This workshop is dedicated to Rudolf Steiner’s work on karma, by using one of the karma exercises he gave at the end of his life. We will explore a series of incarnations cited by Rudolf Steiner in 1910 in Occult History and in 1924 in Karmic Relationships, Vol. II. After the presentation of these incarnations there will be a conversation with all participants using the Saturn, Sun, and Moon exercise in which we try to experience for ourselves the connection between these incarnations and something of the true impulses of this individuality.

This is the fourth workshop on this theme.  Chris will continue to work with us on the subject of luster and image colors.  “One who, through a long period of soul-culture no longer considers as dogma but as experience what Dr. Steiner has said in his color lectures about ‘lustre’ and ‘image’ colors will see in this turning of luster into image and of image into luster, a priestly, redeeming act for the earth – a transformation.”     ~ Maria Voloschin
