Our life has settled into new rhythms in our home base in the beautiful city of Canberra.
We continue to work online with our Trainees, Mentees and Tutors in India, Thailand, Taiwan, Germany and Australia.
Congratulations to the 18 Steiner Education students from Sydney Rudolf Steiner College who have successfully completed our Introductory Course.
Our 17 new Trainees from around the world have started their Online Training Program, and have completed their first Module, Typologies. It is now available as a Learning Pack for you to purchase.

Our first 3-year Online Training Program has started

17 Trainees have started our first online training and are completing 4 Modules this year plus their first Project.

We have welcomed these Trainees from USA, UK, Slovenia, South Africa, India, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand. They are working toward a Certificate in Biographical Consultancy.

With such diverse backgrounds amongst our group members, our sharing is a rich experience for Trainees and Tutors alike. Our common language for learning is English. But with 5 Mandarin speakers in the group, there are additional tutorials in Mandarin!

Here is an experience of the Course as described by one of our Trainees, M.K. from Slovenia:
I'm so happy that I decided to join the Training Program. I was amazed by the Study guide - all the knowledge I've got through studying it, the exercises, the drawings. I love our small study groups and having a feeling of being connected with people around the globe. I can hardly wait for a new module to start.

And this is from E.S. from the Philippines:
Only you, hold the key to unlock the mystery of your life. The Holistic Biography Work Training Program is an empowering journey of self-discovery.  It invites you to understand your life story, through their comprehensive, well-researched and creatively crafted resource materials, polished over the years through experience. It offers a wide variety of interconnected artistic activities that will develop and sharpen your capacity for heightened awareness of what is essential and non-essential. A deep dive into the past, gives you a better sense of the present, and provides an anchor for your future choices.

We are now receiving expressions of interest for a new intake at the end of 2021, to start studies in 2022. Enrol for your Foundation Course now.

A Sacred Suite - verses set to music
Laura Summerfield

We are sharing a simple audio file, with both of us singing one of Steiner's verses that Laura has set to music. Recorded acapella with joy in our bathroom. Learning and singing this is recommended as a way to energise the will!
Here are the words:
Victorious Spirit, victorious Spirit,
Blaze through the powerlessness of timid souls.
Burn out self-seeking, ignite compassion,
So that selflessness, the life-stream of Humanity,
May well up as the source of Spirit re-birth.
