Tom Petherick
Photography by Will Heap
Biodynamics in Practice
Life on a a Community Owned Farm

Impressions of Tablehurst and Plaw Hatch,

Sussex, England

‘Biodynamics seeks the holistic and interrelated health of the diverse creatures and beings composing
a farm, including human beings and the wider, surrounding community. It is not just a “method” but a
whole approach to life—one which could have far-reaching benefits for the health of the soil, plants,
animals and human beings across the globe...’

Born from a series of eight lectures delivered by scientist and philosopher Rudolf Steiner in 1924, the
movement for biodynamic agriculture today encompasses many hundreds of farms and millions of
consumers worldwide. Much has been written about biodynamics’ unique perspectives on farming, nutrition,
the world of nature and the wider cosmos. But how does it work in practice? What is it like to run a farm
based on its principles?

England’s Tablehurst and Plaw Hatch farms form a co-operative venture in which the local community plays
a crucial role. As successful, commercial enterprises with high outputs, they have a growing reputation for
the excellence of their produce. Through interviews, commentary and dozens of full colour photos,
Biodynamics in Practice gives a guided tour of the farms from the viewpoint of a sympathetic visitor. It
illustrates how biodynamic farms work, how they differ from conventional and organic farms, and why that
difference is important. In short and accessible vignettes, the book looks at many aspects of farm life,
including animal rearing and welfare—cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry—crop growth, dairy and
cheesemaking, and even bee-keeping and caring for people with special needs. It also gives an introduction
to biodynamics itself and brief histories of both farms.

Farms are sometimes regarded simply as food-producing factories, but this book shows that they can be
much more, offering spiritually-sustaining focal points of community cohesion and participation.

TOM PETHERICK has worked variously as a jockey, a horticulturalist and an author. He has written
two books about the Lost Gardens of Heligan and a further book on organic smallholding, and
has presented a series of DVDs on horticulture. In 2009 Tom joined the biodynamic and organic
certification body Demeter as a farm inspector. He lives with his family in Dartington, Devon, on a
small farm.

Hartmut Warm
Signature of the
Celestial Spheres
Discovering Order in
the Solar System

‘A milestone in modern research on the harmony of

the spheres.’ – Novalis magazine

Is the solar system ordered, or is it simply the result

of random and chaotic accidents? This book takes us
on a powerful and compelling journey of discovery,
revealing the celestial spheres’ astonishingly complex
patterns. The movements of the planets are found to
correspond accurately with simple geometric figures
and musical intervals, pointing to an exciting new
perspective on the ancient idea of a ‘harmony of the
spheres’.

Hartmut Warm’s detailed presentation incorporates

the distances, velocities and periods of
conjunction of the planets, as well as the rotations of the Sun, Moon and Venus. Numerous
graphics – including colour plates – illustrate the extraordinary beauty of the geometrical forms
that result when the movements of several planets are viewed in relation to one another. In addition,
the author describes and analyses the concepts of the ‘music of the spheres’, with special
consideration given to Johannes Kepler’s revolutionary ideas. Current scientific beliefs about the
origin of the universe and the solar system are explained, enabling the reader to understand fully
how Warm’s remarkable research supplements contemporary materialistic views of the cosmos. An
appendix includes his mathematical and astronomical methods of calculation as well as detailed
discussion of their accuracy and validity based on modern astronomical algorithms.

HARTMUT WARM, born 1956, is a civil engineer and independent researcher in astronomy,
geometry, the history of harmonics and musical aesthetics. He has taught, lectured and
published widely on these and other subjects, and in particular on his discoveries relating to
the solar system and its inherent order. He lives in Hamburg, Germany.

Energizing Water
Flowform Technology
and the Power of Nature
The poor quality of water, as well as its
restricted supply and availability, is one of the
biggest challenges of our time, with presently
two-fifth’s of the world’s population unable to find
adequate fresh water for essential usage.

Over 40 years’ research has been carried out

on the positive effects that rhythms and specific
water flow has on water’s capacity to support life.
Energizing Water presents this cutting-edge
research to the general and professional reader at
a time when interest in finding solutions to water’s
huge worldwide problems is growing rapidly.

