Bert Chase (Vancouver), Architect for Hesperus Village
 "Architecture arises out of human relationships, and in turn has a profound impact on those it serves for years to come. When the human community is in harmony, its higher ideal, its archetype, shines through. It is this spiritual essence of the community that is embodied in true architecture." - from Bert Chase's website.

Marko Pogacnik (Sculptor, Lithopuncturist), Slovenia
 "The reason our congresses are called "creative meeting" is, that by coming together we do not just enjoy the family of Earth lovers, but are aware of creating at the moment when we are together, from the first to the last day, a specific work: not to talk about the Network of Life only but to contribute to its health and spiritual strength." - from the "Lifenet" page on Marko Pogacnik's website.
As well as leading the carving and installation of 17 limestone pillars in the earth, Marko will be available to meet the public..

About Anthroposophy
 Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) introduced anthroposophy (spiritual science) in Europe in the early 1900s. He wrote books and lectured extensively to diverse audiences, describing methods of spiritual training and preparation for entry into the spiritual world. Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society in Switzerland in 1923, and branches exist today around the world. Goetheanum websiteSteiner also inspired people in all walks of life to take initiative and bring renewal to social life and to their practical work. 100 years later, as a result of Steiner's original contributions, millions of people around the world are experiencing the benefits. Waldorf education, Biodynamic agriculture and anthroposophic medicine are some leading examples of work arising from Steiner's guidance. |
