“Rhythms that Develop the Michaelic Will Forces”
Kolisko Institute Annual Conference
October 19-22, 2023, Pewaukee (near Milwaukee), WI
An in Person Fall Conference
Dear Friends,
One of the most important revelations of Rudolf Steiner’s is that Michael is leading mankind on the paths of the Will back into the spiritual world just as in past times he led us into the earth incarnation on the path of the intellect (R. Steiner: Leading Thoughts).
Rudolf Steiner also tells us that one of the more assured ways to develop that will is by engaging in rhythmical activities.
Studying metamorphosis, for example the evolutionary steps in which R. Steiner presents his work and his view of nature, is a quintessential method to rhythmically approach this strengthening of the will.
With the Christmas Foundation Conference of 1923/24, R. Steiner wanted to begin such a “Path of the Will” in earnest. Now 100 years later, more than ever, we need to put the impulses initiated by him from awareness into action.
Main topics will be:
- Understanding of the rhythms of metamorphosis in R. Steiner lectures/works;
- The metamorphosis of the trees of the Columns of the large auditorium of the 1st Goetheanum;
- The metamorphosis of the trees of the Columns of the stage of the 1st Goetheanum;
- The metamorphosing steps of the Seven Rhythms of the Foundation Stone;
- The Rhythms of the Offering Service;
- The Rhythms and the Our Father Prayer;
- Experiencing the topic in eurythmy (zodiac and planetary gestures; from the Foundation stone the “turning point of time” part);
- Sharing our latest laboratory and research results;
- Group workshops for discussions and/or artistic activities
After the abyss generated by the health pandemic (and more) meeting each other in person is more important than ever.
We are warmly inviting you to what promises to be another exciting fall conference.