Three aspects determine water quality: its chemical constituents (including its oxygen levels); its
organic aspects (with the danger of contamination by effluent, pathogens and algae); and its
‘energetic’ nature. The latter facet has been recognized from time immemorial by traditional
societies, who have developed their own sciences in relation to water quality, using terms such as
prana and chi for energy. Now, through the introduction of quantum physics into the life sciences,
modern science is beginning to accept this concept, measuring energy as light emission.

Research into energetic water quality—and particularly into the creation of moulded surfaces that
support biological purification of the chemical and organic elements, as well as enlivening the
energetic attributes—goes back to George Adams’ and John Wilkes’ pioneering work in the 1960s.
The invention of Flowform technology in 1970 carried this research further, providing the world with
one of the first modern-day, biomimicry eco-technologies. This creative technology applies nature’s
best methods to produce extraordinary results, and this book outlines the background story on
research and application of the Flowform method today.
JOHN WILKES originated the Flowform Method in 1970 following periods of work with
George Adams and Theodor Schwenk. After further research, project work led to installa-
tions in many countries. In 2002 an Institute was built at Emerson College providing more
adequate space for research into the qualitative effects of rhythmic movement on water.

JOCHEN SCHWUCHOW is a freelance research and teaching consultant at Emerson

College in England.

IAIN TROUSDELL is director of the Healing Water Institute in NZ.

Rudolf Steiner
The Mysteries of
the Holy Grail
From Arthur and Parzival
to Modern Initiation

From the ancient British tales of King Arthur and

his knights through the medieval Central European
sagas of Parzival, right up to modern-day blockbuster
novels and films, the Grail has long maintained its
enigmatic presence in western culture. It is said to
be many things: a lost and priceless treasure, the
chalice cup of the Last Supper, the cup that caught
Jesus Christ’s blood from the cross on Golgotha, or
even a secret royal bloodline...

Basing his presentations on far-reaching spiritual

research, Rudolf Steiner gave profoundly esoteric,
multifaceted insights into the mysteries of the Holy
Grail. Collected together for the first time in a single volume, together with commentary and notes,
these passages offer vivid tableaux with a multiplicity of meanings: a story that speaks to the human
soul with a depth and complexity that intellectual interpretations alone cannot begin to fathom.

Just as Parzival had to encounter and engage with veils of illusion and valleys of shadow and doubt,
Rudolf Steiner presents us with a similarly challenging path. This book is more than a treasure of
thought and insight: it invites us to embark on a personal quest to develop the abilities and vision
required for grasping the elusive Grail itself. As editor Matthew Barton writes: ‘The vessel of the Grail
gradually descends towards us and comes into focus as we raise ourselves individually to it by
piercing through the illusions of materialism, acknowledging that we ourselves can ultimately
become true vessels for the spirit.’

Rudolf Steiner
Six Steps in Self-Development
The ‘Supplementary Exercises’

The so-called ‘supplementary exercises’—to be carried out alongside the

‘review exercises’ and meditation—are integral to the path of personal
development presented by Rudolf Steiner. Together they form a means of
experiencing the spiritual realm in full consciousness. Meditation enlivens
thinking, the review exercises cultivate the will, whilst the supplementary
exercises educate and balance feeling. Conscientiously practised, this path
of self-knowledge and development has the effect of opening a source of
inner strength and psychological health that soon make themselves felt in daily life.

In six stages these exercises enable the practise of qualities that can be summarized as: control of
thoughts, initiative of will, equanimity, positivity, open-mindedness and equilibrium of soul. When
carried out regularly, they balance possible harmful effects of meditative practice and bring inner
certainty and security to the soul. They are also of inestimable value in their own right due to their
beneficial and wholesome effect on daily life.

In this invaluable small book, the editor has drawn together virtually all Rudolf Steiner’s statements
on the supplementary exercises, supporting them with commentary and notes. With a chapter
devoted to each exercise, they are described in detail and from different perspectives.

Rudolf Steiner
Strengthening the Will
The ‘Review Exercises’

The review exercises bring the experiences of our daily lives to full
awareness. By directing our attentive gaze to what has happened –
whether in a single day or in whole phases of life – we kindle light in
our will. Undertaking such a review backwards, in reverse sequence, or
from an ‘external perspective’, requires a huge inner effort as we establish
distance between ourselves and our daily experiences.

