Theme for the year is a continuation of the 2020 theme:
What key unlocks meaning in every aspect of life?
Module 1: Unlocking the Open Secret - The Basics ...
...through the development of the human being in utero and what this reveals
We explored the path of embryology in reference to the process of creation, following Genesis Chapters 1 to 4.
In 2020 we began a process of applying Goethean observation (a perspective that uses an ancient method that has been systematized over the centuries, and now is infused with a spiritual scientific insight inspired by Goethe’s natural science) to various aspects of life on earth. This module allowed us to continue this work and to apply it to the developing human being at a time of new earthly beginnings: embryology.
We used artistic activities to further our insights and help us to deepen an appreciation for recapitulation, neoteny, gender development and soul expression. This advanced our perspective on the working of the Divine in human nature. Our image and likeness is a reflection of the Divine. This module brought us closer to understanding the significance of this reality.

Module 2: Unlocking the Open Secret - The Basics ...
...through reading in the book of the plant world about life, growth and metamorphosis.
It is to Goethe’s credit that he developed a scientific method of observation which develops an ability to observe the formative forces underlying the world of plants and which bind all plants into a meaningful totality. Goethe’s research showed him that “every process in nature rightly observed, wakens in us a new organ of cognition.”
In the different botanical studies we will be undertaking during this module we will endeavour to stimulate a perceptual and conceptual comprehension of life in nature. We will discover the twelve-fold signature of life in the form-world of plants as a dynamic element and following Rudolf Steiner’s indications acquire a comprehensive overview of the twelve plant groups at hand of the cosmic influences of the Zodiac. The Divine expression in creation will thus be explored and considered.

...through animal life as the expression of movement and feeling.
It is to Goethe’s credit that he developed a scientific method of observation which develops an ability to observe the formative forces underlying the world of plants and which bind all plants into a meaningful totality. Goethe’s research showed him that “every process in nature rightly observed, awakens in us a new organ of cognition.” This method of observation is also applicable to the world of animals.
In the different zoological studies we will be undertaking during this module we will endeavour to stimulate a perceptual and conceptual comprehension of life in nature. We will discover the twelve-fold signature of life in the activity-world of animals as a dynamic element and following Rudolf Steiner’s indications acquire a comprehensive overview of the twelve animal groups at hand of the cosmic influences of the Zodiac. The Divine expression in creation was thus explored and considered.

Module 4: Unlocking the Open Secret - The Basics ...
...through human evolution and the development of consciousness that gives voice to human freedom.
This module will be considering the evolution of the human being: an anthropological study at hand of a Goethean Observation that brings the insights of Anthroposophy into focus.
