REMINDER

The Wise Heads of Kings, the Simple Shepherds' Hearts: Consciousness Soul in storytelling

 A talk by M.A. Kirkwood

at 4 pm, January 6, 2018
Paloma Hall, Camphill
4096 Fairway Drive, Soquel

 

Novelist and anthroposophist M.A. (Mary Anne) Kirkwood will be speaking about storytelling in our times. Rudolf Steiner spoke emphatically about the importance of the arts and well before the onslaught of the digital age. His comment: “…our time has forsaken the spirit-born element in art” is truer today than it was in his time, as this trend continues. Steiner also said artistic creation always involves “man’s struggle to harmonize the spiritual-divine with the physical-earthly.” This couldn’t be more true here-perhaps, literally so.
M.A. Kirkwood’s latest novel Claire Ange introduces us to a befuddled spirit-entity that opens portals into spirit-destiny through one’s earthly deeds, all set in a humorous, contemporary narrative.  Working in the imaginative-intuitive, the author will discuss the importance of bringing consciousness soul (the thinking heart) into storytelling (and giving examples of this in Western literature) as well as humor’s role in serving as an apt conduit to spiritual truths.  For more information on Claire Ange and M.A. Kirkwood, please see author interview: The Importance of Being Humorous here at Anthroposophy.org or visit: M.A. Kirkwood, Novelist on Facebook. For those interested, the author’s latest book will be available at a generous discount.
