Title of presentation „Evolution of architecture and human consciousness“
Together we will look at how architecture addresses the human Soul. We will look at how the human Self (Human I) evolves, how we experience it mentally and how this relates to architecture. I will show you how it is possible to be educated in goetheanistic art and in the making of anthroposophical architecture and furniture. We will use examples to show concrete buildings and their craftsmanship. We will also look into the design of sacred architecture and free art. And we will touch on, for example, the use of parables to depict biblical stories. We will relate anthroposophical art, waldorf pedagogy, art therapy, biodynamic agriculture and anthroposophical medicine. These are all related to the creation of architecture and the environment and the impact on our overall health.
Each of weekly Cafés include approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours of interactions (some elements are recorded) which will include the following general format:
- “Welcoming of All” and the lighting of a candle for the Cafe, followed by a sharing of the current week’s Calendar of the Soul verse (typically in both English and German).
- A ‘Leading Thought’ is shared by one of our guest presenters that will last approximately 30 minutes
- Breakout discussions based on a question or topic from the ‘Leading Thought’ (not recorded) that allow for small group conversations for about 20-25 minutes.
- Once all return to the Main Room after breakouts, open discussions and Q&A with our guest presenter on the topic shared at the Café (about 20 minutes).
- The formal, recorded part of the Cafe is then ended with a closing verse and the extinguishing of the candle for the Café.
- Once the above is completed (which is approximately 90 minutes in duration), an optional 30 minutes of open (and unrecorded) conversations is possible before the Café’s webinar is closed.
