Does Anthroposophy have a future? This question seems to have been very much alive for Rudolf Steiner in the weeks leading up to the Christmas Foundation Meeting. Was it this question that inspired his decision to inaugurate the esoteric work of the School for Spiritual Science?

Our first speech intensive of the year will join the full-time speech training for an invigorating eight days. With a theme of the four elements, the program will include the basic building blocks of clear and vivid speech needed for rich story-telling. Classes will be M–F, from 8:15am to 4p, and will include Speech Formation, Speech Chorus, Greek Gymnastics, and Eurythmy.
The exercise of Greek gymnastics — running, jumping, wrestling, discus, and javelin — is a joyful pathway toward a healthy relationship of self to world, and helps build the foundation for powerful, skillful, and graceful speech. Join Carley Horan for an introduction to and practice in these events.
