The Challenge of Rudolf Steiner - Trailer from Sue Smee on Vimeo.

For those fortunate enough to encounter them, the unique insights and research of Rudolf Steiner into subjects such as education, medicine and agriculture have long been a source of wonder and inspiration. Since his death in 1925, Steiner’s vision has grown in both relevance and urgency, yet there are many people still unaware of his life and work. The Challenge of Rudolf Steiner, from the British film-maker Jonathan Stedall, aims to take the story to a wider audience.

(May Circular Letter)

Always Informed

In April the first anthroposophical family medical practice in Riga was opened in Medical Center 4. This became possible through contacts made between the two doctors (Mara Meijere and Gita Gange), as well as by networking with officials in the medical community. The opening of the anthroposophical family medical practice represents a great success. The practice not only builds a bridge between anthroposophical medicine and academic medicine—it also means acceptance by “official” medicine.

Dear Friends,

Happy Easter and warmest regards,
yours
Dr. med. Michaela Glöckler

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
This Circular Letter remained unfinished over Christmas and comes to you with best wishes for the work in the New Year.
 
Various biographies marking Rudolf Steiner’s 150th anniversary have now been published, as expected, of which I have already read two:
One by the educationalist Heiner Ullrich, who traces Steiner’s life and teachings with “the greatest possible fairness”, and one by Helmut Zander, subtitled “The Biography”,

Quietly, globally, billions of bees are dying, threatening our crops and food. But a global ban of one group of pesticides could save bees from extinction.

Four European countries have begun banning these poisons, and some bee populations are recovering. But chemical companies are lobbying hard to keep all killer pesticides on the market. A global outcry now for a ban in the US and EU, where debate is raging, could provoke a total ban and a ripple effect around the world.

Let’s build a giant global buzz calling for these dangerous chemicals to be outlawed in the US and EU until and unless they are proved to be safe. Sign here the petition to save bees and our crops and send this to everyone

Dear Friends, we are happy to be able to send you  these good news before Christmas – 
ELIANT has reached the goal of one million. We thank all supporters for their magnificent commitment, without which we could never have done it.
Over 1.1 million people worldwide have added their signature to support the creation of legal framework conditions to safeguard freedom of choice and opportunity of choice for anthroposophic services and products. 1,001,671 signatures come from the EU (as at: 13.12.2010). Thus the ELIANT Alliance is one of the very first initiatives able to submit the necessary million signatures in Brussels as part of the European citizens' initiative (ECI).

Rudolf Steiner is known around the world as an author, lecturer and the creator of Anthroposophy, but his role as an inaugurator of new forms of collaboration has yet to be discovered in many places. Anthroposophic institutions are among those grappling with the special challenge of how to develop viable forms of leadership and management. The social ideal developed by Rudolf Steiner in 1923/1924 can serve as an inexhaustible source of inspiration for anyone who wants to unite the principles of spiritual guidance and leadership with those of professional responsibilities and the necessities of the workplace.

Dear friends,
A message from Philip Martyn (below) about the forthcoming lunar eclipse prompted me to look at Rudolf Steiner's comments about eclipses. His words are challenging and provocative:

"Eclipses of the sun and moon, recurring as they do in the course of every year, may really be looked upon as “safety-valves.” A safety-valve is there to avert danger, to provide an outlet for something or other — steam, for instance — at the right moment. One of the safety-valves which makes its appearance in the cosmos and to which we give the name of a solar eclipse, serves the purpose of carrying out into space in a Luciferic way, the evil that spreads over the earth, in order that evil may work havoc in a wider, less concentrated sphere. The other safety-valve, the lunar eclipse, exists for the purpose of allowing the evil thoughts which are present in the cosmos to approach those human beings who are desirous of being possessed by them. In matters of this kind people do not, as a rule, act in full consciousness, but the facts are nevertheless real — just as real as the attraction of a magnet for small particles of iron. Such are the forces at work, in the cosmos — forces no less potent than the forces we analyse and investigate today in our chemical laboratories...."

Collegial Work in Cooperation

A continuing education course for 46 Waldorf teachers was held from February to August at the University of Tartu (320 hours spread over 6 modules). The course was announced by the university in late fall, 2009, and within a short time it was Ofully enrolled.

Dear friends!
This summer you have the opportunity to experience the Mystery Dramas of Rudolf Steiner as they will be explored through a modern and personal interpretation. Those involved are hoping to share an experience of the karma consciousness that arises out of working with the Dramas. During the four days preceding the summer performances, actors, philosopher’s, artists, the young, the old and all those interested in the mysteries, will join together to study the Dramas as they relate to each one’s life in a personal and unique way.
