Head, Heart, Hands

As a soul striving for freedom, I find comfort and space for inner growth studying here at Goetheanum. The structure of the program is very fitting - as it supports the time and space I need to reflect and experience things in an individual way.

I am grateful for having the possibility to study the anthroposophical books in our Zoom group, which always provides a welcoming atmosphere full of acceptance. The fact that we are only nine people in class allows us to discuss a lot of questions and take the time to share our personal stories.

The deep practise of thinking in the first hours of the day balanced by handcraft and art classes allow me to also calm down and take care of all the inundating feelings inside. On top of that, I am very pleased by all the time left after classes to follow my personal interests. Having time to be creative and pursue my hobbies is very important to me. Also, feeling connected to the beautiful nature and people around is definitely an amazing addition. It is a nice moment to live the difference between the perception of someone online and encountering each other live - as neighbours or roommates in the student house.

I am impressed by the committed input of all involved in the organization of the study, especially in such inconvenient times. I just started in January and I was not able to experience the time here at Goetheanum in all its well-known glory. But everything is working out so well - that I even forget it was not supposed to be this way.

I learned to cherish these calm, less active times regarding the “outer world” because I have the opportunity to go so much deeper inwardly. I can reconnect with myself and others on a deeper level as well. I see all this as a needed change of perspective - improving my practice of surrendering to and trusting the process, of living an authentic life, and acknowledging the balance in changing times.
