Description
A Home for Spirit: The Michaelic Impulse of the Schreinerei
In this video we turn our attention towards an interesting building on the Dornach hill in Switzerland, made sacred by the remarkable activities that have taken place there: the Schreinerei. Originally a place for carpentry, this space served as the building workshop for the First Goetheanum, a lecture hall, an art studio, the venue for the Christmas Conference, and, as the resting place of Rudolf Steiner during the last months of his life. We often gravitate to the more obvious temples and grandiose buildings of our time, and yet humble buildings such as a carpenter's shed can contain many treasures and gifts in their own right.
We will hear leading thoughts about the history and deeper significance of the Schreinerei from historian Dr John Paull, practice eurythmy with Mary Ruud. Attendees will also recieve a video tour of the Schreinerei with Esther Gerster and a recording of Steiner's last lecture, given as a Michaelmas address in the Schreinerei 99 years ago read by ASA staff.
