Language: German
A human being can only learn to walk, to talk and to think, if he is in contact with other human beings. To develop himself as a human being, to become more and more «I AM» is only possible through human encounters.
«To come to an understanding of the human being, as a revelation of the divine world, with as much gravity and intensity as possible, this will have one day, when it becomes true, a very definite consequence: from the outset the encounter of a human being with another will become a religious act: it will become a sacrament (Rudolf Steiner, GA 182, conference from the 9th of October 1918).»
We intend to plant together with you a seed from the future into our present time in experiencing the holy mystery of the human encounter at three levels: through the power of astonishment and marveling in our thinking, through the power of compassion and love in our feeling, through the power of moral consciousness in our will.

Is there a connection between the “Forces of Heaven” and the planets?
What are all the different things these words from

For thousands of years, “heavenly powers” were understood as a sevenfoldness. Even today, this is reflected in the seven days of the week. Moreover, in the Gospel of St. John, for example, two sevens are represented in a mysterious way: The seven I Am words and the seven symbolic deeds performed by Jesus Christ. And of course through Rudolf Steiner we know of the sevenfoldness of the ancient Christian initiatory path that begins with the Washing of the Feet and leads to the Ascension. Where are these seven “heavenly powers” today?
In an overly-simplistic way, people today tend to conceive of these heavenly powers as refering only to the sun. But what about the other six astrological heavenly bodies?
Rudolf Steiner once spoke of the fact that in the course of the fifth post-Atlantean cultural epoch there will be a resurrection of the old astrology, which will be “permeated by the Christ impulse” (Jan. 2nd, 1914, GA 149). What could he have meant by this? For a very long time Klaus Schäfer-Blankenhorn, a parishioner from Freiburg im Breisgau, has been dealing with the question of what it could mean if the Christ, as “Lord of the celestial forces on earth”, were to be understood not only as Lord of the Sun, which has become earthly, but also as the Lord of the forces of the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, which have likewise become earthly – and hence Christian.
Person details: born in 1954, married, two grown children, from 1987- 2021 work as a Waldorf teacher, since 1994 work on the question of a contemporary and future astrology in Rudolf Steiner’s sense, seminars, consultations, books.

Movement for religious renewal as a bearer of the Mysteries and a continuation of the history of the Church

Outwardly, the Christian Community has much in common with the traditional church stream – and yet it is different. It was founded following the hidden mystery stream. It is a movement that unites two formerly hostile worlds. This has led – and in some cases still leads – to some misunderstandings. How can the Christian Community be understood in the context of church history? What is its relationship to the new mysteries and to anthroposophy? How did this relationship develop and change in the years 1922 to 1925 and how is it today?

What are we doing when we understand a story from the Bible? It would seem as if the Disciples’ question in Joh. 9 on the reason for the beggar’s innate blindness implies the notion of karma. Is that really the case? What is Christ talking about in his enigmatic answer, which refers to “the manifestation of the Works of God”? How do we read this answer with respect to the End of History and to its remarkable dramatics? – The objective of this workshop is to try out different approaches to understanding the topic and to practice changing one’s perspective. Practice of this kind is active exercise of the Consciousness Soul.
Three units:
1. The Disciples’ question referring to the reason for being born blind
2. “Doing the Works of God” – Karma, Healing or Revelation?
3. The meaning of the Christ-knowledge gained by the man born blind

Ideals are fine – but how do I put them into practice in everyday life?
Practical instructions for spiritual work
Behind every ideal there is a being that connects with the human being as soon as he grasps the ideal with his enthusiasm. But what hinders its actual realisation is usually not first the outside world or other people, but one’s own mental constitution. It must undergo a transformation in order to become a suitable tool for the being behind the ideal. To this end, I will try to introduce some methodical steps.

How can one understand such a step an how can one learn to cope with it?
When a person ends their own life, it is usually impossible for others to understand and extremely painful for the survivors. Those left behind are often speechless and in despair. What was going on inside the deceased to make them take this step? Quick judgments about such an act aren’t helpful. Concrete reports and experiences, as well as questions, can open up ways to approach the mystery of this phenomenon. Based on questions from the participants, we will consider the topic and the dynamics that can be involved. Both lecturers have experienced the loss of someone close in this way. The conversation will be offered both in English and in German.

