Along with 3 keynotes by Lisa Romero, our team of educators, artists, and health professionals from Australia and the USA will be providing various workshops that will focus on Early Childhood, Primary School, and High School. This conference welcomes educators, parents, homeschool parents, and caregivers.

As the forms of education undergo the shifts and changes of our current world situation there is a call that can be heard by many. It is a call for a spirit-led education through which the truth of the human being can be given what is essential for their path.

There are certain forces bestowed in the growing child that prepare them to engage in life that are connected to their inner life and the spiritual world, and not only to the material, sensory life. It is these forces that allow us to recognise the reality stated by Rudolf Steiner that “nothing but the will to live life in a spiritual way, the will to allow spiritual decisions and spiritual motivations, to play a part in what we do in the physical world, can make humanity truly healthy again”. As material life intensifies, these forces will be more rapidly extinguished unless they are consciously held and renewed by the adults surrounding the growing child.

Building Healthy Community -- towards the Cultivation of Human Freedom

Building Healthy Community -- towards the Cultivation of Human Freedom

with Lisa Romero

Our patterns of thinking, our feelings and our will impulses are directly influenced by the community in which we grow. The foundations of both inner freedom and unfreedom are laid down through the course of childhood. 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 community’s future and in doing so extending its persuasive influence into the inner capacities of its members.

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

Evolving Consciousness, Gender and Sexuality

A community talk by Lisa Romero at Anthroposophy NYC

“Without sense-born love, nothing material would exist in the world; without spiritual love, nothing spiritual can arise in evolution.” – Rudolf Steiner

The human being has the possibility of continually evolving in consciousness. We will look at the stage of development we are at now, where we have been and where we are headed. When working out of anthroposophy we are asked not to judge the other by sex. Only through deep understanding of the un-freedom of one's sex can we contribute to the education and development of others in freedom.

Spirit-led Community: Healing the Impacts of Technology

A community talk by Lisa Romero at Threefold Auditorium.

In this talk, Lisa Romero will speak about the impact that both process and substance addiction has on the development of the individual. She will approach the effects that technology has on the sensory development of children and adults and the effects of consciousness-altering substance on inner development. Through several of her books Lisa has been working on how we meet the growing impact of these influences on our health as individuals and as a community and she will be sharing some of her latest work with us.

Supporting Farmer Health and Well-being at the Biodynamic Association Conference

with Anthony Mecca and Sarah Hearn at the North American Biodynamic Association Conference

Unfortunately, farm life is not inherently healthy, and, in fact, the demands of an agricultural lifestyle can at times be at odds with the well-being of farmers, farmworkers, and apprentices alike, on various levels. This workshop will draw on Rudolf Steiner's indications for understanding health and illness and explore how we can perceive and support our health needs on the farm, including understanding our constitutional tendencies, cosmic and earthly nutritional needs, and external therapeutic applications to support health and well-being and deepen our work on the farm. Together, we will form a picture of how we can care for our own health and well-being alongside the health and well-being of the farm.

Understanding the Initiation of the ‘I’

  • Emerson College, Hartfield Road Forest Row, East Sussex RH185JX United Kingdom (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

How can I awaken the inner forces to meet what life is asking of me?

​How can inner development affect world development?

Many of the challenges we experience as humanity today give rise to reflection about what it means to be truly and fully human. If we engage with this question we very soon realise that to be fully human requires the recognition of the spiritual part of ourselves, our 'I'. During Understanding the Initiation of the 'I' you will learn about how the 'I' begins its initiation through developing the soul's capacities. You will have the chance to deepen your understanding of what takes place on the inner development path and you will learn about how inner development can have a transforming effect on the outer world, in which we all participate.

The course will offer active engagement in meditation exercises as well as inner schooling experiences, both of which lead towards transformation of the soul’s capacities into organs of spiritual perception and a living relationship with the spiritual world. Spiritual science allows us to evaluate our inner development and this is necessary to determine the steps we need to take.

Where am I un-free and where do I need liberation?

​What is the next step I am being called to take in my life?

This three-day course, which will mostly be based on active experiencing, is for all those who realise that in order to be able to do what you have to do in the world, you need to inwardly prepare yourself and develop yourself. It can be strengthening to come together with others around our questions and challenges on the inner work path. Through sharing with each other we can find support for our individual journey and work in the world. Various meditations and inner development exercises have a definite purpose to strengthen certain capacities and grow certain faculties. You will learn to understand both where you are on the path of inner development and what the exercises work upon, so that you may be able to choose the meditations you need to take your next step and be your own guide on your journey. Course leaders Lisa Romero and Séamus Maynard are highly experienced in working with diverse groups of people and encourage you to bring your own questions to the course. They will shape the content and exercises around the questions, interests and needs of the participants, thus allowing the course to truly support each individual participant.

with Lisa Romero and Séamus Maynard

Dates: Tuesday 17th until Thursday 19th September 2019
Times: 9am - 5:30pm

Inner Development and New Community

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…
