You are invited to join with a group of students and friends to create an online practice group to support personal transformation and world healing. Each weekday we meet for 15 minutes to practice the six “basic exercises” as described by Rudolf Steiner.
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/266986103?pwd=bXU4a0EvMmJkMDZTR0Rqcm0xZ0pUZz09
We will practice each of the 6 exercises for one month. We begin the time every day with a 5-minute leading thought on one aspect of the practice. We follow that with a 5- minute period in which we turn off our cameras and practice or meditate individually. After the five-minute bell, we allot 2 minutes to journal about our experience,
and the end the call with a 3-minute closing thought.
We are a diverse group of newcomers and long-time practitioners; we welcome anyone interested in taking up these exercises.
On Thursday, September 21 & Friday, September 22, we will have 2 days of introduction for newcomers.
Regular Practice begins Monday, September 25, 2023 and ends on Friday, March 29, 2024.
This group will meet every weekday for 15 minutes each weekday. The schedule each day (ET):
12:00: Opening thought/reading
12:05: 5-minute individual practice space 12:10: Journal time
12:12 Closing thought/reading
12:15 Close the space
Everyone is invited to participate. Come when you can and will. Free of charge.
We intend to stay as close to time as possible.

Why we journal: You are encouraged to bring a journal to make notes and keep track of your progress. We acknowledge that as students on the path we can become spiritual researchers. Our daily practice and our own biographies can become research when we are conscious of what we are working towards. When we write notes in our journals, we bring more focused will to our practice.
Co-creating the space: The intention is that we all co-create the container, with each other and the spiritual world. We need each other to participate so that our vessel will grow and evolve. All participants are invited to bring in a leading or closing thought. We have an online signup sheet and anyone can take a turn! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508054DAFA72AAA8-6bepractice1
Short & Sweet: By keeping the entire call to only 15 minutes, we hope to make it accessible to everyone in the middle of daily life. Bringing leading thoughts that are limited to 5 minutes, allows us to hone “what is essential” and trust that valuable lessons can be revealed through rhythm and time.
Time: weekdays 12:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
