On Fri, Mar 6 at 4:30pm, Luigi Morelli will give a lecture entitled The Calendar of the Soul as a Path to Self-knowledge through Feeling: Preparing Ourselves for Easter.

The Calendar of the Soul is a self-enclosed world, a little like the lessons of the First Class of the School of Spiritual Science, or the Foundation Stone Meditation. Rudolf Steiner called it a “potential path to self-
knowledge through feeling” (1 st preface to the Calendar). It is in fact a world that calls us to a participatory, fluid and artistic understanding of the relationship between soul and macrocosm through our immersion in the cycle of the seasons and the life of the festivals. Each season requires of us different soul qualities and at each mid-season point we meet a challenge that spurs us and helps us transition from one cardinal festival to another.

This presentation will focus on the rhythm of expansion the soul undertakes into the ethers (cosmic life, cosmic light and cosmic warmth) in spring and summer and the contraction/transformation they undergo in fall and winter. It will explore one specific transition and look at how the Calendar helps us move from winter and Christmas to spring and Easter. It will highlight what is required of us and how we can best support the coming Easter experience.

Luigi Morelli has worked extensively with the contents of the Calendar ofbthe Soul in the last fourteen years. What he has written about it can be found at www.millenniumculmination.net