Soul moods of Christianity
Immediately after the foundation of the Christian Community, Rudolf Steiner gave an evening lecture on October 1, 1922, in which he characterized three spiritual currents in Christianity. A western one, connected with the Grail, an eastern one connected with the great cultic acts, and a third, middle current, which took hold of Central and Western Europe not only religiously, but scientifically, as well. We intend in three units to deal with these currents and to explore the question of what they mean for the present.

What did I come into this world for? What have I set out to do? Is it (only) about earning as much money as possible and living a comfortable life? Can I give a meaning to my life? Are strokes of fate a sign – if so, what for? We are going to try to find out how to find purpose in one’s own life by doing exercises together and by talking with each other. And we are going to start looking for it right away.

Childbirth – what is that, anyway? – between nature and high-tech medicine, the past and the future, dependency and self-determination, pain and utmost happiness, fear and courage, the sense world and the spiritual world? Farewell and arrival in one, struggle and surrender, me and you, giving birth and being born.
We will turn traditional ideas upside down about what birthing must be like and how women have to suffer through it; we will switch perspectives and discover just how different this life event can look: how years, if not the whole life, are condensed in childbirth – with all the trimmings. But who directs this adventure in the forces of nature? And what does the child actually experience?
Whether these moments of concentrated life lie in the distant or near future, or whether they are already part of our own lives: all persons are welcome who are willing to muster the courage for at least two changes in perspective, to discover what childbirth has to do with our whole life and how it can become something worth looking forward to.

Elective affinities, communities of responsibility and other news
The future of the Christian community needs organisational imagination: what spiritual family really is.
A group experiential workshop in monologue-dialogue-polylogue forms. Being a peaceful person is the goal, and that’s why ‘getting along’ is so important for healing and transforming relationships, (elective) family and work. Because transgenerational trauma continues to work unconsciously, in all of us…. We will meet in birth year cohorts in small groups and later in the large group to gather themes interactively. Thematically, both the Gospels (Paul 1, Cor. 13) and the values from communication science will be woven into a pulsating look backward and forward. Playful exchange will come about, both verbally and with objects, for the purpose of exploring one’s own biographical narrative.
Personal information: I would rather be happy than right.

Educational oases in the desert of civilisation
On earth, nature is in danger. Plants and animals are leaving the earth. The planet and its natural kingdoms cannot develop healthily without the work of humans. But the greatest danger threatens childhood. “Education” and “school” need to be completely rethought in terms of the Earth’s need. We want to create life rafts for childhood and thus for man’s ability to develop.

What comes after the cell phone?
Electrolessness will determine the future
Even “green” electricity is magnetic. Electricity has been around for about 120 years – generated from fossil fuels, which accelerate climate change. But electricity from renewable sources has no future either. The electromagnetic pollution of our civilization will continue to increase even with “clean” energy – cancer and corona are consequences. We have to think about a future without electricity again – a necessity for survival.

Since their beginnings in the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, the natural sciences have pursued a single goal: To understand the world and, by extension, human beings. Essentially, this concern involves connecting otherwise unconnected experiences and observations by means of thinking. Freedom is not possible any other way.
Technology – derived from the Greek word techne, meaning craft – was a subordinate goal. Only in the last century did science become a tool to shape, transform and, usually unintentionally, destroy the everyday world. Today it directs society and politics with dangerous consequences.
Persons interested in science are cordially invited to an open discussion.
Personal details: Together with Matthias Rang, co-leader of the Natural Science Section at the Goetheanum. Doctorate in molecular genetics. Since 1987 collaborator in the Natural Science Section with Goethean projects in developmental biology, ecology of butterflies, and unintended effects of genetic modification of crops. In recent years, the focus has been on bees – spiritually and in research.

