       August 7-14

For over a century anthroposophy has inspired individuals active in many walks of life.


 
We hope to be able to bring people together to share the questions and results of their work in their specific fields of endeavour. The aim of this conference is to allow us experience how anthroposophy can directly address questions both on the level of human soul activity and on the level of practical life. Besides lectures, workshops and conversation groups, the conference organizers will also provide a space where individuals can present the results of their own personal initiatives.

 

With the participation of Paul MacKay, Bodo Von Plato, Seja Zimmermann, Constanza Kaliks,  Joan Sleigh , Marianne Schubert and many others.

                                                                  7-14  Ao�t

Il y a maintenant  plus d'un si�cle  d'activit�s anthroposophiques dans les diff�rents domaines  de la vie.

 

Nous voulons r�unir  des personnes pour partager  les questions et exp�riences dans leurs sp�cialit�s respectives.  Ce congr�s vise � montrer comment l'anthroposophie peut apporter des r�ponses � des questions qui concernent  tant les activit�s de la vie de l'�me que  les activit�s de la vie courante. En plus des conf�rences   , des ateliers de discussions, des ateliers artistiques, il y aura �galement un espace pour pr�senter des projets  de recherche personnels.


 
Avec la participation de  Paul MacKay, Bodo Von Plato, Seja Zimmermann, Constanza Kaliks, Joan Sleigh,  Marianne Schubert et plusieurs autres personnes.

Clowns On The Loose
The Question
The Question is a collection of poems by Swiss poet and artist Dawn Nilo. [Dawn is also a member of the Canadian Society.] Evoking the feel of a "how to" guide to the imagination, The Question weaves in and out of grand themes like love, death, and freedom, while intermingling with a host of enigmatic and colorful characters including Sweat Pea, Eagle Rose, Mouse and the Glad Companions. Curated from Nilo's oeuvre of over 700 poems, The Question offers an introduction to the work of a remarkable and singular writer. 

Available exclusively from Apple iBooks.

Building Bridges With Blondine


The red nose is the smallest of all the masks. Let it help you drop all the others and reveal you to yourself. Clowning leads us on a grand journey from the head to the heart. Encountering oneself and others in complete innocence and wonder frees up the forces of childhood in each of us and prepares us to be more present with our friends, colleagues and children. Being in the moment is at the heart of the matter and brings forth the playful spirit in each of us. 

NOTE:  Blondine Maurice and Diane Huguette Beaus�jour will be hosting a course, "Taking care of your dead with respect", March 7 in Montr�al.
