perception since 2007, and in 2012 founded his own supersensible research company Gesellschaft für angewandte Geistesforschung mbH which provides supersensible research services in a range of contexts such as medicine preparation, mistletoe based remedies, oncology, special needs conditions and the spiritual audit of buildings, as well as lecturing and giving workshops on a variety of spiritual topics.
http://www.spiritual-research.eu/en/
£10 cash on the door.
For further information please contact Alex Wright on 01342 827967
Frank will be giving two further lectures as well as a 1½ day workshop at Emerson College in the days following this lecture. Please see https://calendar.emerson.org.uk/events/frank-burdich-workshop/ for full details.

The Character’s Psychological Gesture
Saturday 29 June, 10am - 5pm
What is often considered to be the crown of Chekhov’s approach to acting, the psychological gesture is a further development of what he calls the archetypal gestures: whatever gesture expresses the character’s overall intention becomes entirely individual to the character being performed when complemented by specific qualities. The workshop will explore qualities as well as search for the gesture that expresses the character’s intention in the text.As usual, please bring clothing and footwear suitable for movement, as well as a short text that a character might speak. it will be helpful to know this text by heart in order to find the character’s psychological gesture.

These profoundly esoteric lectures examine the laws inherent in reincarnation and karma and explore in detail the incarnations of specific historical figures. The opportunity to study this lecture series in a group affords us a chance to really get to grips with these fundamental issues, which demonstrate the realities of the workings of karma in human life.

In these 11 Lectures (GA197) Rudolf Steiner unfolds the spiritual background to many social questions around the theme of the polarities of West and East, Materialism and Mysticism, Knowledge and Belief. He makes visible the forces of decline active in modern civilisation, and how these forces are trying to wrest human destiny from the active participation of human beings. He presents with profound poignancy how the Christ is pouring a new spirit into human evolution.

with Dagmar Steffelbauer
Occult Science was first written by Steiner in 1909 and after that, three revised editions (1913, 1920 & 1925) followed. Studying the book, a first glance into supersensible worlds is given. ‘One of the fairest fruits of the pursuit of Spiritual Science is that it lends strength and firmness to life. Inexhaustible is the fountainhead from which it draws, giving human being strength for work and confidence in life’ - Rudolf Steiner.
All are welcome!

Monday 8 July7pm - 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 particularly into your hearts, for they contain what can make the soul alive and what really corresponds to a living relationship of the soul forces to the forces of the macrocosm.’ - Rudolf Steiner, CW 40, 1912
Each 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 continue to work our way through the changing nature of the year.

Meeting ID: 826 3212 9836
Passcode: 755359Our reading groups provide the opportunity in a very informal setting to explore Rudolf Steiner’s work with others. There is no need for any prior participation or knowledge, and everyone, young and old, is very welcome to join us at any time, just once or as often as it suits. We aim to create a friendly, inviting atmosphere, as good humoured as it is serious. Working together, we share our reflections on the immediate theme and try to pay as much attention to listening as to speaking. We find that studying together provides a wonderful opportunity for the whole group to advance in knowledge and understanding. Members and friends are warmly invited to groups at any time even for one-off visits. Previous participation is not necessary and there is no need to book.

Lecture by Thomas Mayer
We all live together with the deceased. The souls who are in spiritual regions support us from within with strength, love, trust and inspiration. The more we open ourselves to them and reciprocate their friendship, the better they can do this. Thomas Mayer has been in conscious contact with many deceased people for over 20 years and will talk about this in his lecture.
He will also describe how the normal after-death path leads to the next incarnation. Nowadays however, many souls can no longer find their way into the light, spiritual world, and end up in dead ends, in entangled unhealthy states. In their distress, they then occupy other people, siphon off energy, and cause spiritual, mental and physical difficulties and social strife. Thomas Mayer has been helping such deceased people to overcome their obstacles for many years and has observed that energy blockages in places and houses, or depression, panic, fears or deep grief in a possessed person, have been released as a result. Such connections have so far been underestimated in the public consciousness. Conversely, the incidence of mental illness is increasing rapidly. The good news is that we are not at the mercy of this. It is possible to help affected people and the deceased.
Thomas Mayer is a Meditation teacher, civil rights activist, and author of ‘Answering the Call of the Elementals’ published by Findhorn Press, ‘Overcoming Fear - Exercises for Spiritual Self-Defense’ and ‘Covid Vaccines from a Spiritual Perspective’.

£15 cash on the door.

Thomas will be leading a workshop on Anthroposophical Meditation, as well as outdoor exercises to contact elementals and exercises to connect to the deceased, at Emerson College from 7pm Friday 20th September to 12.30pm Sunday 22nd September.

Friday 11 October 5pm - Sunday 13 October 1pm
How can we work creatively in our increasingly dehumanising culture? The growing prevalence of AI and Transhumanism is socially corrosive. Can we hone the necessary discernment to engage healthily with the possibilities of our modern technology without becoming enthralled by its debilitating effects? This weekend seminar will identify the threats to our still unfinished human evolution, and also explore the inner practicesthrough which we can develop spiritual resilience, and cultivate our true human potential.
Our speakers will include Jeremy Naydler and Edwin Hübner.
Programme and seminar fee to be announced.
