Anticipating the North...
This coming August participants from many countries will come together in Whitehorse, Yukon, for the week-long conference Encircling Light - Expectant Silence. As I continue to prepare for this week, it seems good to bring together intentions, questions, insights and nuances from some of those who will take part in it.  Click here for the rest of Philip's letter...

Letter From Cornelius Pietzner
 
Brenda Dear Friends,

We reported last month about the diverse and important developments in the extended asian pacific region and the recent anthroposophical and pedagogical conferences that took place in Manilla at the end of April and beginning of May.
This issue of Anthroposophy Worldwide takes a look ahead to the Michaelmas Conference, co-hosted with Camphill, which will turn to Community Building, and offers reports on a number of initiatives and travels from Cuba to Japan and Taiwan. The summer beckons, and conferences and further travels to work with country Societies and different initiatives are just around the corner. All of these will give substance to upcoming reports in Anthroposophy Worldwide!

Sincerely
Cornelius Pietzner
For the Executive Council

Encircling Light: A Russian Perspective
 
By Tatiana Pavlova, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation

What is the North? Geographically, it is the huge area of ocean and land from the North Pole to the Pole Circle, including the Ice Ocean with islands and archipelagos and high latitude lands of Eurasia and America. Economically, it is a pantry of nature wealth which is really hard to approach. Emotionally, it is a big source of romantic experiences connected with special beauty of nature and the necessity to overcome ourselves, even to survive. If we looked at the North through these "lenses", we would recognize it as consumers only. In this case, we will try to subjugate the North by exploiting mineral deposits and increasing northern tourism. And people have done that, at least during the last hundred years! But if we look at the North with open eyes, we could recognize some special challenges for our future development. Read more...

Healing Invitation
 
Greetings,
As a conventionally trained medical doctor, working out of anthroposophy, my hope is to keep anthroposophic medicine alive in Canada.  I am writing to let you know about our organization.  It is called the Canadian Anthroposophic Medical Association (CAMA).  Its purpose is to promote the practice and evolution of anthropsophically extended medicine.  Founded in 1989 and incorporated in 1991, it is made up of physicians, therapists, students and supporters of anthroposophic medicine.  We have annual medical conferences and newsletters to help encourage a growing awareness and work in anthroposophic medicine.
 
If you would like to join CAMA and receive our newsletter, please contact 905-882-4949 and ask for a membership application.
 
Sincerely,
Dr.Nedi Eckler
