Festivals help us recognise the intimate connection of earth’s being with our own being, the elemental beings and spiritual beings, and to deepen reverence, awe, and respect for the life of the earth and our shared journey.

Saint John calls for metanoia in the human soul, a complete change of heart towards receiving the new impulses from the spiritual world and each year we give our collective attention to this individual journey. In this yearly festival we may look at our human part and responsibility in the evolution of the world, it allows us to develop and express the different elements of our change of heart that we and our community may need as we celebrate humanity’s path together. We ask how those traditions that have gone before us may inform our way forward and how those that are present can bring a living change to the festival itself as a commitment to bettering the world in which we live.

Total fee for all three sessions: $60AUD

A webinar hosted by EduCareDo and in conjunction with the Inner Development for World Development Course
5pm New York time October 24th
10pm London time October 24th

Love is so fundamental to our wellbeing that even before we embark on a path of conscious inner development we are all called to find a relationship to some aspect of love. In EduCareDo’s foundation course we are introduced to these four aspects of love that we may develop in life; Sexual love, blood bond love, friendship love, and universal love.
In this webinar we will look towards the spiritual forces that are connected to these four loves and how we can connect healthily with what supports love in the world and grows love in our lives. This webinar is free for all EduCareDo course participants, past and present, regardless of the Educaredo course in which you have enrolled. The webinar is open to all others for a $20AUD contribution. All participants will need to register even if it is just to receive the recording.

Click to register
“We will explore a path of transformation for the individual and for society as a whole, both critical for healing the Earth. Topics include developing social understanding, inner development, society as threefold (interest and freedom in human development, just and fair social relationships, and solidarity and cooperation in economics), distribution of resources and capital, ownership and stewardship, basic income and meaningful work, and more. Coursework will include short readings, experiential and artistic exercises, and practical examples. Weekly sessions are structured around presentations interspersed with exercises and small group conversations. Participants are expected to take up simple activities between sessions and check-in with another course participant. Together we will begin to explore how these healing paths initiated by Steiner can support the change that needs to come.
To fully participate in the live video sessions, you need to have a reliable internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a camera and microphone. If you don’t have a device that supports this video technology, you may access the course via telephone. Video recordings of each weekly session will be available to participants to review content or make up for a missed class.”
Course Content
It is clear the earth and social life are in need of healing. Climate change demands attention. The call for social justice rings loud. The pandemic revealed further the fragile, unjust structure of society. Politics are polarizing. Technology and information overload are common. Our connections to each other and the natural world are eroding. We are distancing from a healthy relationship with ourselves, each other, and the earth. How can we create a path towards healing? How can individuals work alongside each other to bring their ideals into the world?
Prescient to these needs, Rudolf Steiner initiated two complementary healing paths: social threefolding and biodynamic agriculture. At the foundation of both lies the capacity to sense into and form living pictures of wholeness. Within this wholeness, there is a striving to weave dynamic elements together in harmony. Relationships to one’s self, others, and the natural world are encouraged to develop in service of the earth and humanity. Underlying this healing is the need for conscious work with the spiritual world.
Through this 8-week course, we will beginning to understand and implement these healing paths.”

Meeting Racism and Bias by Developing Imaginative Consciousness
2020-07-25 12:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York) | Online Webinar (EST – US timezone), United States
This webinar will invite participants to engage in various aspects of developing imaginative consciousness to discover how this capacity can help us to transform the racism of the collective conditioning that lives in us. Imaginative consciousness is a capacity to take us into the future, a future that needs to be free of racism if we are working towards love and the new age of human potential. We will speak about how fighting for equality is fighting for the spirit and how this is a necessary task of those engaged with anthroposophy or the path of inner development.
“We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Renewal will be possible only if we face the destructive forces within ourselves.” – Rudolf Steiner
Please note the time for this webinar: It is scheduled for July 25th 12pm – 1:30pm USA EST. For participants in other countries including Australia and the UK, please convert to your local timezone.
This webinar is open to all, and is complimentary for all students of the EduCareDo Inner Development for World Development course and $20AUD (about $15USD) for all others (refundable if you join the distant learning course after the webinar).

Spirit-led Community
2018-04-27 - 2018-04-29 | Rudolf Steiner Centre, Burnley Road, Hebdon Bridge, HX78AU, United Kingdom
Rudolf Steiner declared that from the twentieth century onward all human beings would be able to develop a new kind of capacity: a capacity to have knowledge of the outcome of the paths that lay before them—a capacity that would enable us to foresee the inner results of the various choices that lay before us, before walking down one or another path. However, this capacity of foreseeing would need to be preceded by an essential step in human development—a step that constitutes the next stage of evolution for the human being. This step would be the awakening of the higher self, which he also described as the recognition of the “second self.”
In the twenty-first century, we are beginning to see this new stage of development emerging on a wider scale. Many individuals are waking up to the higher ‘I,’ to the second self. In this workshop we will explore this path of development, and the possibility of individuals coming together in freedom to build new community forms that create, support and ennoble humanity.
For most of us the notion of our inner liberation and our true freedom lies in our inner world of our capacities for thinking, feeling and self determined will. Discovering how unfree in fact we are has always been one of the necessary awakenings of the inner development path. The foundations of both inner freedom and unfreedom are greatly influenced in child development. Our patterns of thinking our feelings and our will impulses are directly influenced by the community in which we grow. With the rise of technology permeating extensively our outer lives we are now being faced with its effects on our inner lives and its artificial influence over the development of thinking, feeling and will impulses. Technology is forming our communities future and in doing so extending its persuasive influence into the inner capacities of its members.

