Inspired by Rudolf Steiner’s insights into the threefold nature of the human being we will discover how our inner life of thinking, feeling and willing is directly connected to diverse physiological processes, not just to the brain.

During this class, we will stretch the term “journaling” beyond what we think it is or should be, to what it could be.

Simultaneously, we will tune in to each of our own interests and purposes — stretching how we approach our routine “keeping track” and seeing what emerges that is illuminating and generative.
