| August 2: THE LOGIC OF THE WILL This class introduces a method to instill harmony and healing in social connections and contexts. It builds on the Logic of the Heart practice, introduced in July. The Logic of the Heart is a method for purifying perception, lifting our consciousness out of the astral body so that our awareness becomes objective and we can perceive what is true when looking at our soul life. To be able to purify our perception through the Logic of the Heart is the necessary first step for the Logic of the Will exercise. Through the Logic of the Will human relationships and conflicts can be healed, bringing harmony and well-being into community life. This fosters healing in the present and helps prepare for the future. October 4: WORKING WITH CHAINS OF REPEATED OCCURRENCES Working with both the Logic of the Heart and the Logic of the Will, this class introduces a method to foster healing for our life experiences, connecting us to the Grail stream. Participation in one of Dietlind’s previous classes is a prerequisite for this class. Dietlind Kionke-Thoemmes was born in Germany where she trained and practiced as a physician before moving permanently to Marin County in the U.S. in 1995. Her deeper impulse, rooted in Anthroposophy, was always to bring healing not only to the physical body but also to all the layers of the human being. In 2003, she became deeply inspired by the work of Armen Tougu, a Christian Community priest who was visiting San Francisco at that time. As she heard his descriptions of his work with a group of his congregants, she could see how Anthroposophical wisdom was able to illumine pressing social and destiny questions, leading to positive solutions and significant healing. Armen based his approach to inner and social healing on the exercises described by Rudolf Steiner and has, supported by an international group, developed a body of basic methods of concentration and meditation for inner and social healing in our time. Dietlind began her study and practice with Armen in 2003, pursuing this path intensively. In recent years she has been providing counseling and instruction in the basic methods and has also been teaching more comprehensive courses built on these methods. She recognizes that inner and social healing are what is needed if humanity is to evolve towards the tasks of the future. |
