Healthy Relationships with Self and Others: Social Understanding Gender and Sex Education

Visiting Classes 9-12

This program offered by Developing the Self Developing the World brings anthroposophy to help understand relationships and the responsibility of community in raising children and working together to promote individual wellbeing.

We look at how and when we work with adolescents to bring the understanding of sexuality and gender in relation to where they are in their consciousness. This brings harmony between the evolving body and inner experiences that sets the ground for healthy adult experience.

It speaks to some of main issues confronting health and wellbeing in current times, with examples of how we can counter the unbalancing effects. We also address how to understand gender differences and similarities that both limit or free us and the contribution and struggles of the changing social structures around gender and sexuality affecting us all.

The program is delivered by Developing the Self Developing the World programs facilitator, Meaghan Witri.

Christmas with Children

Christmas with Children

Those interested in sharing a conversation about preparing Christmas for children are invited to come together online.

7pm Sunday November 17th (AEDT)

Our intention is to enliven the 5 pointed-star within ourselves, converse about the advent table and ways to bring these into the child’s life at Christmas time. What if anything do we hold and perhaps hold back, and why? What in our Self is a gift to Children at Christmas time?

The conversation is live; it will not be recorded to help ease all those present to speak freely.

The image used for these events is a painting by Laura Summer, Aquarius.

Guided Nature Observations and Lemon Footbath for Deep Rest

Retreat practitioners warmly invite adults, especially educators and parents to share in a morning at Myocum to rebuild your forces once a term.

We meet at 9am to commune with nature, to foster and inspire our capacity for wonder and reverence which may lead us to experience the wisdom filled harmony and health giving forces that are inherent in the natural world. By cultivating inner stillness and deep listening, we allow the world to speak, we are brought into a growing relationship through entering into a conversation with the living world. You’ll be guided through an exercise by Fiona Mackenzie.

This experience will flow to a quiet indoor space where you can receive a lemon footbath from Lyn Clifton.

Allow up to 3 hours.

Light refreshments are provided.
