Contact details: Webpage: www.MMFarr.co.nz email: manawastudio@gmail.com mobile: 027 2484193 Studio: 100 Eastbourne Street East, Hastings, Living on the Pathway towards Death For these three sessions, we have invited people to contribute who have a variety of experience and expertise. Sunday, 25th August, at 5.00 p.m. (Note the time) FORUM with Anthroposophical nurses For the first of our three sessions, there will be a forum with Anthroposophical nurses who will talk of their experiences when working with people who are nearing death, and with their families and friends. If you have questions for consideration at this session, please email Bernie or Diana. There will be hot soup for everyone, followed by the nurses’ contribution. (A koha would be appreciated to help cover food costs) ***** Living on the Pathway towards Death - second session Sunday, 1st September at 3.00 p.m. (Note the starting time) "Drawing our Lives to a Close" - with Joce Freeman, “As an Anthroposophical nurse and a biography counselor, I have been interested in the meaning of illness and accidents. I have found that as one moves towards death, biography is a good reflective tool for the process of acceptance and for the preparation for dying. At this session, there will be an overview regarding the stream of what we brought with us and how we have transformed our meetings of self and world into stores for the future.” ***** Also: Caring for Others at the End of Life - Georgina helps people navigate life transitions, including end-of-life. Inspired by Nature and the wisdom of the mystics, she describes her work as ‘earth medicine for the soul’. Published author, artist, reiki master, plant medicine maker, and ordained interfaith minister, Georgina teaches internationally. Before returning to New Zealand in 2011, she worked in the arts, global conservation initiatives, and for the Royal Botanic Gardens of Kew. She founded her company Archeus in 2013 and is currently on a sabbatical from her coaching and guidance work while working on her next book. Following these talks, there will be cups of hot soup for everyone. ***** Living on the Pathway towards Death - third session Sunday, 8th September 3.00p.m. (Note the starting time) “When I Die” - with Kathryn Perks After we die, there are many important tasks that have to be carried out, usually by family members or friends. Kathryn Perks, who lives locally, is in touch with organizations and people in NZ who are involved with ideas and activities relating to end-of-life situations. Kathryn has produced a handbook called When I Die and already 2,000 copies have sold, which shows its importance. By collating and recording personal details now, we can make things easier for those who have to carry out all the necessary tasks that are to be fulfilled after a death. Kathryn will share her experiences and give us guidelines on what we can do now that will help others in the future. There will be time for discussions about Living on the Pathway towards Death, then conclude with cups of hot soup.

The course takes place over three weekends in early Sept, mid November and late February and will alternate between Hawkes Bay (Taruna) and Auckland. The eurythmy aspects will be taught by Helen Proctor, Richard Drexel and Jonathan White with teaching support from René de Monchy and Matthias Seidel. Please see the poster and registration file CE_REGISTRATION_4.docx If you have any questions please email Jonathan White at jw0213208502gmail.com With warmest winter’s greetings. Helen, Richard and Jonathan QUOTE "Myths, legends, religions are the various ways in which the highest truths have been passed on to the majority of humanity. This should continue, if it were sufficient. But it is no longer so. Humanity has now reached a stage of development in which a large part would lose all religion if the higher truths on which it is based were not proclaimed in such a form that even the sharpest mind can consider them valid. The religions are true, but the time has passed for many people when understanding was possible only through faith. And the number of people for whom this is true will increase with unprecedented rapidity in the near future. Those who really know the laws of human development know this. If the wisdoms underlying religious ideas were not openly proclaimed in a form that would stand up to perfect thought, then complete doubt and disbelief in the invisible world would soon arise. And a time when this were the case would be, in spite of all material culture, a time worse than barbarism. Anyone who knows the real conditions of human life knows that man can no more live without a relation to the invisible world than a plant can live without nourishing juices."
