As someone who’s put themselves forward to teach Steiner’s 6 Fundamental Exercises (and other spiritual stuff) over the years, you’d think I would do them. And I do. Sometimes. And then life happens - either in my mind or in reality - and I fall off the horse (and land on a rodeo bull). I then end up being a bloke *thinking about* regularly practising Rudolf Steiner's Six Fundamental Exercises (while riding a bull) instead of ACTUALLY doing them. Can you relate or are you a very annoying perfect meditator? (If you are, do the right thing help the rest of us will ya??!!). Anyway, rather than waiting until I'm "back on top of everything" (which, like some self-created, well meant but illusory mental-state, never seems to occur for me), I've decided to begin again. But this time, if you’re up for it, I'd really like some company. So, over the course of five consecutive days (starting Sunday 5th July - ending Thurs 9th) we’ll explore these simple (and sometimes boring-yet-profound) exercises together. Not as perfect Steiner people with flowing garments and serious faces. Not as super-arch-angels. Just as ordinary, everyday spiritual losers (forgive me!) attempting to remember that we're actually capable of paying attention for more than 3 consecutive seconds (potentially, at least). In the past, I have actually had times where I’ve practiced these exercises “religiously” and they really did help me to: - Focus and have more sway over what I was thinking - Feel more emotionally balanced - Strengthen my will - See more of the good in every situation and person - Be more open-minded and less judgemental  …and that’s just the earth-bound effects. They are crucial to a healthy soul life, especially if/when we begin to have spiritual experiences which can really throw us off course. Who’s in? It’s free but it will (full disclosure) eventually be a (cheap) paid thing. We start this Sunday 5th July at 5pm (London time) Here's the link to join https://www.skool.com/live/pqrS4ws68dd

Good morning, years ago I lived and worked in Camphill Beanachar in Aberdeen. At the garden gate was hanging a small picture with a verse, I would read it before entering the large walled garden through the cast iron gate. “ The kiss of the sun for pardon. The song of the birds for myrrh. One is nearer Gods heart in a garden. Than anywhere else on Earth. “ Have a wonderful Spring, greeting from sunny Ireland. Bastiaan.

Thank you to everyone who joined for the coffee and chat today (although I think I was the only one drinking coffee?!). We're going to do it again at the same time next Friday 27th Feb at 4pm London, 11am EST (US). We talked about spiritual initiation in the past and today, kundalini experiences, new age spirituality, science and much else. If you were there, please feel free to post something about it to let others know your experience. Warm wishes Mick

Hi all, A few people on this platform are doing these impromptu "coffee and questions sessions". It's just like jumping on a zoom call (with or without a hot drink!) and having an informal chat about spiritual matters. Just wanted to find out if that was something you'd be interested in? (just while I'm still getting this 6 week challenge organised). If so, what time of day works for you? Please Let me know what time zone you're in. Thank you! Mick

Hi everyone, I'm looking to run 6 week, Spiritual Development Support Sessions in the New Year, with an emphasis on Rudolf Steiner's 6 exercises for helping us to get control of our own thinking, harmonise our emotions and strengthen the will. Please let me know in the comments if this is something that would interest you. Thank you! Warm wishes Mick
