Festival Gatherings

Throughout time and across world culture there are celebrations reflecting the natural rhythms of nature, and these are often linked to human life transitions and significant events in and of a culture. For modern people, who can live disconnected and distracted from the natural world of light and dark, planting and harvesting, birth and death, the celebration of festivals offers a portal of real experience, a touchstone connected to the cycles of nature which can offer nourishment to the human soul on its journey through life on earth.
In our Seasonal Festival Gatherings we are exploring, through an anthroposophical perspective, the ecumenical space of co-creating meaningful and relevant festival celebrations that welcome myth, traditions of many cultures and emergent elements that meet the needs of our times. Movement through eurythmy, explorations in the arts, conversation and biography, food and song, all play some part in these new festivals. We warmly welcome you to join us, all cultures, all people.
