Sunday, January 12, 4:00 PM 5:30 PM
Anthropos Presents:
The Incarnation of the Logos
An Epic Tale of Christ’s Coming to Earth
Told by Actor and Storyteller Glen Williamson
A Fundraiser for the ESV Graduating Class’ trip to Dornach,
Switzerland
This wondrous story begins with the messianic prophecies in the Temple in Jerusalem, weaves through many parts of the world and throughout history, and ends with the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. Magnificent pictures of the dynamic interpenetration of divine and human worlds are sometimes astonishing and sometimes familiar in this dramatic chapter of the greatest story ever told.
Glen Williamson weaves this epic from the two very different stories of Jesus’ birth in the Gospels of Mathew and Luke, as well as from the work of spiritual researcher Rudolf Steiner and theologians Emil Bock and Edward R. Smith.
Tickets at the Door: $20 (regular), $12 (students and seniors)

January 17 – 20
At the heart of biodynamics is the image of caring for the earth and her kingdoms, as you would for a living being, that can unfold and develop into an independent, self-sustaining entity. The animals that live within, upon, and above the earth who play such a vital role in weaving together the farm individuality will be our focus. Come spend this festive midwinter time with us in lecture, conversation, meal sharing, and artistic and practical activities. This course is most accessible to those who have some familiarity with Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual scientific perspective, but is open to all who would like to spend time in community deepening their understanding of the living earth.

ESV Ensemble Evening Performance for the Threefold Community Farm Agricultural Conference
2025-01-18 20:00 - 21:00 | Threefold Auditorium, 260 Hungry Hollow Road, Chestnut Ridge, NY, 10977, United States
A Shovel of Stars Overhead: Where To? What Next?
ESV Ensemble for the Midwinter Agriculture Intensive
Saturday, January 18th. 8:00 pm
“A Shovel of Stars Overhead: Where to? What next?” embodies the longing, questioning, and bewilderment that belong to this moment in America, while asking where, from whom, and how something greater can come to be. The program is inspired by the words and compositions of a diversity of artists who poignantly reflect the tensions of their own time. These include the beloved and influential Langston Hughes, statesman Archibald MacLeish, the modern lyric Denise Levertov, and great American bard Walt Whitman. Levertov and other poets in the program orient us to the transcendent presence of the invisible in our midst. Evocative 20th-century American composer Henry Cowell sets the stage, while contemporary composer Grigory Smirnov threads through the tensions to a quieter, inner place. The rich harmonies of Sibelius and Chopin weave past into future, and east into west, leading us to the grandeur, purpose, and elemental urge in Antonin Dvorak’s final movement of the “Dumky” piano trio. Written not long before Dvorak’s maiden voyage to America, the trio’s changing harmonies and rhythms seem to anticipate the dawning vistas of a new land, and reflect something of the elusive and vast, young and surging, fighting but maturing American spirit.
Tickets at the Door: $20 (regular), $12 (students and seniors)

Friday, February 14th, 8 pm

Anthroposophical physician Dr. James Dyson and actor and playwright Glen Williamson will share from their decades-long friendship and conversations about the new social mysteries of human relationship. They will explore natural clairvoyance and a new etheric clairvoyance in relation to Christianity, current events, and the last deeds of Rudolf Steiner’s life, drawing from his mystery dramas and the endeavor of Glen‘s plays Fire in the Temple and Future Dawning.
Glen Williamson is an actor, playwright and impresario. He recently produced a full-cast production of his new play, Fire in the Temple, and has begun performing his abridged readings of Vladimir Solovyov’s Antichrist story. In past years, he played multiple roles in touring productions of The Gospel of John and Goethe’s Tale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily as well as the title role in Aeschylus Unbound, which Glen co-wrote with the late film star Mala Powers. He appeared as Johannes Thomasius in all four of Rudolf Steiner’s mystery dramas in 2014, and his sequel to these dramas, Future Dawning, has received several lauded staged readings. Glen has given his one-man performances throughout North America and in Europe. Visit his website at anthropostheater.com.
Dr. James Dyson has been a practicing physician since 1975, co-founder of the Park Attwood Clinic (UK), Founding faculty member of the Medical Section Seminar in Mental Health (UK) in 1990, the English Training in Anthroposophic Medicine in 2005, and the Anthroposophic Psychology Training Programme (AAP) (USA), which was certified in 2016 by the Medical Section at the Goetheanum. He is focused on including interpersonal and psychosocial awareness as part of a path of esoteric development.

Working Together: Exploring what Steiner meant by the term “association”

A workshop with Seth Jordan
February 15th, 1:30-5:00 pm
Drop-in Rate: $0-150
Throughout his life, Rudolf Steiner spoke about the need to work together in the spirit of brotherhood/sisterhood. But Steiner was no abstract moralist. He knew the interpersonal difficulties that inevitably arise, as well as the larger capitalist structures in need transforming, and he gave practical indications on how to address these things.
Join us as we explore — with Steiner’s help — the nature, challenges, and possibilities of working together.

Parzival: A Story for Our Time
2025-02-24 - 2025-02-28 | School of Eurythmy, 289 Hungry Hollow Rd, Chestnut Ridge, NY, 10977, United States
A Course on Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzival by Karl Fredrickson

Monday, February 24, through Friday, February 28.
11: 15 am – 12:25 pm

“Open up! – To whom? Who are you? – I wish to enter your heart. – Then it is a small space you wish. – What does that matter? Though I scarcely find room, you will have no need to complain of crowding. I will tell you now of wondrous things. – Oh, is it you, Lady Adventure?” (Book Nine of Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzival)
In Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzival, we are lifted to the pinnacle of the High Medieval imagination, where the bravery and courtesy of men come to meet the steadfastness and gentleness of women. We have the joy of new adventures, on the one hand, and the deepest grief and suffering, on the other. We move between the Court of Arthur and the Circle of the Grail, from Munsalvaesche to the Castle of Wonders, from Parzival to Gawain. And throughout the grand knightly adventures, we find scenes of the greatest tenderness as well as charming moments of humor.
For Wolfram, the world was a soulscape filled with goodness and meaning. As we accompany Parzival on his long and winding journey to the Grail, we will approach themes of self-discovery, facing failure and a devotion to ideals that have much to say for our own times.
As Laura Freeburn puts it, “a long engagement with this story will feel like an exhaustive tour of a Gothic cathedral that leaves you spent but filled with admiration.”
Course Fee: $100 (regular), $60 (students and seniors)
