Ascension and Whitsun 2025 - A Crown of Virtues

Dear Members and Friends, we are pleased to host poet, author, and artist Peter Bruckner for an online event Friday, May 23, 2025, to help us prepare for the triumphant fulfillment of Spring that happens each year with Ascension and Whitsunday. During this season 101 years ago, in 1924, when the dates of Easter, Ascension, and Whitsunday corresponded to the same as here in 2025, Rudolf Steiner brought the Leading Thoughts #41-49, which describe the forces of destiny in human life. Our coming together for this online presentation and activity is designed to engage with these Leading Thoughts as contemplative exercise, through artistic activity, and in community. Our 90-minute online gathering will include eurythmy, Peter's presentation, then your choice of one of these activity-based break-out sessions (20 minutes each):

• Biography work with Linda Bergh, Jennifer Fox, and Sandra LeGrega
• Eurythmy with Mary Ruud
• Making crowns 
• Finding the story in this season's the star picture with Mary Stewart Adams

Friday, May 23, from 12:30 ET/9:30 PT: On-line via Zoom (credentials sent with registration confirmation) --- Tickets: $25 / $15 Youth & Equity 

This event is designed as a way to prepare for Ascension (May 29) and Whitsunday (June 8). Participants are encouraged to access the resources in the participant portal, where there are references for study, recordings of essential Whitsun lectures, and a list of simple materials to have at hand for the artistic activity during the online event. Event will be recorded. More ...
