Ita Wegman Gathering 2021

Creating Radical Space for the Other – I Development and the Christ Impulse
Monday, February 22, 2021
Rudolf Steiner asks in 1922 ‘Where, tell me, does truth still exist? Rudolf Steiner asks in 1922.
In the same lecture series given to the Christian Community Priests he shares -…‘If, in the
realms into which the luciferic constantly streams and into which the ahrimanic constantly
streams, we look towards the divine that holds the balance, we find there pure love as the
fundamental force of everything that streams continuously, forming the human being
outwardly, and giving him soul and spirit inwardly.’
Dr. Michaela Gloeckler will offer a presentation on the relationship between Rudolf Steiner and Ita Wegman;

Jaimen McMillan will work with the verse Rudolf Steiner gave
to Ita, with an eye on ‘Balancing the inner and outer movement of the I Organization through Spacial Dynamics; Angela Foster shares on The Blessing of each Word we speak;

Milena Kowarik from the Executive Council in Switzerland will speak to finding the balance and what does this mean in our time?;

Dottie Zold will share from her life’s
work on the Buddha Eightfold Path/Daily Exercises which along with the Essential Six
can create a culture of selflessness and the development of our etheric heart in relations
to Rudolf Steiner’s body of work.
Please join us for our third annual Ita Wegman gathering in Chicago. This year, online
and in person, we will look at how can we find the balance within ourselves and what Ita
Wegman has to offer to the conversation as someone who lived during the time of Nazi Germany and the great chaos within the Vorstand after the death of Rudolf Steiner.

In a notebook from Easter 1940, Ita Wegman writes ‘…Remain as neutral as possible – not because it is convenient, but out of a love for humanity…Those who are neutral in the
most genuine way will comprise the third army, which has the spirit as its weapon and unites with the dead whose souls have been awakened and who are being led by Michael
in the suprasensory worlds.

Third Annual Anthroposophy Southeast Retreat

birdsnest.jpg

Registration is now open for the third annual Anthroposophy Southeast Retreat the weekend of September 21-23, 2018 (Friday evening through Sunday morning). It will be held at spacious BirdsNest Retreat Center in Blairsville, Georgia, t
he home of biodynamic agriculture leaders Hugh Lovel and Shabari Bird, in the foothills of the Appalachians two hours north of Atlanta.

The theme of the retreat will be meeting resistance, how to work with and overcome the three hindrances to growth in anthroposophy – doubt, fear and hatred/apathy through cultivation of faith, hope and love. The theme will be worked with in an exciting way, through working group facilitated sessions on the topics rather than traditional presentations, and will be supported by singing, movement, nutrition and Goethean conversation. As always there will be ample time for individuals, groups and branches to share and connect as we move forward together as a region.

The cost is $150 per person including 2 nights shared accommodation and 5 homemade vegetarian meals. There are also camping and work trade opportunities to accommodate everyone who wants to participate.

If you have any questions, please email anthroposophysoutheast@gmail.com.

First Southeastern Regional Gathering

The Anthroposophical Society in America announces the first southeastern regional gathering in Atlanta, Georgia on September 10, 2016. The seven states included in this region are Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee.

We will get to know each other better, and build a sense of the initiatives that are active in the Southeast. How is anthroposophy at work among us? How do we understand the task of anthroposophy in our region? What might be our unique contribution, and how might we collaborate?

We will devote time to hearing from each community. Our hope is to have at least one or two individuals present from each community so we can build a full picture of our region.

In preparation for community sharings, please consider the following themes:

• Location
• Group or branch or? (What is the form?)
• What other anthroposophical initiatives are present? (group or individual)
• What is the rhythm of community activity?
• Brief picture of how anthroposophy came to the area — who and how?
• Something of the flavor, character (spirit) of the community?
• What questions are currently being carried in the area?
• Level of engagement with others outside anthroposophical circles

Location: Academe of the Oaks, 146 New St., Decatur, GA 30030
Cost: $15 per person registration fee to cover expenses
Food: Snack and lunch will be provided