Why staring at a picture screen for hours on end promotes the materialistic world-view and creates an aversion toward religious content

For this purpose prior knowledge will need to be imparted, by means of brief introductions I will give: How is movement created in pictures, and how is it that the technology used in this way has an effect on the subconscious? How are states of trance and hypnosis induced? What makes the media so attractive – both in Steiner’s times and today? To understand the way in which cinematographs carry us into materialism is to become capable of critical examination of one’s own interaction with the media.
Personal details: After studying German, Romance languages and philosophy, I took up media and communication studies, which were new at that time. In 1975 I accepted a professorship in this field (I majored in art education and visual communication at the University of Bremen). From the very start I include Anthroposophy in my research on the media (above all: spiritual scientific research on the senses, on anthropology, Steiner’s statements on the history of consciousness).

Working group with perception exercises on nature
“All around us, all creatures are waiting with great longing” (Romans 8:19) – for man to become a Christian.
In the Christianity of past history, nature was conceived of as a primarily heathen affair; all that mattered was the salvation of the human soul. Humanity felt increasingly separated and alienated from nature.
In the face of the affliction and destruction of the kingdoms of nature, a transformation is beginning to take place, in the form of a new appreciation of nature.
What does Christianity have to do with the earth? How can our view on nature become a Christian one?

Karma consciousness, transubstantiation and determinism

Rudolf Steiner encouraged the new priesthood to take on the challenges presented by these three mysteries; with the tree beings behind these myteries, and with the tastks that each of these three place before us. A major sign of our times is the confrontation between Materialism and Determinism on the one hand, and on the other hand the develeopment of a consciousness for the way Karma works. In the middle stands a deed carried out by human beings and Gods together – Transsubstantiation – that bears the key to the resolution of these three mysteries.

A possible bridge between East and West
The most recent war catastrophe seems to be threatening to divide the world into East and West once again. Can we, as Central Europe, add to these two opposites a third instance, one capable of bridging the gap? In this workshop we want to familiarize ourselves with the core ideas of the Threefold Social Order, and to struggle for a clear distinction between the three areas of the social organism: the spiritual life, the economic life and the legal life.
Personal details: The two of us are 26 years old. Over the past three years we have been intensely involved in coming to grips with the prophetic idea of the Threefold Social Order, for the purpose of making a film on the topic. Both of us are students (philosophy and law, respectively). We would now like to set up a course of study in Social Threefolding.

Or: What does the structure of the human skeleton have to do with the pharaonic culture on the Nile?

Thus, on the third day of the course we will no longer be dealing with biological topics, but – of all things -with the basic structure of the ancient Egyptian empire, which through the laws of the Trinity we will be able to understand at a completely different level than we could without these laws. The workshop will likely not be as theoretical as it may seem here, since we will be dealing not only with discussions and observation exercises, but also with biological specimens and pictures. Hence it is suitable for all age groups.

Who is interested in this question and would like to deepen their understanding of this topic in the social artistic? Be it through conversation, movement improvisation, eurythmy or painting on a communal work. The encounters in the workshop can enable an inner experience of the Threefolding – “evoked” through the artistic process.
Personal details: The initiative group “Dreigliederung des sozialen Organismus” (“The Threefoldinf of the Social Order”), in Dortmund. We are members and non-members of the Christian Community, the Anthroposophical Society and the Free University.
We meet as a working group – to explore the threefolding of the social organism – out of insight into the necessity for social change – from the germinal cell which is I – You – We. Every human being carries in his deepest inner being the longing for freedom, equality and brotherhood. After all, every human being is a threefold being consisting of body, soul and spirit, and is – by virtue of the soul forces of thinking, feeling and willing with which he is endowed – constantly in the very midst of actually implementing the threefold structure not only of his own being, but of his environment, as well.

When people work together, the “striving for validity” (a.k.a. Lucifer) and the “striving for possession” (i.e., Ahriman), come together as adversaries to cause the “striving for power”. Social threefolding can help to awaken the Christ impulse, so that it becomes possible for groups to function in a socially viable manner.

Cultic music in extended tonality
Introduction to extended tonality and practical practice in singing and playing.
In a few congregations in the German-speaking world, the impulse of music in extended tonality as elaborated by Heiner Ruland (1934-2017) is alive: there are 24tone organs in existence, music in extended tonality is heard regularly in worship, and the congregation also sings “in extended tonality”.
The goal of this workshop is to bring this impulse to wider circles. We will strive for balance between theoretical information and actual practice on pieces of music for the religious service. The workshop is primarily, but not only, aimed at people who would like to make music in the Kultus.
