| | | All of a Feather
The idiom "birds of a feather flock together" appears in literature at least as far back as 1545 AD, but as a proverb and metaphor it likely goes back much farther in history. Using "all of a feather" as the name for our newsletter highlighting events sponsored by other organizations seems fitting. It reminds us that there are other "flocks" worth getting to know, building relationships with, and learning from. |

| | Star Wisdom and Technology Individual Creativity & the Future of Culture
Presenters: Brian Gray, David Tresemer, and Robert Schiappacasse
This course explores the forces behind the rise of technology and how human culture has been impacted. We will follow the mythic story of Cain and Abel. Cain the practical one influenced technology, while Abel the dreamer was closer to Divinity. How their streams intertwine through history will be examined. We will explore these concepts through architecture, the rise of scientific discovery, and through the insights and voices of those confronting the trends of contemporary human culture.
Four Sessions
September 30 – Temple Architecture: Shaping the Human Archetype Through History
October 7 – The Fall of Spirits of Darkness and the Rise of Science and Technology
October 21 – From Science to Spiritual Science: Rudolf Steiner, the Renewal of Temple Architecture, and a Path of Meditation Envisioning Our Human Future
