Becoming Sophia a Creative Arts Community -

Becoming Sophia is an online creative arts community- it’s a 12 month journey through the Zodiac, mixed media arts, journal writing, meditation, and dreamwork.

Each Month we post a Zodiac constellation- and discuss the virtue associated with it. (did you know there are corresponding virtues ?) and as Becoming Sophia is grounded in personal development, self-empowerment and artistic explorations of the Goddesses we find all over the world, we take a look at our own deeper story.

You will receive the monthly online log in to Classroom, that has vlogs and weekly prompts-videos are pre-recorded so you can log in any time all over the word!

Tune in for the weekly Mindfulness meditations based on Steiner's 6 Basic exercises and discussions/vlogs/blogs on how to work with them in practical ways in our daily life. 

REGISTRATION OPEN CLASSROOM OPENS MAY 2024

 

BONUS!!! There is a Becoming Sophia Creative Arts digital journal for your journey this year!

Joining our Sophia Creative Arts community is FREE! and we're believers in the power of giving back. We understand that everyone's financial situation is different, so there's no fixed price.

Calendar of the Soul Colored Pencil Drawings by Karl Konig with Richard Steel: Fair Oaks, California May 2-5

 Calendar of the Soul with Richard Steel

We are so lucky to have Richard Steel here for the long weekend workshop on the colored pencils drawings of Karl Konig. If I may so so, the tenderness of these images are "Christed" and filled with love. If we stand in front of them and ponder, we can come away strengthened in our will and our conscience - they are "morally uplifting" in a very real sense.

In each of us dwells the 3-4-5 year old and I could sense a Response "There! That is Me! or There Dwells a divine "I" being!

The depth and respect Richard Steel has for Karl Konig's work is evident. But to feel the Heart Forces so active in his talks is a real blessing.

Yesterday we were taken on a journey through Time & Space with the Calendar verses & images and Richard ends with how Rudolf Steiner gives us the ARTS as the way through HEART-FEELING, (not Thinking) to Anthroposophy.

and I couldn't help recalling GA 236 June 4, 1924 Whitsuntide where RS reveals the Sun mystery of Time & Space. I am listening to this lecture on Steiner Audio every day=thanks Dale Brunsvald!

Listening to Richard move through Time & Space with the calendar verses- and their time motifs--there are so many anthroposophical deep mysteries to be studied and how lucky we are to be alive!!
