Join with friends from the regional councils and various branches as we turn our attention to the powerful Verse for America. Brigida Baldszun of the Threefold Branch in Spring Valley, NY, will share the interesting history of this verse with us. Alice Stamm of Sacramento, California, will show us the entire verse in eurythmy. We’ll hear several different translations read by many voices and consider the impact of certain words on our hearts and minds. Come ready to share your experience and practice of the verse in your group or branch, as we’ll make time for small group sharing.

We are eager to spend time together exploring this Verse for America as a way to prepare ourselves for our annual meeting, less than one month away, in our nation’s capital, Washington DC. Visit this link for more information about the annual conference.

 

Verse for America
May our feeling penetrate
Into the center of our heart,
And seek, in love, to unite itself
With the human beings seeking the same goal,
With the spirit beings who, bearing grace,
Strengthening us from realms of light
And illuminating our love,
Are gazing down upon
Our earnest, heart-felt striving.

-Rudolf Steiner
