Theme of the Year 2006:

A Path to the Development of Heart Thinking

Last year we turned our attention from the larger, outer aspect of thinking (theme of the year for 2004/05: cosmic intelligence) to the inner expansion of thinking, when the life of feeling and thinking unite in such a way that “hearts begin to have thoughts.”

Theme of the Year 2007/08:

Paths to Thinking of the Heart through Meditative and Artistic Practice

Over the past two years, work on developmental paths to thinking of the heart has brought together large areas of the Anthroposophical Society. We would like to continue this effort during 2007 with an emphasis on meditative and artistic practice.

Theme of the Year 2008:

Practices Leading to a Culture of the Heart

Rudolf Steiner's suggestions for practice often begin with a sensory observation or thought content; the practitioner should devote himself to these with the greatest attention and concentration. Then comes the task of accompanying what happens in this context with the corresponding feeling in order to change what is known into an experience — and doing this in a daily rhythm.

How can we accomplish this? How can I choose to create a situation where a corresponding feeling arises? Anyone who tries it soon notices that the feelings we are seeking are not so easily accessible, and they are particularly hard to bring up when we try to repeat them. A strong effort is needed (together with imagination) in order to discover something new in the familiar, something that can echo in our life of feeling.
