Reading for Those Who Have Died 2021

At the end of each year the group that participates regularly in the Reading for Those Who Have Died on the last Saturday of each month discusses the format of these readings for the next year. For two years this group has been using a compilation of lectures given by Rudolf Steiner in a book called Staying Connected: How to Continue Your Relationship with Those who Have Died as the source for a contemplation on how to stay connected with those who have crossed the threshold. Many questions arise from these lectures. For 2021 the group has decided to contemplate some of these questions with the aim of having a short discussion each month. Each month, therefore, one person will prepare by reading from one of the lectures from this book and present a concept which the group will contemplate for the month to discuss at the next reading. The preparation is therefore not to provide a synopsis of a lecture, or to elucidate the content of the lecture, but rather to find a single concept worth contemplating. This means that the person presenting the concept will do so in preparation for the coming month and will then start the conversation at the reading in the next month by reminding the group of the concept and possibly adding the results of their own contemplation over the course of the month. Thereafter a sharing of about 20 minutes will aim to further deepen the understanding of this concept from the inner work of each member of the group.

Saturday 27 February 2021

The Reading for Those Who Have Died in February 2021 will happen at 17h00 on Saturday 27 February and the contemplation will be led by Karin von Schilling on the concept of how we can interact with those on the other side of the threshold in that Rudolf Steiner says we can become aware of them by feeling their willing and willing their feeling. This question has arisen from one of the lectures by Rudolf Steiner collected in the book Staying Connected: How to Continue Your Relationship with Those who Have Died.
The monthly Reading for Those Who Have Died is open to everyone in the congregation and we would dearly welcome more participants.​
