Eurythmy for Winter Calendar of the Soul
This is the eighth and final lesson of this powerful series. We have completed Calendar of the Soul verses for 4 verses of this season of late winter: one from January, one from March, the week before Easter and the week of Easter. These are all forms that I created for solo work, fully aware that Rudolf Steiner's beautiful forms for these verses are all made for multiple eurythmists interweaving. We carefully created forms and sounds for all these verses.
In this, the 7th lesson of this series, we began with a study of the vowels, as expressions of the heart, in contrast to the consonants. When we turned to the 2 Calendar of the Soul verses that we have studies thus far, we worked first on developing an approach in which we practice truly going deeper into creating true meaning with our gestures, and not merely practicing grace and agility.
This is the 6th of seven lessons in a series in which we both cultivate a deep study of the consonants and also work on selected verses from the Calendar of the Soul for this season. Nearing our end, in this class we reviewed the verses from the end of January and the beginning of March, and learned the text and form for the verse for the 52nd week.
This is the fifth of this series of eight eurythmy lessons in which we work with the verses of the Calendar of the Soul for the late winter season, as it presses forward towards spring.
This is the 4th webinar of the series on the Calendar of the Soul verses, accompanied by a deepening study of the consonants as sculptors of the natural world and of the human form. In this lesson, we began a new verse form the Calendar of the Soul, written for the beginning of March.
This is the third in a series of eight webinars that undertakes a deep dive into understanding the nature of consonants as formative forces in nature and in the human being, and what we are truly doing in eurythmy when we learn to move these etheric formative forces in our eurythmy practice. We learned more consonants in this series, including combination sounds such as ST for Strong, and SPT for spirit. We then turned to the Calendar of the Soul verse for the depths of winter, and brought it to a degree of completion, working with the consciousness of the reality of our etheric movement as imprinting language forces into the world.
This is the second webinar in this series, and continues with introducing new consonants (P, T, G, K and S) and diving more deeply into the first of several Calendar of the Soul verses.
This is the first is a series of 8 Webinars, in which we study selected verses in the period from January through Spring from Rudolf Steiner's Calendar of the Soul. We also focus on a new study of the gestures for the consonants in eurythmy.
