a seven week interactive online course
offered by Lelan Harris
The Executive Director of Wise Cosmos, Lelan Harris, is offering a seven week interactive course online via Zoom to dive deep into the healing and transformational possibilities inherent within the Lord's Prayer.

The Main Thing: Explore the correspondences between Rudolf Steiner’s Main Exercise, Morning Verse, and Most Important Prayer.
Rhythm and Petition: Work with the Daily Rhythms of the Foundation Stone in harmony with the Seven Petitions of the Lord's Prayer.
Deliver Us From Evil: Discover how our ego/I is the "pivot point" for successfully working with the Lord's Prayer to experience healing and transformation.
The Lord's Prayer and Sacred Geometry: Embody the Lord's Prayer through triangle, square, circle, lemniscate, and star movements.
"What Ails Thee?": The Lord's Prayer as a practical tool for both diagnosing and healing our physical body, etheric body, astral body, and ego/I.
Never Again Trespass Another Person or Feel Trespassed Against: Learn the fifth petition path from mirroring to empathy to compassion.
The Lord's Prayer and Chakras: Cleansing, healing, transforming, and purifying.
Complete details, dates, and registration information will be coming soon.

| | | Introduction to The Lord's Prayer by Brian Gray presented at FRAC April 24, 2020
Brian Gray, retired director of the Foundations in Anthroposophy program at Rudolf Steiner College, recently offered an inspiring online presentation. He introduced many of the esoteric elements that Rudolf Steiner expounded upon in a series of lectures dedicated to the topic of the Lord's Prayer. The presentation was hosted by the Front Range Anthroposophical Café (FRAC), which graciously provided us with a link to the recording of the presentation (see below).
In response to the exceptional interest and requests of participants, Brian and the Wise Cosmos team compiled these additional resources to accompany the recording:
-- Screenshots from the presentation
-- Lord's Prayer interpretation given by Rudolf Steiner to Helen Hecker
-- The Lord's Prayer and a Baby -
A Rudolf Steiner Story

| Our Senses as Doors to Realities: Portals or Idiosyncrasies? by David Tresemer presented at FRAC May 1, 2020
David Tresemer, Ph.D. has been a lifelong student of anthroposophy and psychology. He co-created the StarHouse in Boulder, Colorado, as well as co-founded the Association for Anthroposophic Psychology. He is the co-author and editor of several books including The Counselor...As If Soul and Spirit Matter and Star Wisdom & Rudolf Steiner.
David's presentation hosted by the Front Range Anthroposophical Café (FRAC) provided an introduction to the 12 human senses, then focused on going deeper into our understanding and experience of sound and hearing.
For those interested in the 12 senses, Wise Cosmos recommends a full length lecture in which David presents an overview of Rudolf Steiner's entirely new views. David then offers an in-depth analysis of the sense of smell – providing a scientific description, including much that was not previously known about how smell works, and then approaching smell as a pathway to spiritual development. |
