CALENDAR OF THE SOUL

The Year Participated

In listening to the changing language of the year, said Rudolf Steiner, we can rediscover our individual nature. These meditative verses, one for each week of the year, help to awaken a feeling of unity with nature while simultaneously stimulating a discovery of the self. Through intensive work, Steiner's unique meditations can lead to a feeling of oneness with the world.

First presented during the refounding of the Anthroposophical Society at the Christmas Conference of 1923/24, it is a powerful and penetrating meditative text which many consider to be a key to the spiritual mysteries of our time.

WEEKLY MEDITATIONS

Rudolf Steiner's 'Calendar of the Soul' with accompanying reflections by Patsy Scala

When asked how one might find a way into Christianity, the Benedictine monk Brother David Steindl-Rast advised, "Meditate the sacred year". In the same vein, when asked what a lifetime's study of Anthroposophy had given him, the English philosopher Owen Barfield replied, "I now have some idea of the reality of the living year". For readers who like to chew meditatively on poetry, Weekly Meditations will put them firmly on the path to realising both of these great realities.
