Description:
As winter draws near, we feel our attention shift inwardly. Something new is required to strengthen our capacities for what lies ahead as the world outside us gets darker and colder.

Through the strength-giving power of the arts, we will develop the capacities to deal with the challenges of this threshold moment in the year. Laura Embrey will lead us through form drawings and connect them with the healing power of verses given by Steiner. Through the art of speech formation, Debra will offer us a deeper understanding of how to work with these verses as sacred word.

Our sessions will unfold in this following format (subject to small changes)

Session 1: The Sacred Threshold
Tuesday, November 1st

We will work with the following verses:

Quiet I bear within me,
I bear within myself
Forces to make me strong.
Now will I be imbued with their glowing warmth.
Now will I fill myself
With my own will’s resolve.
And I will feel the quiet
Pouring through all my being
When by my steadfast striving
I become strong
To find within myself the source of strength
The strength of inner quiet.
-Rudolf Steiner

May my love be woven as an offering
Into the sheaths which now surround you,
Cooling your heat,
Warming your cold,
Live upwards
Borne by love,
Endowed with light.
-Rudolf Steiner

Laura Embrey has been deeply interested in form drawing since the beginning of her career as a Waldorf teacher. Laura’s fascination with the beauty, power and efficacy of the forms has only increased over time. She has been a teacher for forty years, in both public and private Waldorf schools. She has recently retired from her position as Pedagogical Chair at Camellia Waldorf School in Sacramento, California, partly in order to bring her new discoveries regarding the meaning of

and ways of working with the forms to others. For more information please go to her website at www.lauraembrey.com
