Holy Nights with Faust Branch Zoom Program - Santa Cruz Monterey Bay Branch of the Anthroposophical Society of America

The Faust Branch in Fair Oaks has organized a very full program of Zoom talks for the Holy Nights this year, and have invited the Santa Cruz / Monterey Bay Branch members to participate through Zoom. (We have also coordinated the date of our Shepherd’s Play to fit it to the overall schedule, and of course, likewise invited the Faust Branch).

All Faust Branch meetings will start at 7:30 with informal conversation at 7:15. The Zoom link will be sent the December 23rd.

Each evening will begin with the lighting of a candle, a verse, and quiet moments to become conscious of the presence of those who have passed the threshold of death. We will end the evening with the Foundation Stone verse for the day, lyre music and perhaps a song and/or eurythmy.

For those who wish to read the Steiner lectures in advance, or have them available during the presentation, they are all available at the Rudolf Steiner Archive.
