“Can I know life’s reality
So that it’s found again
Within my soul’s creative urge?
I feel that I am granted power
To make my self, as humble part,
At home within the cosmic self.”
A call for deeper exploration of one’s self in Rudolf Steiner’s Verse 35, from the Calendar of the Soul,
ushers in the four weeks of Advent as a preparation for the Twelve Holy Nights of Christmas.
All are welcome to all gatherings.

Reading an advent lecture (for adults)
We will read and contemplate “Lecture I” from the Heart Lectures by Ehrenfried Pfeiffer, given on December 17, 1950, at the Threefold Farm in Spring Valley, NY.
“The human heart is an organ where a bridge is being built between the physical body and spiritual entity.”
“You have in you a creative sun that radiates light and warmth.”
