Currently I am doing research on some early renaissance gobelins: The lady with the unicorn. These gobelins describe an inner path through six stages, and correspond with what I understand is a modern way of meditation: Developing higher senses in balance with the physical senses; thus supporting each other.

The significance of mediation inspired by anthroposophy is the recognizing of the importance of our belonging to the world ad the possibility to develop spiritual skills enabling to dive deeper and connect stronger with this life and all its challenges.

In the conference I will contribute on the topic of «I am not only I» together with Regula Nilo. We have found a Norwegian poem that has four steps suiting perfect for the inner path: From asking, to deepening, to awakening and closing with the contributing. Moving this also in Eurythmy will bring us into a stronger and warmer soulexperience.

Elizabeth Wirsching will be part of the workgroup <I am not only I>