In this essential handbook the editor has drawn together virtually all Rudolf Steiner’s statements on
the review exercises, supporting them with commentary and notes. Described from different
perspectives and approaches, there are a surprising range of suggestions for carrying them out.
Individual chapters focus on reviewing the day (transforming the power of memory); reviewing events
in your life (awakening the higher self); reviewing the other’s perspective (awakening social
impulses); exercises in thinking backwards (illuminating the will); and more.

Hans Hasler
The Goetheanum
A guided tour through the building,
its surroundings and its history

‘I first saw the Goetheanum as a fifteen-year-old through binoculars. I was fascinated and wanted to
know more about this incredible building. What am I seeing? Why these forms? What happens in this
building?’ —Hans Hasler

The Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland, was conceived as a visible expression of Rudolf Steiner’s
spiritual philosophy—a living experience of anthroposophy in the form of art. Whilst Steiner con-
veyed his ideas and concepts in many books and lectures, the Goetheanum—with its pioneering
concrete forms built in the 1920s—is a manifestation of spirituality in architecture, painting and
sculpture.

This essential handbook, packed with colour photos and illustrations, gives a broad background to
Rudolf Steiner’s architectural masterpiece and the work that goes on within it. Hasler explains how
the present Goetheanum was built, and describes its recently remodelled great hall and stage, with
its painted ceiling and sculpted walls. He details the building’s context and landscape design, the
other significant structures in its vicinity, and gives a description of the first, wooden, Goetheanum
and its destruction by fire.

Today the Goetheanum’s remarkable external contours house theatres and studios, laboratories,
offices and libraries. Apart from its major stages for drama and eurythmy, it serves as the head-
quarters of the Anthroposophical Society and the School of Spiritual Science, with the latter’s
sections for medicine, agriculture, education, the arts, science, and so on. The Goetheanum is also
home to numerous conferences, meetings and events. This book provides a marvellous visual and
textual guide to one of the most original buildings of our time.

HANS HASLER, born in Switzerland in 1942, studied Slavonic languages, history and educa-
tion, before becoming a school teacher. He was responsible for social therapy and educa-
tion for special needs in the Medical Section, and later managed the Goetheanum Building
Administration, where he oversaw redesign of the main auditorium. The present book is
based on his profound knowledge of the building and its surroundings, as well as his many
encounters through leading guided tours over the years.

The Representative
of Humanity
Between Lucifer and Ahriman

The Wooden Model at the Goetheanum

In conceiving his architectural masterpiece—the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland—Rudolf

Steiner designed a large wooden model, featuring three main figures, to be placed in a central
position inside the building. Known as ‘the Representative of Humanity’, this sculpture shows a
central, free-standing Christ holding a balance between the beings of Lucifer and Ahriman, who
represent polar tendencies of expansion and contraction. On New Year’s Eve 1922 the
Goetheanum was destroyed by fire, but the model—still in a process of creation and therefore
housed in an external studio—miraculously escaped the flames. It remains intact to this day in
the second Goetheanum, where it can be viewed by the public.

With numerous full colour photos and illustrations, The Representative of Humanity offers a vivid
introduction to this monumental, world-historic artwork. We follow the evolution of the statue
through the photographic documentation of many models created in its development: from six
smaller versions to a full-size plasticine construction. This latter model—also still on display—offers
an impressive insight into the artists’ detailed intentions, having been repeatedly revised by Rudolf
Steiner. It demonstrates the continual spiritual movement evident in the whole series of small models,
and the metamorphic processes which developed over an eight-year period.

The authors offer indications regarding the realm and content out of which the work arose, the
environment in which it is situated, and the artists who created it: Rudolf Steiner and the trained
sculptress Edith Maryon. They also examine the intentions behind a work of art that addresses the
destiny of the whole of mankind.

JOHN WILKES began restoration work on Steiner’s and Maryon’s sculptural and architec-
tural legacy in 1965. A large number of wax and plasticine models had been deteriorating
over the decades. Included was the nine-metre high, preparatory plasticine model required
for building the wooden sculpture in 1917.

