Eurythmy for Beginners
A series of workshops by Eurythmy teacher Simone Hamblett
Wondering what the children in a Steiner school get to experience each week? The workshop "Eurythmy for Beginners" brings a unique opportunity for parents, teachers, and caregivers to enjoy the experience of Eurythmy first hand. Saturday 20 March 9.30am – 11am Thursday 25 March 7.30 – 9pm Thursday 15 April 7.30 – 9pm Saturday 17 April 9.30 – 11am For parents & caregivers of children in Kindergarten to Class 12 |
"Eurythmy for Beginners" will offer basic Eurythmy exercises to strengthen ourselves inwardly in the context of our time. The movements will open the possibility of sensing so-called “life currents” which can aid in our daily lives when facing challenges.
Eurythmy invites to be inwardly active in order to receive the nourishing forces which stem from the artistic engagement with sounds, words, poetry, rhythm.
“All things spread their wings, revealing the chamber of their heart...”
Eurythmy acknowledges that we are a spiritual being and that it matters how and what we think, feel and do (move).
"I have been teaching Eurythmy for 25 years to children and adults around NZ, but of course, mainly in the ChCh R. Steiner School. I also work as a Eurythmy therapist in our school and at Helios medical centre.
Eurythmy is a relatively new movement art form, which is in its nature rhythmical to stimulate depleted “etheric forces”. In alignment with the creative forces of speech these movements reveal their healing effects in aiming to harmonize our 3-fold-organisation of body, soul and spirit.
Since the “lockdown” last year I had started a zoom Eurythmy class for the very first time and since then more people have joined from other parts of the world. It was originally intended only for a small Adult Eurythmy group from our school community.
In recent times I have participated as a tutor for Eurythmy in the online Anthroposophical conference in India, called “One Health” and have held a zoom class with interested people in China. Realizing the interest and need of our time for such a healing modality I like to offer a course again closer to home, namely to our own community, for parents and teachers.
For me personally, Eurythmy has become a tool to build inner strength and protection as well as becoming aware of our co-creating within the wider “field” around us.
I am working in alignment with the recommendations of the Anthroposophical Medical section in Dornach and support impulses for the strengthening of what it means to be and become more human." Simone Hamblett
