Invitation to Middle Tennessee Anthroposophic Branch’s Celebration of the Anthroposophical Society 100 Year Anniversary of the Christmas Conference -Sunday Dec. 10th 2:00-4:00 pm
“This Christmas Conference marked a significant moment in world history. During the conference, Rudolf Steiner inaugurated a unique and specific social form in the way he re-founded the Anthroposophical Society, with the School for Spiritual Science as its core. Simultaneously, the foundation for this Society was laid not into the earth, as it had been for the building of the First Goetheanum, but into human hearts, through the Foundation Stone Meditation. This means that a spiritual community can and will be achieved wherever human beings gather with one another in conscious awareness of it. ” Anthroposophical Society of America

“ When the events of autumn and winter draw on, when Michaelmas comes, humans certainly must enter sensitively into the processes of fading and dying; but they must not, as they do in summer, give themself over to a nature-consciousness. On the contrary, they must then devote themselves to self-consciousness.”

LAURA DUKE
Laura Duke is a music Teacher at Linden Waldorf School who enjoys singing and making music with the children every day. She will give information and demonstration on Werbeck singing. The Werbeck Method is a method for singing and voice therapy developed by Swedish singer Svärdström Valborg Werbeck, following the ideas of
Rudolf Steiner and Anthroposophy. It approaches the voice and
singing as something natural in humans and tries to recover the spontaneity and ease of natural speech. The Festival and bonfire will take place at Linden School’s Kindergarten playground or inside the church if it rains. Paper plates, cups and forks are provided. You may want to bring your own chair. Suggested donation is $20 or what you can afford.