JUDITH VON HALLE attended school in Germany and the USA and subsequently studied architec-
ture. She encountered anthroposophy in 1997, at which time she was running her own architectural
practice. She now works principally as a lecturer and author, having some 12 books in print.

Rudolf Steiner, read by Peter Bridgmont

Knowledge of the Higher Worlds
How is it Achieved?
Audio Book (CD box set), complete and unabridged

Rudolf Steiner’s fundamental handbook for spiritual and personal develop-

ment has grown more modern as time has passed, although his methods remain clearly
distinguishable from the many others now in circulation. Steiner’s path of spiritual growth is based
on the clarity of thought normally associated with scientific research. Rather than denying clear
thinking, his aim is to extend it beyond its present limitations. Steiner recognizes—as all genuine
disciplines always have—that the path to spiritual experience is an arduous and dangerous one,
calling for self-control in thought, word and deed. Human beings comprise a unity, and we cannot
develop knowledge without a corresponding development in feeling and will.

Knowledge of the Higher Worlds begins with the conditions required for personal development, and
guides us through the stages of initiation, its practical aspects and its effects.

Steve Briault
The Mystery of Meeting
Relationships as a Path of Discovery

‘Our relationships – with our family, colleagues, friends, lovers, partners – are
decisive factors in our lives. More than outer success, wealth or fame, they
make the difference between joy and sorrow, development and stagnation,
fulfilment and frustration. If we can navigate these thresholds with our eyes
open, relationships can become a path of initiation, taking us beyond our
self-centred isolation into new and inspiring worlds of experience.’

What really happens in relationships? Why do they affect us so deeply? Why do we long for a sense
of community yet so aggressively assert our individualism? What are the risks and benefits of
genuine human encounter? Drawing on far-reaching perspectives from psychology, philosophy,
management and economics, The Mystery of Meeting explores these questions from a unique
viewpoint, offering insight and guidance for developing healthy relationships. The author elaborates
powerful ways of working with the dynamics of relationships within personal, community and
business contexts. Encountering another person, he says, is a ‘threshold-experience’. Each individual
is an unknown world, and through meeting we are confronted with developmental challenges as well
as opportunities for profound personal development.

This stimulating book presents groundbreaking ideas for managers, professionals, educators, com-
municators, and anyone who wishes to improve everyday relationships.

Rudolf Steiner
Inner Experiences of Evolution

In this most remarkable and in many ways unique course of lectures, Rudolf
Steiner describes the inner experience of the states of consciousness known
as the Saturn, Sun, Moon and Earth stages of evolution.

Lecture by lecture, Steiner details the experiences of these states available to

one who practises the spiritual-scientific path of meditation. By this means,
these stages and states gain an unexpected and existential reality: suddenly,
we recognize what Steiner is communicating. Most remarkable of all,
perhaps, is the description of the Earth state with its experience of death,
which Christ knew on the Cross at Golgotha, transforming earthly and human evolution.

Inner Experiences of Evolution is a translation from German of Die Evolution vom Gesichtspunkte des
Wahrhaftigen (GA 132). These lectures were previously included as part of The Spiritual
Hierarchies & the Physical World: Reality and Illusion (1996). A previous translation also appeared as
Evolution in the Aspect of Realities (Garber).

Rudolf Steiner
What Is Necessary in
These Urgent Times

In early 1920, political, economic, social and spiritual chaos was
everywhere. The old world had fallen apart and would need to be rebuilt.
Anthroposophy, too, had to be remade. Recognizing this, Rudolf
Steiner worked tirelessly for the ‘threefold social order’, establishing the first
Waldorf school, helping to create businesses, and addressing the talented,
educated and idealistic young people who were beginning to turn toward
anthroposophy for answers.

In these lectures, Steiner speaks in the new, direct ‘Michaelic’ way, seeking the path to a new way
of working. He stresses that the task of spiritual science is to awaken us to reality and to a true
understanding of life that sees through illusions and understands the ever-present potential of evil.
Speaking both esoterically and exoterically, he returns repeatedly to the importance of community,
of meeting one another face-to-face, heart-to-heart, as individuals. Thus, rather than seeking power
and control, we are called to cultivate trust and receptivity.

