Angela Foster brings practical tips and wisdom to our understanding of the spirits of earth, water, air and fire from Chapter 1 & 2 of Nature Spirits by Rudolf Steiner. She invites us to be active in our striving for perception of these beings, while at the same time asking us to slow down and take a moment to be still and perceive the spiritual realm right beyond the physically perceptible world we live in. Her down to earth advice and deep understanding of Steiner's worldview brings us closer to understanding these elemental beings and their relationships with each other and human beings. Angela and I know that in our time, we can't do this work alone.

Tess Parker, astrologer, writer and overall amazing human, shares her wit and wisdom with us as we work through The Elemental Spirits of Birth and Death, a lecture by Rudolf Steiner from 1917 that's amazingly applicable to our time. In true Steiner form, you might think this book is about trees or gnomes, but nope. It’s about so much more than that, and in particular, the destructive nature of these elementals and their connection to technology and commerce. We cover so many topics! AI, plant medicine, the environment, and virtues. Together, we lean into this spiritual framework that helps us understand the bigger picture and role of these spirits in our world.

Andres Schabelman, creator of the new podcast Re-Belle and author of the new self-help book Captains Wanted. This podcast opens with a harrowing tale of an encounter that left him nearly dead in a foreign country–a wake up call to trust himself and become more of who he is. We talk about the quest for Impact vs. the quest for fame and how growth is by no means a linear thing. After recording this episode, I can say that it was fate, destiny or in anthroposophical terms "karma" that brought us together for this show. In the first few minutes, you’ll understand why! I really enjoyed this conversation and I think you will too! https://open.spotify.com/show/4Su44VNm7LHEXONFpUpeX9 Instagram @Schabelmania

Get ready to be deeply strengthened and inspired despite of the difficulties of our time.  Carrie and John Schuchardt share the joy, wisdom and hope that come from supporting refugees and people with special needs at the House of Peace. Both John and Carrie share powerful stories along with their deep concern for the world. They orient us to the need for community, shared discernment toward truth, and connection with the still small voice inside us.  This powerful couple reminds us that Camphill (and the bible) say that we must we must serve the widow, the refugee, and the orphan and not to limit our capacity to give.

Kim Marie connects anthroposophy, archetypes, and feminine wisdom in her practice as a teacher and coach. In this episode, we talk about the deep feminine, particularly its invitation to growth through messiness and a “both/and” gesture towards the world. The deep feminine is asking us to question everything, in particular, the materialism of the world. We delve into topics like the institutionalization of anthroposophy and other spiritual paths, the meaning of depression, anxiety, and narcissism and more. Her insight on her addiction to spirit rather than the messiness of soul work is enlightening. On January 16 2025, Kim’s yearly 12-month program Solace starts, opening with the question “What is your Soul longing for?” She helps us on our journey from self-doubt and dissatisfaction to our aligned, empowered, and fulfilling life. I love that Kim combines ancient wisdom, archetypal stories and a little practical magic in all her work. Kim’s advice is to pick a nugget of this podcast and follow its thread.

Chinyelu Kunz, author of The Little Book of Parenting, opens this episode with a deeply spiritual childhood experience in a time of war. From this spiritual place, Chinyelu offers us ideas on becoming a nurturing parent despite the obstacles in our own childhood experiences. She invites us to trust our children, especially when they don't conform to traditional learning benchmarks, and trust ourselves as we grow and change along with them.

How do we help our teens navigate a world that centers on anxiety and fear? Megan Sullivan, Social Emotional Learning instructor, invites us to see our children's sensitivity as wisdom while framing resilience as strength through connection, rather than "grit" and self-reliance. This new understanding asks us as parents, to reflect on our own stuff with self-compassion. Megan's insights offer hope, humor, and meaning for educators, parents, and teens.

