Greetings!
Every year there are many excellent anthroposophical talks and workshops given in centres across the country. How can we make the content of these talks more accessible to those who couldn't attend?
Written reports and summaries are certainly helpful. But what if some of these talks were recorded and posted as podcasts? This would be particulary helpful for members who live in more isolated areas and rarely have the opportunity to attend an event in person.
I would be happy to support and coordinate efforts in this direction - just let me know if you'd like to start including this in your plans. Also, if you have recording skills or equipment and are willing to help, please let me know!
Thanks,
Mark

Goethean Conversation
- by Chris Wilson
(lower right in this photo of members of the Guelph Research Group))
 In the Spring 2010 edition of Glimpses, Elizabeth White wrote an article about the Guelph Research Group's 100th meeting in which she highlighted the fact that we use Goethean Conversation as the practical basis for our studies. In this follow-up article, I will attempt to give a brief sketch of what Goethean Conversation actually is, from the "user's point of view" so to speak. I will also touch on the spiritual background and practical aspects, and will conclude with reasons why one might want to practice Goethean Conversation....Read more

More About The Iceland Conference
- by Carol Lewis
 | | Christine Tansley arises from Whales Fjord |
...Now that I have had an experience of the North-in a country settled by Norsemen who valued their fierce independence, with "the hammer of Thor" pumping ego forces into their blood, more than their comfort-and a vivid experience of what a folk soul can be, it is up to me to bring my individuality to the world-in the words of Oscar Hansen, the venerable leader of the Anthroposophical Society in Denmark, the "Folk Soul" cycle tells us that "nobody else can do what I can do if I understand the gifts I get from being a member of this or that country; I can look at the world as material for my developing myself; the individual may thus get help to find his individual contribution to the progress of mankind; what we make out of our souls has a meaning for the whole world." ...Read full article.

The Year 2012
Philip Martyn of the Anthroposophical Society in Great Britain writes...
There continues to be so much disquiet and speculation surrounding 2012 being the end of the Mayan calendar and so on, I asked Nick Thomas who is a mathematician and astronomer and former General Secretary of the Anthroposophical Society in GB to write a short piece about 2012 setting out the facts so that we can at least know the starting point of the speculations.