What Is Necessary in These Urgent Times is a translation from German of Geisitige und soziale
Wandlungen in der Menschheitsentwikelung (GA 196).

Rudolf Steiner
Introducing Anthroposophical
Medicine
Taking account of modern medical knowledge and practice, and deeply
versed in alchemical, Paracelsian, and naturopathic approaches, as well
as homeopathy, aroma therapy, and other ‘alternative’ therapies, Steiner
demonstrates, on the basis of his own researches, how a truly integrated
whole-person medicine is possible—one that understands the human as a
being of body, soul, and spirit; a microcosm in the macrocosm, a mirror of
the earth and of the heavens.

Steiner’s enthusiasm and familiarity with his subject are in evidence everywhere in this volume. The
wealth of insights and the range of topics are staggering—from the meaning of sickness, polarities
in the human organism, and the relation of therapy and pathology, to the nature of plant, mineral
and animal in relation to the human being. Specific organs (heart, lungs, bladder, kidney, liver, and
nervous system) and specific diseases (including cancer, tuberculosis, diabetes and meningitis) are
brought into extraordinary new relationships and interconnections. The whole question of diagnosis,
health and treatment is repeatedly viewed from various points of view.

Rudolf Steiner

The Healing Process

Spirit, Nature & Our Bodies
In all his lectures to doctors and in his explanations of anthroposophic
medicine, Steiner emphasized that his medical concepts are not intended
to replace conventional Western medicine, but to extend it; diagnosis and
healing methods are expanded to include our soul and spirit.

In these broadly ranging talks, Steiner introduces fundamental principles

of anthroposophically-extended medicine. Some of the most remarkable
insights that anthroposophy brings to medicine are contained in this volume. For example, Steiner
points out that the heart is not a pump and that its motion is a consequence, not the cause, of rhythmic
movements in human beings.

Topics include: health problems, such as hay fever, migraine, sclerosis, cancer, tuberculosis, typhoid,
and childhood diseases; the polarity between nerve and liver cells; the functions of the spleen and
the gallbladder; the three basic processes of sensory-nervous system, rhythmic system, and
metabolic-limb system; regenerative and degenerative processes; the true nature of the nervous
system; and many suggestions for the use of minerals, plants, and artistic therapies in healing.

Rudolf Steiner
First Steps in
Christian Religious Renewal
Preparing the Ground for The Christian Community

The lectures and discussions presented here make up the first of the so-called
five Priest Courses. They record the first steps of the remarkable journey taken
in 1921 by a small group of dedicated souls who, out of their own inner
needs and guided by Rudolf Steiner, sought a path to Christian religious
renewal.

Addressing the group with warm intimacy, Steiner frames their task not
primarily in theological terms, but as a need for a renewing of ‘the religious’, or ‘the working of
the religious element as such’. For this, the sermon (or how we speak) is central, for today we must
use language in new ways. We cannot reopen the spiritual worlds by starting from ‘old conditions’.
Traditional religious life has become too corrupted, while modern culture has radically changed and
become divorced from tradition.

This volume is a translation from German of Vorträge und Kurse über christlich-religiöses Wirken, Bd.1,
Anthroposophische Grundlagen für ein erneuertes christlich-religiöses Wirken (GA 342).

Rudolf Steiner
From the History and Contents of the
First Section of the Esoteric School
1904–1914
Letters, Documents and Lectures
This volume is an important text for anyone interested in the
development of Rudolf Steiner’s teaching and for those wishing to explore the
advice and admonitions Steiner provided for his early esoteric students. This
collection of letters, circulars and lectures offers a glimpse of the birth of the
anthroposophic movement from the German section of the Theosophical
Society of the late nineteenth century. One gains a clear picture as to why
Steiner could no longer work within the theosophic framework, as well as the events that led to the
split between the Theosophical Society under the leadership of Annie Besant and the Esoteric School
under Steiner’s guidance and leadership.

Primarily in the form of letters, here are the specific exercises and advice that Steiner gave to pupils
who wished to further their spiritual capacities. Also included are his early lectures and teachings
concerning the ‘Masters’ and their relationship to human evolution.

