Rich and amazing speakers, plus interesting workshops at the Samford Valley Stainer School!
 THE ENIGMA OF THE 3 FOLD AND 4 FOLD HUMAN BEING.
May 3,4,5 at Samford Valley Steiner School
(SVSS)
5 Narrawa Road, Wights Mountain, Queensland.
The Raphaelite Collective Therapeutic group of SVSS are hosting a weekend of therapeutic presentations and workshops for teachers, therapists, parents and anyone who may have
an interest.
There will be keynote speakers
presenting as well as therapists holding
workshops. The Raphaelite therapeutic group will offer insights and experiences of their
therapeutic work through workshops. All
modalities are presented by therapists working from a base of anthroposophy.
The topic of Steiner’s philosophy of the 3 Fold and 4 Fold Human will underpin the weekend's work.
Keynote speakers: Irmhild Kleinhenz,
Barbara Baldwin, Jan Baker Finch and Alan Drysdale will bring their perspectives from their individual professional experience.
Keynote speakers will present in the mornings on Saturday, Sunday and Monday and in the afternoon of Saturday and Sunday.
Indoor and outdoor camping is available on site, some billeting availability and some catering.
It is intended that participants may choose to attend the complete conference or individual sessions.
Keynote Speakers:
Irmhild Kleinhenz: Irmhild comes to us with many years’ experience as an anthroposophical naturopath
and endorsed mentor / tutor. As a keynote speaker, Irmhild will present 'How the adult constitution affects
the child's constitution at different levels of development, known as the Pedagogic or Therapeutic Law.'
Irmhild will also speak on 'The birth of the etheric heart and the spiritual future impulses of humanity.'
Barbara Baldwin: Barbara is a curative educator and speech therapist, with many years of experience as
an educator of both students and teachers. Barbara's lecture is entitled 'The inner and outer aspects of the
threefold human being’
Alan Drysdale: ‘The Sun impulse and the Four-Fold Human Being’.
This is to be an exploration of Steiner's perspectives on the developing destiny of the fourfold human being
with regard to the positive guiding Sun forces and the adversarial Sun forces, the relevance of these to our
present time and the development of humanity into the near future.
Jan Baker Finch: Through revealing the reality of the three-fold and four-fold Human Being Rudolf Steiner
leads us on a very profound, rich and never-ending journey of exploration.
In this talk we will endeavour to
come closer to some of the finely layered aspects of this mystery of the Human Condition which is so fundamental to growing our capacity to work as healers, teachers and artists in life.
2. Workshop Options - Group 1 and Group 2
Workshops will be held in the morning and afternoon of Saturday and Sunday.
When booking please select a workshop from Group 1 and Group 2.
Ideally, you are following the same
workshops on both days unless the presenter is only giving one workshop…you may choose a second from
the same group.
Workshops - Group 1
1. Eurythmy Therapy with Karen Foster:
A little exploration through Eurythmy therapy of how these major aspects of the Human being
intersect - the 3 fold and 4 fold elements.
Art Therapy - Building Bridges with Kate Sharp: Building Bridges is an imaginative process where we will work with clay to restore inner balance.
Where there is extreme - be it too much, too little, or too hidden; from the fixed to the flowing. Where in ourselves do we work out of… coming to understand the different ways between working in the
sensory/physical/binary realm and the more invisible realm of soul and spirit. We will explore this in an experiential way.
Supportive Therapies with Mercedes Logan: A brief discussion on the child development from 7-21 and points in time where more support may be needed for the child i.e Rubicon. This discussion will also include how the environment around the child can be supportive. Participants will receive an experience of a compress.
The Gifts of Neurodiversity with Jackie Cox-Taylor - Many children are being diagnosed with conditions that fall under the term of neurodiversity. Parents and teachers of these children are often
very aware of the challenges of working with these children. In this workshop using Steiner’s lenses of observation and the polarities, and our understanding of the four-fold human being, we will
explore the gifts of neurodiversity. We will examine the communication intent and children’s perspectives of the reasons for their behaviours and share knowledge of ways to support the children in their journey to realising and working with their gifts.
3. 4. Workshops - Group 2
1. School Health Consultant with Irmhild Kleinhenz: The school health consultant and the Therapeutic team working together for Child Study. One session only on Saturday.
2. Art Therapy - Working with family of origin dynamics with Samuela Bettega
Clay is a non-verbal expressive language which penetrates and works into the layers of astrality.
This introductory workshop will provide a glimpse into how we explore the dynamics of the family of
origin by creating graphic and powerful images and forms of the impact of family of origin experiences of the client. One session only on Sunday.
3.
Exploring movement with Janet Bitschine - We will explore some ideas to support the diverse
needs within the classroom. In this workshop we will experience a variety of circle activities for differing needs. Each time we bring these movement exercises, we are inviting the children to feel
more comfortable in their bodies and surroundings. Please wear clothes suitable for movement.
4.
Embodiment as a gateway to Spirit with Natascia F - A reflection on the relevance of Embodiment in relation to the dissociative tendencies of our present time. Beyond the mere purpose
of bringing awareness to our own felt sense, the practice of Embodiment is furthermore explored as
a significant perceptual gateway to our inner Spirit, and ultimately, the Universal Life Forces by which is permeated.
The exploration offers a guided sensory journey of experience of Embodiment.
Please bring a yoga mat and a blanket for your comfort.
