Mot du Secrétaire général
 - Arie van Ameringen
...Le cœur de la tortue: Durant la première semaine de mars, j'étais à Ottawa où j'ai rencontré des membres de la branche La confluence des trois rivières (The Confluence of the Three Rivers) ainsi que des parents et des professeurs de deux écoles, notamment : Ottawa Waldorf School et l'école Trille des bois.
Lors de la rencontre avec les membres de la branche, nous avons discuté de la possibilité d'organiser un congrès pour la Société. Un grand enthousiasme s'est emparé des personnes présentes. Elles ont été sensibles à l'idée de tenir un rassemblement international où un volet interactif ferait partie de cette préparation. Le projet est encore à l'état embryonnaire. J'espère, toutefois, pouvoir prochainement vous donner plus de précisions à ce sujet.
Quelques membres m'ont fait visiter l'île Victoria qui se trouve juste en face du parlement canadien. Cet emplacement a de ce fait une signification symbolique particulière. Cet endroit est un territoire ancestral algonquin où d'autres tribus se sont aussi rencontrées. Et ce n'est peut-être pas un hasard si les édifices gouvernementaux se trouvent à cet endroit précis. En raison des rapides qui formaient un vortex puissant (aujourd'hui , le courant est très atténué à cause d'un barrage), les Amérindiens de plusieurs nations considéraient ce site comme un lieu sacré de rassemblement...Lisez plus

Letter from the General Secretary
- Arie van Ameringen
...The Heart of the Turtle: I spent the first week of March in Ottawa, where I met with members of the Confluence of the Three Rivers branch as well as with parents and teachers from both the Ottawa Waldorf School and the Trille des Bois school.
During the gathering with branch members we brought up the possibility of organizing a large-scale Society event. The members present showed great enthusiasm for the idea of hosting an international conference, and discussed setting up an interactive media site that would play an integral part in the preparation of the event. This project is still in its very first stages, and I hope to be able to give you more details about this initiative as they emerge. Several members guided me on a tour of Victoria Island, which is located directly facing the Parliament buildings. This site has a particularly symbolic significance, being an ancestral meeting place where Algonquins and other tribes gathered. And it is perhaps not by chance that the Parliament buildings were erected in their present location. Owing to the powerful vortex caused by the rapids (whose current has now been significantly reduced by a dam), several First Nations peoples considered the site to be a sacred meeting place...Read full article.

A core group to care for the transition of the National Library into a future step has been formed. Thank-you to Rob MacKay, Grant Davis, Leita McDowell, Doug Wylie, Kathy Grant, and Dorothy LeBaron for carrying this project. The group is using the "U" process (from Otto Scharmer's work), as a way to co-sense into the future of the library. It is a phenomenological way of working, where we let go of our assumptions about what we think needs to happen with the library, we observe and research together, try and pay attention to what wants to emerge, and then take steps towards the future. In our first meeting, we built our common intent, and worked artistically together to form the group. We had a presentation by Alexandra Gunther about the history of the library. We then did research interviews with people connected to local anthroposophical libraries across Canada, and the Rudolf Steiner Library in the U.S.A. to bring a wider context. In our second meeting we shared our research, trying to deeply listen for key issues. The core group will meet three more times over the next few months. If any members would like to get in touch with us about your ideas, hopes or concerns, we would be happy to hear from you.