Peter Selg
Rudolf Steiner as
a Spiritual Teacher
From recollections of those who knew him
For Peter Selg, if anthroposophy is to be a living reality, we must learn to
know and love Rudolf Steiner as he appeared to those who knew and loved
him: namely, as a spiritual teacher. To help us do so, he has gathered recol-
lections of those of who knew Steiner personally—historical witnesses to the
‘living phenomenon’ of the ‘figure of the teacher’. It is his hope that these
firsthand accounts will help readers see and experience the amazing, ever-
mysterious person that Rudolf Steiner was—a dynamic, energetic ‘dual citizen’ of both the spiritual
and the physical worlds.

Steiner moved constantly between these two realities, while his whole life was dedicated in service
to the spiritual evolution of humanity. Nonetheless, he was also deeply sociable and a true friend,
convivial, cheerful, humorous, and able to enjoy—and tell—a good joke. He was also austere and
painfully serious.

For anyone who has wondered what Rudolf Steiner was like, this book will open many windows.

Rudolf Steiner and the Fifth Gospel
Insights into a New Understanding of the Christ Mystery
Rudolf Steiner received the Fifth Gospel—unrecorded events from the
so-called lost years of the life of Jesus, obtained by grace and by
spiritual research into the akashic record—as a ‘sacred obligation’ to which he
experienced a deep sense of responsibility. However, he never finished the
project of unveiling it. Had he done so, not only anthroposophy but also
Christianity would have received an enormous spiritual gift: a concrete, soul-
filled description of the Mystery of Golgotha. His deeply moving and often
startling lectures in 1913 are thus fragmentary, giving the near-tragic impres-
sion that, because those who heard or read them did not take them up with
sufficient seriousness and inner dedication, humanity has suffered an inestimable loss.

In this dramatic book, Selg tells the story of those lectures. He recounts their background and many
of the most important episodes. He illumines and gives context to the excerpts with a profound yet
accessible commentary. Most important, he offers insights into their importance to both Steiner and
the hearts of those who heard and understood—even those who felt inadequate to the task.

Peter Selg
Unbornness
Human Pre-existence and the Journey toward Birth
As anyone who has had a child knows, newborns enter the earthly world as
beings different from their parents. They arrive with their own individuality,
being and history. From the beginning, they manifest an essential dignity and
a unique ‘I’, which they brought with them from the spiritual world.

It was one of Rudolf Steiner’s great gifts that he returned the concept of
unbornness to human consciousness and language. In this brief, stunning
and moving, almost poetic, work Peter Selg gathers the key elements and
images needed to begin an understanding of—and wonder at—the vast scope of our unbornness.
Drawing on and expanding Steiner’s work, as well as Raphael’s Sistine Madonna and the poems
of Nelly Sachs and Rainer Maria Rilke, Selg unveils this deepest mystery of human existence. After
reading it, one will never look at a child or another human being in the same way again.

Peter Selg
The Path of the Soul after Death
The Community of the Living and the Dead as Witnessed
by Rudolf Steiner in his Eulogies and Farewell Addresses
Rudolf Steiner saw relationships with the dead as the ‘religious
attitude of the future’, in the highest sense. Becoming comfortable with
thinking and speaking of the dead as concretely as we speak of the living
will profoundly affect human activity. To Steiner, the ‘enlivening’ and even the
‘sanctification’ of earthly existence are not merely connected directly with our
relationship to death and to the deceased; in fact, that relationship deepens
these qualities and makes them possible.

Steiner spoke frequently about death and the human soul’s

continued existence, as well as about the importance of
establishing a new kind of community that unites spiritually active human
souls that endure beyond death. Selg shows how Rudolf Steiner commemo-
rated the dead, the words he chose to use, and his descriptions—sometimes in great detail—of the
inner processes involved. The Path of the Soul after Death is an important addition to the body of
anthroposophic literature on our relationship on Earth to those who have died. Peter Selg does a great
service in gathering and amplifying much of what Steiner had to say on the subject.

