In the Middle of the Knight

A Chrysalis Group
hosted by The Hummingbird Principle

As we move into the dark days of the year, this biography and social art workshop will work with some of the quiet forces of the inner life. With courage, we will enter into the experience of solitude, patience, faith, and forgiveness – four of the “Rules for a Knight” by Ethan Hawke. To complete this inner quest, we will find these themes in our own biographies, work to understand their significance, and share what we find with one another.

Date and Time: 
Tuesdays, October 29, November 5, 12, & 19
12 pm ET/9 am PT

Chrysalis Group Contribution:
Suggested: $60
Supporter: $80
Youth and Equity: $45

The Hummingbird Principle
Chris Burke is an associate professor of psychology at Lehigh University, where his research has focused on social relationships, grief, and coping with stress. He has been actively working with anthroposophy since 2012 and is certified as a Biography and Social Art facilitator. He sees biography work as a natural bridge between anthroposophy and psychology, with biography work offering a unique window into the archetype of the human being via the unique path of each individual. He has brought a biographical approach to his classes and other on-campus programs, and he has led and co-led biography and social art workshops both in the United States and internationally. He and Anne de Wild have developed a new project called The Hummingbird Principle, which is aimed at connecting individuals to the role that is theirs to play in facing the challenges of the modern world. He serves on the board of the Center for Biography and Social Art and lives in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with his wife and three children. 

Anne de Wild is a Naturopath whose work is based on Traditional European Natural Medicine (TEN) and kinesiology. After studying Anthroposophy at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland, in 2015-16, she completed her thesis on the concept of the Five Temperaments and has been bringing her ideas out into the world since then. She began studying biography and social art in 2016. She brings biography work into her clinical practice, and she finds that it supports her clients’ personal development and encourages them to enter more confidently into their social relationships. She sees biography and social art as a step toward inner and outer peace. She lives and works in Basel, Switzerland, where she offers monthly lectures on biography and social art. A lover of travel, she can often be found in other parts of Europe and in North America speaking, teaching, and connecting. She has four almost-grown-up children.
