Christian Hitsch is a gifted artist, sculptor and teacher, and he certainly demonstrated these gifts during his recent visit to our campus. But there is more! Christian is one of those rare people who touches and moves everyone he meets - not just his fellow artists. In his own quiet way, he is an exemplary social artist. One highlight of his visit was the weekend Visual Arts Seminar, and I would like to thank Dianne Denhart for her report. I have also included the text by Rudolf Steiner he quoted .about our responsibility for Anthroposophy. If there are others who would like to share impressions and insights arising from Christian's visit, I would be happy to include them in the next issue. Mark P.S. Social art is not always happy and fun. The path can be painful - always rediscovering old wounds and long periods of numbness. If we awaken together, we can help each other out. MM |
Towards a Michaelmas Festival
The Thornhill Group of the Anthroposophical Society and the Hesperus Festival Committee warmly invite you to join us in this yearʼs festive Michaelmas Season. There will be a series of events at Hesperus over the course of three days (28-30 September) and we encourage you to participate in any or all of the activities.
Why do we celebrate this moment in time and this Season? It is the beginning of Fall, the days grow darker and shorter. We need to develop forces to meet the winter - and also our own individual selves - in a different way. How can we strengthen our Egos and also engage in Community? What does it take to have courage to meet the other? These are some of the questions we would like to engage in together.
