Course Description
Amidst the many activities and experiences of life, our senses can be saturated, resulting for some in a disconnection from our embodied reality. Looking to a holistic view of the human senses, moving beyond 5, 6 or 7 senses, we will explore the mystery of 12. The 12 senses as introduced by Dr. Rudolf Steiner in 1916, are the senses of touch, life, movement, balance, smell, taste, sight, warmth, hearing, speech, thinking, and the sense of the I.
In each of these 12 sessions we will explore one sense by opening a warm soul space between us through guided self reflection, observation practices, speaking and listening to self and others, creating simple gestures in visual art, and being guided in individual and group poetry writing.
