Foundation Studies Course
2011-2013
The Center for Anthroposophy will bring their Foundations Studies Course to
the Upper Valley Waldorf School if they have enough interest. Through
seminars, ongoing group work and artistic activities the Foundation Studies
Course addresses, at many levels, the broad themes of human development and
personal growth.
The Foundation Studies Course comprises three distinct but interrelated
elements:
1) Study of the basic books of Rudolf Steiner, including How to Know Higher
Worlds, Theosophy, An Outline of Esoteric Science, and Intuitive Thinking as
a Spiritual Path: A Philosophy of Freedom.
2) Cultivation of artistic activities that are transformative in nature,
such as speech, drama, music, eurythmy, painting, drawing, woodwork,
sculpture, and more.
3) Some experience of life in a Waldorf school as well as other cultural
initiatives arising from the work of Rudolf Steiner.
Within a broad outline, each cluster is custom-designed to meet the needs
and particular interests of the communities in which it is held. The course
is a two-year commitment and consists of students in the same geographic
area who meet every other week in guided group sessions that combine a
variety of both intellectual and artistic offerings. A minimum of 15 people
is needed to form a "cluster."
