A man saw a ball of gold in the sky…

A man saw a ball of gold in the sky;
He climbed for it,
And eventually he achieved it –
It was clay.
Now this is the strange part:
When the man went to the earth
And looked again,
Lo, there was a ball of gold.
Now this is the strange part:
It was a ball of gold.
Aye, by the heavens, it was a ball of gold.

A Walk - by Rainer Maria Rilke My eyes already touch the sunny hill.going far ahead of the road I have begun.So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp;it has inner light, even from a distance- and charges us, even if we do not reach it,into something else, which, hardly sensing it,we already are; a gesture waves us onanswering our own wave…but what we feel is the wind in our faces.


A Walk - by Rainer Maria Rilke

My eyes already touch the sunny hill.
going far ahead of the road I have begun.
So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp;
it has inner light, even from a distance-

and charges us, even if we do not reach it,
into something else, which, hardly sensing it,
we already are; a gesture waves us on
answering our own wave…
but what we feel is the wind in our faces.

How Does Someone Train To Be A Steiner Teacher? ‘…In a lecture to the first Waldorf teachers, Rudolf Steiner said: “We must find our way more and more toward our task, which is to make human beings truly human. It sounds simple. But grand and complex questions are raised by this statement. What exactly is “truly human?” Herein lies the key to preparing Waldorf teachers. Their humanity is what has to be developed. That’s all…’  - read on…

Dusk Ceremony at Rookwood Necropolis The Dusk Ceremony falls at a time of the year where we honour the completion of our growing season, of harvest and the lighter more active months. We enter into our time of rest and renewal. In these months, we begin to dream and conceive the seeds of possibility, for when spring comes. In many spiritual and religious traditions this is the time of year for renewal and for the deep, transforming power of rest within the growing darkness. In the southern hemisphere, seasonally, this is our ‘Halloween’ the time of year where the veils between our worlds are the thinnest. This year it follows Easter, also a time of rebirth and renewal. This ceremony, conducted within a civil context, celebrates the beautiful surrounds of Rookwood and invites people to lay to rest what is passed, what is done and to begin to kindle what may come from here. We are celebrating the time of ‘in between’ – of transformation when you are not yet one thing or another, a powerful and often uncertain time, that we bathe in light, music, song, fire and a warm soup to set us on our way. Gathering and Ceremony, 4:30 – 6:00pm We will from our time in the Serpentine Canal and make our way a short distance to the Elephant House. There will be a ceremony at Dusk inside the Elephant House at the conclusion of which, people light their lanterns. There will be all elements represented- earth, air, water, incense, mounds of earth in which we can place whatever we lay to rest. The ceremony will be followed by a fire, soup and bread.

Dusk Ceremony at Rookwood Necropolis

The Dusk Ceremony falls at a time of the year where we honour the completion of our growing season, of harvest and the lighter more active months. We enter into our time of rest and renewal. In these months, we begin to dream and conceive the seeds of possibility, for when spring comes. In many spiritual and religious traditions this is the time of year for renewal and for the deep, transforming power of rest within the growing darkness.

In the southern hemisphere, seasonally, this is our ‘Halloween’ the time of year where the veils between our worlds are the thinnest.

This year it follows Easter, also a time of rebirth and renewal.

This ceremony, conducted within a civil context, celebrates the beautiful surrounds of Rookwood and invites people to lay to rest what is passed, what is done and to begin to kindle what may come from here. We are celebrating the time of ‘in between’ – of transformation when you are not yet one thing or another, a powerful and often uncertain time, that we bathe in light, music, song, fire and a warm soup to set us on our way.

Gathering and Ceremony, 4:30 – 6:00pm 
We will from our time in the Serpentine Canal and make our way a short distance to the Elephant House. There will be a ceremony at Dusk inside the Elephant House at the conclusion of which, people light their lanterns. There will be all elements represented- earth, air, water, incense, mounds of earth in which we can place whatever we lay to rest.

The ceremony will be followed by a fire, soup and bread.
