This foundation has as an aim to support and stimulate the scientifically, artistically and practical work which originates from renewed astronomy, the so-called Astrosophy. With that she aims to give to the culture a renewing impetus from this star wisdom. There has been founded a college for spiritual science, objective art and moral technique, called Jaspis School. In it the slumbering forces and capacities of the Son of Man, or of the world word, get a possibility for development, and this by passing education and schooling methods about it. These schooling methods have been founded in by w. von Goethe and r. Steiner developed Phenomenology or Goethean Science, where new steps have been developed to be able to penetrate in for the consciousness normally dark regions of life, soul and spirit. In the starry sky (stars and planets) the ideas for the realisation of man and the world stand written down. If one knows to indicate and also to apply these, then one can try to realise that development within oneself. Indicating does Astrosophy, making it applicable the developed Astrophony and Astrognomy. To this end the foundation and people connected to it have developed a number of initiatives. Preliminary analysis in Astrosophy has been done by Nicolaas M. de Jong, phenomenologist, astrosopher, artist and writer. He has by means of researches in phenomenology, courses and workshops examined the workings of stars and planets within man an nature in such a manner, that he could make tools out of it to penetrate in the worlds of live, of the soul and of the spirit. To this end he has firstly widened astrology and astronomy and completed it with the insights of Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophy that people have four interweaving bodies, being a physical and a life body, a soul and a spirit. The insights which arise from this in the workings of stars and planets, can be grasped in the term Astrosophy, or wisdom on the stars and planets. Working methods for research formed the phenomenology developed by Goethe, of which the higher steps have been extended by Nicolaas by means of sonic and form research. This has found its precipitation in a number of books, published as Rune books (see under publications). On application of a young people platform in Amsterdam, at that time being called the 'dynamic Tuesday', have arisen from 1993 onwards schooling routes, where the research- and working methods of Astrosophy in the inside and outside world has been further developed and refined. This has been shaped in the Jasper schoolingscourses. At the base basis of the phenomenological working methods lay scommunal singing in an improvising way (to link the soul with the phenomena) and modelling out in clay what one has observed in different live and soul regions. Several of the participants of the first hour have started projects separately and with each other, what on the one hand has resulted in the establishment of the Fjodor foundation, on the other side of the illustrated magazine Bruisvat (Brimir) for culture renewal. Always new participants have come at, whereas Patrick Steensma and Nicolaas de Jong moved their activities also to foreign countries (the US, whole of Europe). It has been worked with several participants for landscape healing projects in Europe. Different participant have been busy to apply the astrosofical working methods in their own field. Moreover on several spots courses and work liens has arisen. Thus an open workshop has been running under the guidance of Ezrah Bakker (economist) in Amsterdam, there is one in Warnsveld (close to Zutphen) under the guidance of Elbert Slikkerveer (social artist). The latter has developed further as well rythmic forging which originates results from Astrophony. Evelien Nijeboer (expressive artist) for some time has conducted the choir Via Natura, that has arisen from the sonic phenomenological work with plants and colours. She develops now methods to paint on this basis. Patrick Steensma (lawyer and entrepreneur) is busy to give shape to the the working methods in company trainings and coaching. In Amsterdam from 2002-2003 in the Bruisvat house chamber college there have been organised readings and courses. In Bergen, Amsterdam and Almen (close to Zutphen) have been given several Jasper schooling courses. Moreover on application in The Netherlands and foreign countries. In September 2004 a training 'Applied Astrosophy – Working with the Life World' in three trimesters has started in Zutphen. In September 2005 and January 2006 new educations start in Meppel, and as well in the south of The Netherlands and in north Germany. In Meppel has been found a suitable location for a fixed course and education centre, where the Jaspis School for spiritual sciences, objective art and moral techniques has started. As well of an atelier in which there can be further elaborated in sculptures, instruments and other moral techniqual products. This has opened in January 2005. Ultimately there will be strived for the realisation of the schooling building Widarhalla, in which the inner gestures which coincide with the Son of Man and thereby with word forces, developed by the course participants and coworkers, can become visible until in the spatial manifestation. Of this building construction drawings and a maquette are available. You can support us by becoming donor, with minimum € 25. - per year you receive the vast newsletter. Fjodor has been recognised as a nonprofit organisation. That makes your grants to € 3760 tax-free. You can also become a participant to one or more initiatives. And of course a workshop or course attendant. For contact, click here.
