Greetings!
In this issue, there are several contributions from people who have participated in recent events and conferences. Others have committed to write something in 6 months, after they have had a chance to assess the results and work further with others. This a welcome trend, and provides evidence that the programs are leading to concrete results.
Perhaps this will inspire more of us to include post-event activities as an integral part of the planning process. This way, we can help people to move beyond consuming the results of spiritual-scientific research, and to learn how to become developers and producers.
Please keep writing, folks...

Ways of Knowing
Isabela Seabra wrote to tell us about a community event in Duncan BC on November 14. (Unfortunately, the date will have passed by the time you receive this issue of the eNews. However, perhaps some of you who attended would like to write something about the event for the next issue.) :

Why The Greeks Matter
 Ryan Kouroukis has been studying Greek culture for many years. In this issue of the e-news, he shares some highlights. Ryan also leads Greek theatre workshops in Toronto, and hosts a lively discussion group on Facebook.
Out of all the civilizations that have existed, it is perhaps the ancient Greeks that have inspired continuous generations since their brief golden legacy and have contributed more to our modern civilization in all our functions and knowing than anyone else... Read more. |

Echoes of the Whitehorse Conference
- Photo copyright Anthony Perzel
Here is an excerpt from Susan Locey's article...Click here to read the full text.
...If we could receive in all humility these gifts from the North as offerings from spirits of evolution, we could take up into our inner life these potential reservoirs of light forces. The Apocalypse reveals pictures of the earth in the process of dying. Perhaps this dying is like an arctic landscape, outwardly barren most of the time, but filled with potential pictures for new life. The North can reveal for us how change can lead not only to death but through death to transformation-even to resurrection.

Lessons With Arthur Zajonc...
Several participants wrote in to share some of their experiences from the weekend with Arthur Zajonc...Click here for the full texts...
"For me it was a pivotal time, and I could actually make a renewed commitment to the Anthroposophical society. For a while I was struggling with the perceived "closed mindedness" of many society members, but after hearing him speak..."
"...it was exceptionally helpful on a personal basis, however as we know selfdevelopment is not simply a personal affair, but has its consequences into the social organism and context in which one finds oneself. So, that goes for me into the work with my special needs friends, with the work of the Class, with many other ramifications which I may not even as yet be so aware of."
"...How much inner expansion have I the capacity for without allowing fear and grasping to rule my sense of truth?' I feel that this is what Arthur Zajonc challenges us to do, with his excellent bridging work between science, Anthroposophy, and various forms of meditative teachings from other great masters..." |

Oil Dispersion Worskshop With Thomas von Rottenburg
 Participant Sandra Fecht submitted this article about the recent Arscura Workshop.
...We quickly warmed to our workshop leader. Thomas is gentle, informative, a wonderful story teller, and has an infectious passion about the healing energies of the oils. He shared that along with curative eurythmy, and artistic therapies, the proper use of essential oils is one of the most powerful healing methods...He told us that the healing is not about the essential oil, but the oil forming process. There are different ways to interact with the oil according to the levels of our different bodies...He invited us to get to know the oils through three different methods... Read more |
