Rudolf Steiner celebration
Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 10:13PM Rudolf Steiner celebrates the 150th anniversary of the founder's birth with a forum in Auckland.
Rudolf Steiner was born in Kraljevec in Austria on February 27th,1861 and in 2011, 150 years after his birth, various events and acknowledgement of his unique gifts to the world are taking place in Auckland and throughout the world.
'Living in Auckland' - Searching The Heavens, Treading The Earth will provide the opportunity on two separate days for anyone to find out more and experience all that 'lives' in the City of Sails out of the indications of Rudolf Steiner. On March 12th at the Titirangi Rudolf Steiner School in Helios Place, Titirangi and on April 2nd at Michael Park School at 55 Amy Street in Ellerslie there will be a range of talks throughout the day and workshops with lots of hands-on experiences. There will also be a range of displays, demonstrations, therapeutic treatments with nurses and an art exhibition. There is also a crèche available on both days which will run from 10am until 5pm, and a café will open all day.
Rudolf Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society in 1924 which now has branches worldwide including in Auckland. He worked intensively to develop a new world view based on his spiritual researches. And it was from this research that he was able to provide indications in many areas of human activity, including education; there are currently ten Waldorf/Rudolf Steiner Schools and fifteen kindergartens in New Zealand. His new developments in agriculture, Biodynamics, continue to attract an increasing number of farmers, orchardists, wine growers and home gardeners. And a genuinely holistic medicine, together with many indications in economics, philosophy, special education, science, the arts, religion and the new art of eurythmy are part of daily life for many people today .
During his lifetime Steiner wrote around 30 books and delivered over 6,000 lectures to audiences across Europe detailing the results of his spiritual scientific researches and a phenomenological approach towards an understanding of the spirit. The relationship between the human being and the cosmos were a primary focus which has resulted in a multi-faceted and innovative approach to modern life which is even more applicable for life in the 21st century.
So come and join us on one of these days and explore the innovative fruits of Rudolf Steiner's work in 2011 that continue to influence today's mainstream and offer the potential for dealing with the important questions of our time.
