The Michael Letter 2021
The Michael letters are short concise texts by Rudolf Steiner that he wrote during the last year of his life. The chapter „From Nature to Sub-nature“ deals with a key question in the development of consciousness: how can we find a relationship to technology and materialism without becoming unfree? In three sessions that build on each other, Petra Derkzen, Jakob Bergsma and Johanna Lamprecht will approach this question through exercises, lectures and work in small groups. Participants will be invited to enter into a discussion involving the social, artistic and ecological aspects and to find how we can now develop a good relationship to ourselves and to the cosmos.
