Western Regional Council of the Anthroposophical
Society
March 7-9,The Dawning
Clairvoyant Gaze: Charting a Safe Course
A Western Region Study Conference held at Rudolf Steiner College http://www.integrativegroup.com/wrc/
Please note: Some people have been saying
that they may not attend because they aren't able to do much study or
preparation in advance, as was suggested. The Planning Committee wants to
get the word out that prior study is not a condition for coming. Anyone
interested in the subject is warmly encouraged to attend. Our hope is to
offer something relevant to anyone striving to understand and explore what
Rudolf Steiner had to say on the subject, and what people are currently experiencing/witnessing in their own and the lives of
others.
New Members of the Western Regional Council
The Western Regional Council added two new members in the past year, Daniel
Bittleston and Michael Pinchera.
They wanted the members of the Western Region to get to know them, and solved
the problem of who would write about them by asking them to interview each
other. Please see the attachment "WRC
NEW MEMBERS REPORT.pdf" for the results.
