practice and appreciation of the arts, was established in 2003 by members

acoustic gem set in Nottawasaga Camphill Village in Angus, continues to
provide an ideal setting for presentations of drama, music and dance.

now houses a cafe and assembly room where art classes and workshops
are being presented for residents of the city and surrounding area. Fall Program Poster

Letter From Philip Thatcher
 ...Penetrating the Mystery Dramas is a
work of a lifetime and perhaps more than one lifetime. In my meeting of
them on this occasion, I was especially struck by the certainty yet
precariousness of our destiny encounters. Individual struggles come
together in moments of profound resolution as those on stage find one
another and karma comes to light...and then the moment of resolution
falls into crisis as each new stage of development brings new choices
to be made, new encounters with adversary powers and the possibility of
losing touch with others on the path. Throughout this journey the
temples of the past give way to the temples we create individually yet
together within the situations of our everyday lives... Read more |

Mot du Philip Thatcher
...P�n�trer au cœur des Drames-Myst�res, c'est le travail de toute une vie,
peut-�tre m�me de plusieurs vies. Cette-fois ci, lors de ma rencontre
avec ces drames, j'ai �t� particuli�rement frapp� par le caract�re � la
fois in�luctable et pr�caire des rencontres karmiques. Des luttes
individuelles intimes se rencontrent, produisant des moments d'une
profonde r�solution lorsque les personnages sur sc�ne se retrouvent et
que la destin�e se r�v�le; et puis, le moment de r�solution finit par
s'effondrer en crise � mesure que chaque nouvelle �tape de d�veloppement
apporte de nouveaux choix, de nouvelles rencontres avec les puissances
hostiles, et le danger de perdre tout contact avec les autres en
chemin. Tout au long de ce voyage, les temples d'antan c�dent la place
aux temples que nous cr�ons, individuellement et avec d'autres, dans les
situations de nos vies quotidiennes.... Lisez plus |

A Land Trust For B-D Farming
 A farm of 155 acres (about 65 hectares) near Iron Bridge in northern Ontario is being offered for two purposes: - to form a land trust that would hold this farm for bio-dynamic agricultural use in perpetuity -
to attract a bio-dynamic farmer to connect with it and make the
development of the farm his/her life work, in co-operation with the
land trust ...Alexandra
Barbara G�nther (Elliot Lake, Ontario) was fortunate to be able to
purchase this farm and is donating it for the purposes stated. She was

Great Cosmic Oppositions;
Great Cosmic Conversations
- by Michael Roboz
...What are the impulses that the
two hierarchical beings are trying to instill into humanity's global
will? The Saturn Throne-beings guard the past and remember past evolution.
The Jupiter-Kyriotetes transform the past into positive future.
Humanity needs to prepare for the next stage of earth evolution, the
future 'Jupiter'. The other planetary beings also enter, first more
with Saturn in Virgin, and then for the third time with Jupiter, in
the Fishes, the Sign of the Christ. Mars, cosmically wills the impulse
to be carried out by humankind with a healthful harmony. These great
Beings are challenging us in this critical time to create a new future,
transforming the old. Read the full article. |

Letter from Cornelius Pietzner
Dear Friends, The summer draws gradually to a
close. The out-breathing into the light and warmth, the inner and outer
rejuvenation through the many gatherings, conferences and meetings
gives renewed strength to turn to the main tasks belonging to our work. It would
surely fill a few editions of Anthroposophy Worldwide to describe all
the diverse conferences that have taken place, and the wonderful
opportunities that the members of the Executive Council and the School
of Spiritual Science have had to share, present and meet with Society
members and friends all over the world, and on a broad spectrum of
issues and themes... Read more |