I live in the land of teenagers and it is incredible. Somehow they get a bad rap, but they are creative, deep thinkers fighting for their lives in this strange world. Today I’m joined by Andrew May, deep thinker, organizational whizz, writer and former high school teacher. This inspiring conversation will remind you of how we need to show up for the young adults in our lives–with humility and honesty.  Stay tuned to the end for Andrew’s beautiful poem called The Gloaming. https://substack.com/@andrewmay Coming Up: How To Know Higher Worlds by Rudolf Steiner is described as a handbook for peace. Why? Because to create peace we need to establish it within ourselves. Over the next year, I’ll offer a monthly gathering to dive deep into its chapters and practice the exercises in a small community of learners. The meetings will happen one Saturday a month for 1.5 hours. I’ll send preparatory work your way, and then we will come together to explore. If interested, please email or DM me and pass it along to your friends. I can’t wait for you to join me!

Meggan Gill explores being alive in a time of beauty, challenge, and change, and what this means for Waldorf education. In this far-ranging discussion, we talk about materialism, the danger of certainty, the humbling experience of working with children, embracing difference, systems of oppression, and the children coming into the world today.  #waldorfeducation #waldorfhomeschool #biodynamics #rudolfsteiner #anthroposophy #disruptmaterialism #somethingbeautifuleveryday #waldorf

I loved talking with Annie Haas (@thechildisthecurriculum) about homeschooling and Waldorf education as mechanisms to disrupt materialism in profound ways. She shared a deep experience that solidified her connection to the spiritual world, the depth of the Waldorf curriculum and its profound spiritual impact, and the many ways she assists moms and other seekers on their spiritual journeys. I can't wait to talk with Annie again! You can find all her anthropop and Waldorf resources, including her Threefold Human Calendar and book clubs here. https://linktr.ee/thechildisthecurriculum

In this last lecture in the Hibernian Mystery series given by Rudolf Steiner, we see how a materialistic understanding of spiritual beings came to be the dominant way of relating to spirituality.  Walk through the evolution of human consciousness and arrive at a question: How do we access this ancient wisdom again, especially when we are barred from approaching it in our modern times?  We can do it!

My Summer 2024 Podcast Book Club is focused on the Hibernian Mysteries, ancient initiation rites that occurred in Ireland. Why does this matter now? We need this understanding more than ever to disrupt the materialistic forces of the world and see a fuller picture of our capacities and responsibilities as humans. As Rudolf Steiner explains, "The purpose of all these different paths was to unveil the hidden aspects of world existence and human existence." Join me as I work through this lecture with humor and hope for the future.

SUMMER PODCAST BOOK CLUB STARS NOW! The Hibernian Mysteries SUMMER WORKSHOP STARTS JUNE 22: Disrupting Materialism: Personal Practices to Help the World  The need to understand what we cannot experience beyond our physical senses is ever present. In the past, people were brought into an understanding of the esoteric, the spiritual, through ritual and deep experiences often guided by teachers. Our 2024 Summer Book Club is focused on one initiation known as the Hibernian Mysteries which took place in Ireland in ancient times. That path is still relevant for us today.  Together we'll walk through the initiation that took place in that time and grapple with the deep concepts that Steiner presents in these three lectures given in December 1923--over 100 years ago. And of course, I'll be a bit silly along the way.  Hibernian Mystery Lectures online  Book: Mystery Knowledge and Mystery Centers: 14 Lectures by Rudolf Steiner, Intro by Andrew Welburn

In this first episode of Season 8 on the Hibernian Mystery Centers, Lisa Romero asks us to imagine a world where all aspects of our lives--policies, medicine, education, leadership, are connected to the spiritual.  Join me for three more episodes in my summer "Podcast Book Club" on the Hibernian Mysteries where we explore why these initiation processes are relevant for our future. Read along here.   And hey--let's do something together!  We need to.   Join my new workshop series Disrupting Materialism: Personal Practices to Help the World or sign up for a coaching session with me at laurascappaticci.com Check out Lisa's most recent offerings, including the Astral Arc  and her St. John's workshop series here! She's amazing.  THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!
