| | | | Description
Wolfram von Eschenbach’s medieval poem Parzival holds cosmic secrets for our time. Wolfram began reciting his Parzival in the 13th century, yet its story line, artistic language, and esoteric structure fully entertain, nourish, and fascinate us today.
What spiritual mysteries are working through its magical appeal? What secrets about our time might the Red Knight’s 9th century adventures reveal to us? How is Parzival related to the Eightfold Path of Buddha? What symbols of Christ weave through the narrative?
We will explore each of the story’s 16 “books” or chapters over 16 sessions, studying its zodiacal structure and drawing upon Rudolf Steiner’s profound insights concerning the Arthurian, Grail, and Parzival streams to light our path.
Each session will include a combination of lecture and eurythmy. Alice and Brian are designing each class period as a weaving of story and eurythmy to encourage and bring to life in our beings the mystery wisdom that infuses the classic and transformative tale of Parzival. It promises to be exciting, stimulating, and lots of fun to engage this dramatic adventure together! |
| | Brian Gray is renowned for his deep love of Parzival, as well as for the eye-opening and even life-changing insights that he has discovered in his reading and research into this very special story. This course may well be described as “the ultimate Parzival”. Never before has Brian had the time and opportunity to share all his research about this classic and transformative tale of “a brave man, slowly wise.”
Alice Stamm has a knack for enlivening body, soul, and spirit through eurythmy experiences tailored to the needs of the individuals present. She does this while simultaneously bringing to life in our beings the heart element of whatever it is the group is focused on learning or accomplishing. The weaving of eurythmy with the story of Parzival will be a rich and rewarding element of our experiences together during this course. |
