Terranova Euritmia in Dornach

Saturday, 22nd September.
With a little apprehension I am preparing the first meal for the Eurythmy group from Brasil, whom I met before, but havent seen in a long time. Christina, Ben and I (that would be Katha) are the so called hosts for this group, who will be around the YouthSection during their stay in Dornach.
I wonder, what are young people like, that have been working with Eurythmy for the last months? Are they any different than before?
Here they come, they come to say hello. Hugs, and hugs again, joyous re-encounters, this is the word they use in Portugues, "reencontro", to meet again.

We eat, and while we are at the table they seem to multiply. I cooked for 20, they are almost 30, because they are joined by many friends, but food is sufficient, and everyone is happy. The terrace of the Youth Section is filled with laughter. People are walking around, sitting, talking, filling the space, the Teestube, the kitchen. This is what it is for! It is great!

Saturday Night they give a performance in the Foundationstone Hall at the Goetheanum. Eurythmy of a different kind. Not only are they only between 19 an 21 years old, but they are absolutely full of will, serious committment to what they have chosen to do, deeply connected to each other, and seemingly absolutely aware of themselves. The Eurythmy becomes a full performance of how young people can stand in the world, be concious, responsible, beautiful and serious, while they are joyously putting on a humorous piece of Eurythmy.
I am proud of them, because they are such a good example to the world!

The day after begins with a breakfast at the YouthSection which is followed by a time of conversation with Elizabeth Wirsching. The Group asked for this, they wished to speak with her.
Thereafter we have the chance to go on a different kind of tour through the Goetheanum, where we enter it from the back end so to speak. Joeri Meijer gives us a full technical view of this huge undertaking called the Goetheanum. Afterwards Eric Hürner takes us through more interpretive parts, the windows of the main hall, the sculpture of the representative of humanity...

From this inward time we pass into the beaming sun light of a wondeful autumn day and walk up to the ruins of Dorneck castle where we have a picknick with the full view of our surroundings.

Lets hope there is more young people of this kind, that come to fill our rooms in the YouthSection with laughter and good energies.

For now, ate logo, gente maravilhoso!
