We are preparing an online program that introduces, supports and deepens Spiritual Practice based on Anthroposophy.
We plan to start in February 2024.
We have experienced Anthroposophy – Human Wisdom – as a helpful framework to conceptualise, contextualise and exchange spiritual material, experiences and philosophy, and intend to create a platform for sharing experiences, phenomena, reading and thoughts.
- Our approach is based on the research, development and experience gained from the Anthroposophical Schooling Course, developed within the Centre for Social Development, UK.
- In this context, ‘schooling’ refers to personal discipline and spiritual practice.
- Karl-Heinz Finke, who will lead this Course, was one of the contributors of the Schooling Course when it was offered as a 7-week residential program from 1989 to 1997 in England, and attracted an international audience.
- We are transforming the unique approach of the Schooling Course to make it accessible in an online format.
- This is a one-year online course, planned to commence February 2024.
- The course will have a Study Handbook for the year’s learning program.
- There are four courses within this program.
- Each comes with a Learning Pack that includes a Study Guide, recorded video lectures, suggested reading, and suggested activities.
- Learning Pack is followed by facilitated online sessions, which reinforce practice and facilitate learning.
- Further online sessions are scheduled to provide ongoing support.
- Regular practice of specific exercises is expected during the program.
- Suggested creative exercises are completed and shared.
- Reading and discussion of reading is included.
