To Members and Friends of the Anthroposophical Society

The Anthroposophical Society of South Australia are organising a conference for the dates: Thurs 22^nd January to Monday 26^th January.

The theme of the conference is:

EVOLUTION: HOW OUR INDIVIDUAL EVOLUTION AS HUMAN BEINGS CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE EVOLUTION OF THE WORLD.

It is a theme that is enormous and can explore cosmological questions, questions of life, practical avenues of work (both inner and outer), the inter-weaving of science and spirituality education, agriculture, medicine, environment and so on.  In fact, it is a topic that all concerned people in the world are engaged in.  Contributions are invited to be sent to the Organisation Committee in the form of a short description of the topic to be presented either as a talk, artistic work, or workshop.

Offers of contributions can be emailed to: pglasby@picknowl.com.au

or mailed to Peter Glasby PO Box 318 Mt Barker, SA, 5251

By the 20th August 2008

Contributions are not limited to members of the Anthroposophical Society.  In fact we would welcome contributions from anyone who has an interest in the spiritual as well as the worldly aspects of the theme.

The conference will take place at Mt Barker at the above dates and there will be a variety of accommodation possibilities in and around Mt Barker, South Australia

Registration details and a timetable are in the process of being prepared. This is an initial call for contributions so that the committee can prepare the timetable.

We will be having a special guest from Switzerland, Johannes Kuehl who is the leader of the Natural Science Section of the School for Spiritual Science, Goetheanum, Dornach,Switzerland

We are exploring making a special excursion into the Flinders Ranges, either prior to or after the conference.  Here the same theme would be explored in the context of the geology of the Flinders Ranges where there is a spectacular depositional sequence of strata extending from the early green rocks and granites through the early oxygen generators to the first multicellular animals living open in the sea to the transition into the Cambrian world of animals that burrow and encase themselves in shells.

We look forward to hear from you,

Peter Glasby for the Organisational Committee
