Anatomy
This
is our Anatomy teacher Val Tayler. She also teaches
to the therapeutic eurythmy training.
And we learn ..... circus skill! This brings us our awareness of movement and body. She teaches us also Bothmer Gymnastics in her lesson.
We were totally enchanted by the beauty of the human bones. It is great that she let us touch, feel and experience of what's inside of us.
Powerful socket for our legs! Our three fold walking changed so much after our hip bone sessions.
And our wings! We also looked each other's shoulder blades while we do evolutionary sequence (consonants movement in eurythmy) taking our shirt off!

Physiology
"
Now, I want you to stop chatting. Let us bring some
respect and quietness before I show you the first
organ. Remember, our organs are usually hidden. We
can't see it. And it meant not to see it. These are
the secrets in us. Now we are revealing something
hidden. These are the spirits in us. Let us respect
them."
Silent fell amongst us.
Ohmmmm! We Gasped with its beauty. The colour and shape! This is how we dissected the kidney. "Imagine, when you meet somebody, inside this person, there is always this kidney there shining with its radiant beauty. Doesn't it make our fellow men very special?"
Our Physiology teacher is Dr. James Dyson, who is an anthroposophycal doctor, and he is an inspiration! We are so grateful to have this opportunity to dissect cow's organs with him.
Young farmer passed by and he was also fascinated with what we were doing, so he joined in. Look how serious we are!
"In lungs, we always overcoming death by breathing in. Death and life mingles in here. Look at the bronchuial tubes. Doesn't it remind you something? Aren't they look and feels like a dragon? Can you imagine we are always overcoming this dragon in us?"

Planets and Trees
It is
very special to have our eurythmy teacher Jonathan
telling us about the trees and their planetary
relationship. Because he came to Botton for the first
time as a forester when he was very very young and
there are some trees that he himself planted! See his
enthusiasm about the trees?
And we are lucky to live in the ideal place to learn about trees. Jupiter is making that tree round!
As soon as we imagined the planets' influence on the trees, we felt our stary heaven came down on earth, and very special awe rose up in us so as to say we were all united. We walked in silence for a while, one beautiful afternoon on this shadowy forest.

Art History
Our
most gentle, warm and charming Art history teacher
Boris Moscoff who is our guide to tell us all how
human changed the consciousness and its witness
expressed in art. He comes two times a year and take
us the journey from cave painting to modern times. At
the end of the training you are a real friend of him!
He also lives with people with special needs in Isle
of Wight and running the bed and breakfast with great
art studio!
All the art works you see here were achieved by Camphill eurythmy school students in his course.
The cave painting- we experienced the size, how it is to be done with group of people painting together, using fingers and hands as well!
Experience of early greek sculpture. We were blessed by the sunshine of one week outside activity! The result
is phenomenon!
BIG SMILE; achievement!
Now those sculptures are watching over our eurythmy practice...
Beautiful Goddess looking very serene and peaceful in front of our eurythmy studio.
Early and late greek sculpture. Pastels on paper.
Icon painting. It was great to experience real egg tempera on wood board. He would tell us how quickly you have to paint it as media dries quickly and also transparent. He also told us the passion of how to preserve the colours, how to create vibrant colours out of natural materials.
Moved on to Renaissance. Oil on canvas allow you to do what you couldn't do before. Individual consciousness is born in man. Portrait starts to appear in these time. "Portrait of Bindo Altoviti" after Raphael.
In Baroque time, the intimacy of people starts to appear in paintings. Light and darkness is a theme of time. Pastels on paper. "Four ages of men" after Titian.
While master Rembrandt penetrate into light and darknes, in music appears major and minor!
Time moves on to expressionism.
Now it is time to experience Steiner's art, planetary seals. A gardener has joined us which is lovely. We are a very good colleague as we both work with the etheric world!
Beautiful Venus is emerging. Now this sculpture sits in the forest somewhere special in Botton. No one knows where except her!
Jupiter was very slowly in coming, day and night with midges bites and some lunch skipping...
