All of a Feather

The idiom "birds of a feather flock together" appears in literature at least as early as 1545 AD, but as a proverb and metaphor it likely goes back much farther in history.


It seems fitting to use Feathers for 

our newsletter that highlights events sponsored by other organizations.  It reminds us that there are other "flocks" worth getting to know, building relationships with, and learning from.

Near the end of his life, Rudolf Steiner wrote a series of essays that were collected into a book entitled, Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts. These essays summarize, in highly concentrated form, the whole of anthroposophy. Each essay ends with a short summary of its contents which are known as the “leading thoughts". The leading thoughts are mantras that can be used quite fruitfully for meditation.

Today, when so many people are struggling with fatigue, overwhelm, and burnout, the wise advice "rhythm replaces strength" holds great help! Rudolf Steiner shared this insight more than 100 years ago – we will see how modern research about sleep, temperature, activity, and even your microbiome, show how rhythms lie behind so many parts of our physiology and are vital for good health in both children and adults.​