We need to be ready, as a collective humanity, with capacities—with the necessary inner strengths—to freely choose the community life that we determine to be in need of propagation. We need to establish communities that are dedicated to human freedom—communities in which community health, child education, and social life are imbued with impulses supportive of the cultivation of human freedom.

This course is open to anyone.
Friday 7:30pm – 9pm; Saturday & Sunday 10am – 4:30pm

Understanding Our Communal Responsibility for the Healthy Development of Gender and Sexuality within Society
2018-04-20 - 2018-04-22 | Emerson College, Hartfield Road, Forest Row, East Sussex, RH185JX, United Kingdom
This course is based on deepening our understanding of the esoteric development of the masculine and feminine forces within the human race and how we can best support the healthy unfolding of these forces throughout individual development.

We will explore how to perceive in the other, their individual capacities by understanding child development and the influence of the collective astral body of the community at various stages of development. This will lead to knowledge of how to work with adults to overcome imbalances and unfold greater freedom.

We will look at how an individual’s inner life develops and how external conditioning can divert the capacities which brings imbalances in the astral body. These imbalances can be expressed in addictions and diversions into unhealthy behaviours towards ourselves and others.
The esoteric wisdom shows how through the harmony of the masculine and feminine forces and the development of the characteristics that stream through individual capacities, an individual has greater freedom to be creative in life and contribute to the new community forms around gender and sexuality that are essential for healthy progression.

Love and its Meaning in the World
2018-04-15 | Edinburgh Rudolf Steiner School, 60 Spylaw Rd, Edinburgh, Scotland, EH10 5BR, United Kingdom
There is an esoteric saying that states all paths to the spiritual world go through the heart. In this workshop we will look at the place of the heart in the inner work and the meditative life and how we need to understand the activity of spiritual love and its effects on the human soul and the outer sense world.

“Without sense-born love, nothing material would exist in the world; without spiritual love, nothing spiritual can arise in evolution. When we practice love, cultivate love, creative forces pour into the world.” Rudolf Steiner.

Strengthening Foundations of Meditative Practice and Inner Development
2018-04-14 | Edinburgh Rudolf Steiner School, 60 Spylaw Rd, Edinburgh, Scotland, EH10 5BR, United Kingdom
This workshop is likely to be of interest to those who wish to begin an inner practice and those that have taken one or many steps on this transforming path.
Each of us already has certain capacities but we need to strengthen them in order to be able to make use of them. Developing ourselves affects not only our own lives and the decisions we make but also affects the lives of others around us. This workshop will include several exercises and meditations that will help cultivate and understand the fruits of the inner work.
Through understanding the inner path we can gain insight into our individual relationship to the various steps that are asked of us and recognise how to utilise the inner exercises that both develop and support our onward journey. By seeing the path that all must take we can objectively evaluate our next step and learn how to work healthily from each stage.

Understanding the Complexities of Child Development in Today's World
2018-04-13 | Edinburgh Rudolf Steiner School, 60 Spylaw Rd, Edinburgh, Scotland, EH10 5BR, United Kingdom
A lecture to help build an understanding of how we can best offer support through the various child development milestones in light of what Anthroposophy offers. It will look at how we can bring a healthy picture of development in the context of Waldorf pedagogy and consider the ways in which we can help young people stay united to the whole when dealing with the common hindrances they face that can block the progressing levels of experience. This is especially relevant to parents, caregivers, teachers, health professionals and anyone working with children/adolescents.

Working with Gender and Sexuality for the Young Child through to Puberty and Beyond (UK lecture)
2016-06-13 | Emerson College, Hartfield Road, Forest Row, East Sussex, RH185JX, United Kingdom
This lecture introduces teachers, parents, health professionals and those working with children and adolescents to understand how gender differences and similarities work in childhood development, human relationships and spiritual development in the changing needs of our time.
It introduces an understanding of how to bring a healthy picture of development in the context of Waldorf pedagogy which keeps the child united to the whole and does not cause a division in consciousness.
When working out of anthroposophy we are asked not to judge the other by gender and to teach in a unisexual way. Only through deep understanding of the un-freedom of being man or woman can we contribute to the education and development of others in freedom.
