Greetings Friends –
The Final Chapter, of the Tetrad Series http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2014/27mar_tetrad/ which the Central Region of the Anthroposophical Society has been working with in our ‘Speaking with the Stars Project’ begins September 12-13, and ends at our Michaelmas Festival Sept. 27-28, 2015.
Join us at the Branch for our last Solar Eclipse Gathering Sunday September 13th 5:30am – 7am This New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo, is on the eve of Rosh Hashanah.
Together as we greet the Sunrise, with:
*The Hallelujah in Eurythmy, and other group eurythmy with Tish Pierce
*We will review parts of Steiner’s lecture “Human Questions and Cosmic Answers”, so that we can rise in our thinking to meet the spiritual significance of an eclipse
*We will work with the Foundation Stone Meditation, and other Verses.
*Michaelmas Songs
*Paper Sculpting: Cutting out forms in paper is an astral activity, which relates to the starry realm, as opposed to the flowing out processes which could be called etheric. It is the process our body uses to shape itself.
Doing this form of art, can help us take hold of this development with consciousness, an especially important endeavor to do during the eclipse time.
Shared Potluck Breakfast to Follow.
