Description
Easter 2024: Engaging the Mystery
In this 2024 series we will seek to answer this question by engaging with the Easter mystery through the esoteric imagery of the planetary seals at Spring Equinox, and by creating a contemporary “after image” form following the Holy Week and inspired by this year’s festival. This work of engaging with the Easter Mystery through form will also include an imagination on the celestial picture overarching this festival season.
This packet involves two Zoom recordings and 10 downloadable packets for Holy Week.
SESSION 1: Drawing the Sun Seal with Brian Gray
Rudolf Steiner's Planetary Seals are powerful images to help one awaken to the mysteries of cosmic and human evolution. This session will furnish you with a template of the Sun Seal to print out that bears significant points of the image, which you can use to draw the Sun Seal as a series of concave and convex lines. Brian Gray will guide you through this process - all you need is to print the template and have it ready to draw.
SESSION 2: The After-Image of Easter with Laura Embrey and Mary Stewart Adams
Laura will be bringing a form carrying the message of Christ's gift of the incorruptible physical archetype. We will be drawing the form together so bring your own paper and colored pencils! After we learn to draw this healing form, Mary Stewart Adams will share her resarch on the significance of the 40-day interval from Eastern to Ascension, which includes the Total Solar Eclipse on the 8th day after Easter.
SELF-GUIDED OFFLINE PACKETS:
Throughout the course of Holy Week and Easter we will send you a packet by email for your own self practice and study.
Included in this mailing will be
- Notes on the 8-fold path
- Information about the Harmony of the Gospels
- Four recordings of the lecture cycle "The Easter Festival in the Evolution of the Mysteries" (GA 233a) given by Rudolf Steiner during Easter 1924
...and more!
Please note: while this series was created for Easter 2024, the material is enriching and beneficial beyond this one festival
