From Council Meetings March 3 to 5, 2017 Thornhill and Toronto
When we meet as a Council, we divide our time between business agenda items, study, working artistically t
ogether and meeting with
members.
At our recent Council meetings, we were able to take time to build our group, which is a new constellation of people working together. We did this through sharing what we individually carry, through developing our council imagination, and doing an artistic process together. It was important to take the time
to do this, to find our common ground, and to work as a whole.
Here are some of the questions, and impulses we are carrying, arising from our work together.
What are the practices and processes that allow us to work together individually and collectively at a deeper level?
What is it that wants to be brought frm the conventional world into the anthroposophical world?
What is the calling of the Council?
What is the task of Canada in the world? In what way can the society and members bring something towards what is happening in Canada? What is the homeopathic gesture we can bring? Where are the people with the same questions and how can we work with them?
How can we do in a healthy way, what from our hearts we would found?
How can we come together with
o agenda and discover the agenda? How can we connect with the membership and be a living image for them of their own striving and activities? How can we listen and bring back to our circle what is living in the will of members?
What is our common intent?
We are at the moment planning for the next 6 years, for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the General Anthroposophical Society, which will take place in 2023. In the past, people came from Europe who carried anthroposophy. What would be the anthroposophical gesture in Canada out of the Canadian impulse? How do we keep the thread, but not be caught too much in the past? In 6 years we want to bring the culmination of what is living in us, in the members, in the Society.
What needs to happen over the next 6 years that we can celebrate in 2023?
What is our collective imagination in 6 years?
What is the spiritual soul of Canada that wants to emerge?
What is our relationship to the First Nations? How do we carry the impulse of healing?
We invite you the members to share with us, questions that you are living with.