Erik Berrevoets
Wisdom of the Bees
Principles for Biodynamic Beekeeping
‘The more you investigate these creatures and the manner in which they live,
the more you will come to the conclusion that there is a great intelligence in
how they work and what they accomplish.’— Rudolf Steiner

While the benefits of Steiner’s research into agriculture and education are
increasingly recognized, his research into the nature of bees has had limited
impact on beekeeping practices and on our general understanding of nature.
Wisdom of the Bees examines Steiner’s insights and research into the nature
of bees and their implications for the future of beekeeping.

Today, more than eighty years after Rudolf Steiner presented his lectures on bees, we are confronted
with a serious decline of honeybees around the world. This fact alone justifies Wisdom of the Bees,
a practical and timely introduction to biodynamic beekeeping. Erik Berrevoets revisits those seminal
lectures and re-examines Steiner’s observations and insights in the context of today’s dire situation
and provides practical advice for modern beekeeping practices. His book is an accessible and es-
sential introduction to the urgent subject of holistic beekeeping practices.

John Bloom
Genius of Money
Essays and Interviews
Reimagining the Financial World
Coming to terms with money is one of the great transformational
challenges of our time. This collection of essays and interviews is an invitation
and inquiry addressing that challenge on a systemic and personal level.
The book presents an engaging worldview that emerges from the intersection
of money and spirit. Practical, spiritual and unwavering, it investigates the
financial world as it plays out in daily life through our transactions.

The first section, ‘The Poetics of Money’, is framed on historical and contemporary works of art that
reveal some of the cultural history of money. In the second section, ‘The Topography of Transactions’,
the author explores the inner landscape of financial transactions. Finally, the third section, ‘A Wealth
of Transformation’, consists of interviews with individuals who have transformed themselves as they
transformed the world through social entrepreneurship, philanthropy, philosophical inquiry into
money, investing and spiritual practice. These exemplars represent the many who have recognized that
the financial world needs to change if we are to have peace in the world.

The Waldorf Book of Breads
Edited and introduced by Winslow Eliot
Illustrated by Jo Valens
Like the Waldorf Kindergarten Snack Book and Waldorf School Book of
Soups, this newest book in the series provides yet another rich resource for
spending time in the kitchen with young children—this time baking bread.
What child doesn’t like to feel and knead bread dough, watch it rise,
and then taste it fresh from the oven? Not only is such hands-on sensory
experience fun for everyone, it is also invaluable to young children as they
continue to incarnate into our world.

These recipes, handed down by grandmothers, mothers, aunts and friends, are easy to follow and
encourage the baker, young and old alike, to use the best possible ingredients, making bread once
again the healthy ‘staff of life’ it once was. The Waldorf Book of Breads includes tasty breads for the
daily table and specialty breads for seasons and special occasions. And, like her other books, this
one too is spiral-bound, so it lies flat to make life in the kitchen a little easier.

Artist Jo Valens once again provides delightful illustrations to accompany the many recipes for
delicious breads.

Ernst Katz
Core Anthroposophy
Teaching Essays of Ernst Katz
Ernst Katz was one of the foremost teachers of anthroposophy in Amer-
ica during the second half of the twentieth century. He was professor of
physics at the University of Michigan and, quite likely, the only professor in
the country who taught courses in both natural science and ‘spiritual’ science
at the university level. In the early 1960s, Dr Katz began writing his ‘teaching
essays’, his response to the many questions through the years intended to help
students comprehend the profound wisdom contained in the major works of
anthroposophy. Core Anthroposophy makes these essays available, offering
present and future students of anthroposophy with a valuable and accessible
resource for better understanding the esoteric teachings of Rudolf Steiner.

Paul-Eugen Schiller
The Schiller File
Supplements to the Collected Edition of Rudolf Steiner
Scientific Research suggested by Rudolf Steiner
Anthroposophy has manifold roots in natural science. Rudolf Steiner never
tired of saying that the development of scientific awareness had given people
the possibility of freedom, that the way to cognizing the spiritual world is
based on the natural scientific attitude, and that certainty of such knowledge
is comparable to the certainty found in mathematics and natural science.

Drawn from Schiller’s notebooks, this important volume describes natural scientific research by
scientists working at the Goetheanum and following suggestions from Rudolf Steiner, leading, for
example, to research on gases at low temperatures and high vacuum. The Schiller File is an
important resource for those who wish to better understand how to approach and practise natural
science from the perspective of spiritual science.
