Report on the November 11 Conversation, by Philip Thatcher: ...We worked through conversation out of the sentence for the evening and then Susan introduced a group artistic activity with coloured crayon that gave a process for picturing possible interaction between the spirit of untruth and the spirit of truth...It was a fine confirmation of the kind of interaction we had hoping these three evenings would make possible.

Council meeting in Ottawa
...We continue to develop our Imagination of the Council, cultivating a culture of communication, of hearing from members, of making our activities and each other visible. It is important to work in a way that creates a mood of the Foundation Stone. How we bring something, how we say it, needs to connect to this impulse. What is anthroposophy today? What is the purpose of our Society becoming? This is a research for us, as we engage with members in a process this year of reviewing the statement of our purpose. In administrative work, we spent time reviewing and refining proposed new by-laws, a major work for us this year, which is now required to apply for a Certificate of Continuance to keep our status as a not-for-profit organization. We worked with our Administrator to redefine his role, as it moves towards a greater responsibility in the area of communications and outreach. The council is pleased to announce that we have contracted Lynn Lagroix as the new ASC bookkeeper. Lynn has many years of professional bookkeeping experience and is already helping us update and prepare for our upcoming yearend accounting and subsequent review engagement. She has worked in other organizations on the Thornhill campus... Read full article

La réunion du Conseil à Ottawa, octobre 2013
Nous continuons notre travail en vue de développer une Imagination de notre Conseil : cultiver une culture de communication; entendre la voix des membres; rendre visibles nos activités et nous-mêmes. Nous trouvons essentiel de travailler dans une ambiance digne de la Pierre de Fondation. Notre façon de présenter quelque chose et de l'exprimer doit être en harmonie avec cette impulsion. Qu'est-ce que l'anthroposophie de nos jours? Quel doit devenir le but même de notre Société? Voilà les questions fondamentales que nous tentons d'approfondir alors que nous entamons le dialogue avec nos membres dans le processus de révision de notre déclaration des objectifs de la Société.
Pour le volet administratif, nous avons passé du temps à réviser et à préciser les nouveaux règlements proposés. Ceci représente une tâche importante cette année, car nous sommes maintenant obligés de demander un certificat de prorogation (certificat de maintien) pour conserver notre statut d'organisme de bienfaisance. Nous avons travaillé avec notre administrateur pour redéfinir son rôle et sa responsabilité croissante dans le domaine de la communication, à la fois à l'intérieur de la Société et avec le grand public.
Le Conseil est heureux d'annoncer l'engagement de Lynn Lagroix comme nouveau comptable pour la SAC. Lynn a beaucoup d'années d'expérience professionnelle en comptabilité et nous aide déjà dans la mise à jour et la préparation des livres en vue de la fin de notre année fiscale et de la mission de vérification annuelle. Elle a travaillé au sein d'autres organisations sur le campus de Thornhill. Lisez plus

♦ To foster deep continuous dialogue.
♦ To provide a doorway to meet spiritual science.
♦ To be seen in the world as a living example of the Society's principles.
♦To be initiators of bringing a spiritual aspect into the world.
♦ To be the guiding spirit, the main consulting body, of different anthroposophical movements
Our next meeting will be in Thornhill on November 30.

♦ Être vus dans le monde comme des exemples vivants des principes mêmes de la Société.
♦ Être des initiateurs dans l'effort d'amener un aspect spirituel dans le monde.

As I mentioned last month, we are starting to produce some new email formats in order to reach out to public audiences. See the top of the sidebar for links. These updates are designed with portable devices in mind, and I hope folks will post them on their favourite social media. The next update will be about activities on Vancouver Island. I hope you enjoy them, and pass them along to others.
