Program at a Glance
In this self-paced course, we invite you to deepen your understanding of the festivals by looking through a different lens- the mood of each season and its relationship to three of Rudolf Steiner’s twelve senses. Exploring how each relationship creates an archetype will deepen our connection to our treasured natural world and the festivals that celebrate it!
Exploring each season in connection to these senses:
Autumn- Touch, Vision, Ego
Winter- Life, Warmth, Concept
Spring- Movement, Smell, Language
Summer- Balance, Taste, Hearing
