The year 2011 marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Rudolf Steiner.
Against this background, we would like to take up the 3rd lecture of the
Study of Man (Foundations of Human Experience) at this year's Whitsun
conference. This lecture concerns itself with a central theme of Anthroposophy:
the comprehension of the living.
At first glance it may not be clear what this conference theme and the
content of this lecture have to do with the education of the young child.
However, a closer look makes the connection clear, and three themes
arise:
1. Finding a way to the living through how we perceive
2. Leading the child to nature and the spirit
3. Through our own inner and outer activity, serving the life of the earth
At this conference, let us enthusiastically take up this possibility of
strengthening the threatened living nature of the earth through our daily
educational task with the children.
Please note that in the second part of the afternoon, some courses are
offered as forums. These are intended to offer the possibility for sharing
experiences and stimulating research.
We hope that we have awakened your interest and look forward to our
work together.
