She also taught for a decade in the Waldorf Education Training Program. Since 1997, Christine has led seminars and conferences at Emerson College, at the Goetheanum, in Europe, Asia, and the US.

Synopsis of the Presentation
In the Prologue to the Gospel according to John, we hear how the Logos has entered the realm of Earth and Mankind and became human. In the words of Rudolf Steiner, “If we do not interpret with too much artificiality, then we must say that according to this document a Principle of the highest order at one time incarnated in human flesh” (18 May, 1908, Hamburg, CW 103).

This Principle, the Logos has set up his tent among us as a dwelling for the “I”. What in human being represents the potential to speak and to create is the manifestation of the Logos in the human being. But this dwelling place of the Logos – the human “I” – is not the “I” with which we enter life on earth. It is the “I” we develop on the path of self-knowledge – the True “I” – with which we invite Christ in us when we utter “Not I, but Christ in me”.
