The Cosmic Opera: Esoteric Science and Biography

WITH SARAH PUTNAM, PhD

When Steiner lectured, on almost any topic, from human development, to Faust, or biodynamic farming, he frequently spoke of Old Saturn, Old Sun, and Old Moon. How can an understanding of them inform our work in biography? An expanded view of the universe and an expanded view of the human being go together, are inseparable. How these epochs are working on in us is a topic for Sarah Putnam’s research. After a description of these epochs as a great cosmic opera, we will research the echoes and melodies in our individual lives.

Please bring drawing paper (large format, if possible), as well as drawing materials (crayons, pastels, and/or colored pencils).
