Sophia Institute Foundation Studies Courses in Anthroposophy and the Arts
The Foundation Studies in Anthroposophy and the Arts are scheduled over the period of 1—3 years. Students will be able to fulfill the requirements on an individual basis; new students may enroll starting either with the spring or fall semester. Foundation Studies include a variety of artistic courses, independent studies and study courses. Students learn about the different arts, and about the influence of Anthroposophy that has enriched, and transformed traditional art forms, and created new ones, like Eurythmy. Students have the possibility to practice the arts, learn new skills, or deepen their understanding of the arts. Besides Eurythmy, courses in music, speech, painting, drawing, handwork, modeling, and spatial dynamics are being offered. The study courses include in-depth study of the basic works of Anthroposophy, and offer the student the opportunity to explore the philosophical and psychological basis of the world-view of Anthroposophy and of Waldorf Education. Students will be challenged to critically examine the concepts and issues addressed in this world-view, which offers a modern path of knowledge and self-transformation. Deadline for registration: August 01, 2007. More info and registration forms here.
