In this four-part series, we explore the virtues of Thinking, feeling and willing in eurythmy. These three soul qualities all work and are expressed differently in eurythmy, unfold differently in movement, and develop our souls in distinct ways. Through immersing ourselves in this fascinating study, we develop our own self-knowledge and soul work.
In these four sessions, we study one Thinking poem, one Feeling poem, and one Willing poem. We also worked on the poem “To Wonder at Beauty,” a poem written by Rudolf Steiner for children who attend Waldorf schools, which expressed the goal of Waldorf education, that they would mature into adults who are balanced in thinking, feeling and willing.

In this series, we worked on warmup exercises, learned how to work with the body zones (heart, heard, limbs) that correspond to the three faculties, and explored how to use specific gestures of the head and gaze. We also worked with the three with the health-bringing Soul Exercises “Ah Reverence,” “Love-Ā,” and Hope-U.”
