 Annual General Meeting and Conference May 15 - 17, 2015
Solve et Coagula? Once a year, we the members, have the opportunity to meet together in a formalized setting. In one sense this is a worldly demand placed upon us through our registration as a Not-for Profit Corporation. This legal form places us deeply in the material world demanding responsibility as well as opening us to public scrutiny and accountability. That's the Caesar part! However, within this skin woven of regulations and by-laws lives the spiritual impulse behind our shared mission. Meeting together as members enables those present to be the mediating soul force between the earthly and the heavenly poles. This of course leads from the 'business'aspect to the conference theme of "And the darkness becomes light."That's the soul spiritual part! Truly a wonderful opportunity to take these two days to breathe in and then take the next 12 months to breathe out into the world with our work, vocation and mission. We hope to see you there! Ed.

Introduction - Jef Saunders
As your new administrator I'm looking forward to meeting or engaging with members as I settle in to this new role. Or should I more correctly say, re-entering this role? Before Mark McAlister took on this task seven years ago I spent six months bridging the administrator's position between Timothy Cox's and Mark's tenure. I'm a resident of Hesperus Fellowship Village, an anthroposophically inspired seniors residence adjacent to the Toronto Waldorf School. I see the administrator's role as an exciting opportunity to provide information, communication and connectivity for all members of the Society and movement. To this end I welcome your questions, queries, information, feedback and news both from you personally and your local communities.

OBITUARY Siegrun Price
1941 - 2015  Siegrun was born on September 3rd, 1941, in Plöhnen, East Prussia. Her family fled south to Olbersdorf, near Dresden, two years later, to avoid the advancing Russian army. She grew up in what became East Germany. Her family then escaped to the west on the very last train out of East Berlin. In 1961, she was ledto the Camphill Homes in Aberdeen, Scotland, where she trained under Dr. Karl Konig. She was so inspired at what she received that she immediately became a member of the Anthroposophical Society. When she returned to Germany, she came into contact with Waldorf Education, and soon afterwards became a trained Waldorf Class Teacher in England, together with her husband Colin, whom she met on the same course. In 1980, she and her family emigrated to Canada, where she continued her professional Waldorf teaching career. During these years, she became a member of the First Class, and also of the Pedagogical Section. Her last five years were spent suffering increasingly from Parkinson's Disease and dementia, and she passed across the threshold on March 6th, in the early hours of the morning, with great relief. |
