Recognizing the true: “All human inquiry must proceed from amazement.” (Rudolf Steiner).
August 24 to 30, 2025. With Michael Dackweiler, Jacek Cieńciała and Angelika Steinle.
Our quick perception and thinking in everyday life constantly deceive us: I have perceived and understood something, I now know what it is and can hurry on to the next object. Ordinary thinking leads to judgments and stands in our way of perceiving and recognizing things and people in their essence. But how do we arrive at real knowledge, at recognizing what is true?
In the lectures “The World of the Senses and the World of the Spirit” (GA 134), Rudolf Steiner describes four steps that open the path to reality for the soul:
- Amazement
- Worship
- Feeling in harmony
- Surrender to the course of the world
If we bring these qualities to life within us, the being that opposes us can open up, reveal itself and speak its secrets. Steiner speaks of allowing ourselves to be taught by reality: “Surrender is precisely that state of soul which (…) expects all truth from the revelation that flows from things, and which can wait until it is ripe to receive this or that revelation.” Together and individually we practise this path.
Mode of operation
Content-related impulses, text work, exchanges in small groups and in plenary sessions alternate and are enriched by eurythmy and in-depth observations of nature.
The island offers us numerous opportunities to marvel, worship, feel in harmony and surrender!
The seminar will be led by Centro employees:
Michael Dackweiler, social therapist, seminar leader and coach
Angelika Steinle, artist and art therapist
Jacek Cieńciała, eurythmist and eurythmy therapist
