UPCOMING EVENTS



Healing the Word Together

Speaking the Foundation Stone
with Christine Burke on March 25th, 2023

From 10AM until 3PM
(with one hour lunch break at 12PM)
(*lunch not provided)

The Waldorf School of San Diego, Colina Campus
4135 54th Place, San Diego, CA 92105

A conscious explorative experience of the art of speaking through The Foundation Stone Meditation. In our offering we will work with this homeopathic verse & Rudolf Steiner’s practical speech exercises with a view to the possibilities we have daily to heal the word in our private and community life.

Sacred Speech Work

Your body is an instrument that can be tuned, allowing the word to sing forth, creatively, consciously creating your reality and through that, a deep healing can begin.

To one who understands the sense of speech
The world unveils its image form.
To one who listens to the soul of speech
The world unfolds its true being.
To one who lives in the spirit depths of speech
The world gives freely Wisdom’s strength.
To one who lovingly dwells on speech
Speech will accord its inner might.
So I will turn my heart and mind
Toward the soul and spirit of words.
In love for them
I will feel myself complete and whole.
Rudolf Steiner

Celebration for the Dead

Please join us on November 20th for our annual celebration for the dead. We will gather in the candlelight to honor our friends and loved ones with readings, poetry, eurythmy and music.

I have made ready a room
Here in my heart
With walls of warmth
And windows of color
Towards every side of the cosmos

Oceans, mountains and clouds
Are without,
Within – loving and light;
And here I invite you to come
Dear being I love.

Lead me in what you have learned
Now you have left your earthly
Body with so long suffering
And become a heavenly star
The uprising in dying.

Albert Steffen
from The Uprising in Dying,
Christy Barnes, editor

Time and Place: Sunday, November 20, 2022, 3:00 pm
