England:
Project Working
in the sublitteral Spheres an Landscape Healing in London
This city has a loaded past, made with the construction of the land and
the imperium. Through working here at wounded places, like old churchyards
and at the White Tower (before a prison), old suffering, still rambling
past ones and twisted landscape workings can be seen in. liberated and
transformed.
The work is on a wounded area by means of descending in the sublitteral
spheres, where the fallen angels and probably some dead people may still
be bound. We try to get in contact with these, free and transform them
through our singing and warm consciousness. To this, rhythmical sayings
have been developed to get in contact with them. This work needs deeper
schooling and a sturdy soul, for the fallen beings can be forceful in
their convictions.
Time: Tuesday 25 – thursday 27 May
from 10 – 17.
Place: Gathering at the White Tower in London
Costs: € / £ 150, - excl. meals and sleeping
place (in hotel or pension).
Concert Widar
and other Songs by LaukaR Unja
The Widar Songs paint the mechanical influences to
which man is exposed, and the possibilities that man has with these influences
to transform for the good.
Every song follows a day in the week (from Sunday onwards) and these are
well suited for the Holy Week before Easter, because it entails contents
that we will meet the strongest during this time; the forces of death
and resurrection. Without any liturgy or religious direction as its background:
Singer-composer Nicolaas Marius has developed these as a sequence in his
work to cure landscapes, and therewith humans, with the Beings of Nature.
Each song is written in a special rhythm and mood, which brings the listener
in his own organ processes, upon which he can meditate.
Besides this, other songs are performed, that have been cherished and
worked out by the music-theatre group LaukaR Unja.
This concert brings together the rhythmical poetical
songs of Nicolaas de Jong with the sung harmonies by his co-workers, built
up during their long cooperation in landscape healing and singing together.
The music is healing to the soul and to the landscape.
Song, percussion, lyre and guitar.
Place: Atelier in Shieldbrook Sculpture
garden, King’s Caple, Herefordshire.
Time: Friday evening 28th
of May 20 p.m.
Cost: £ 5.

WORKSHOPS
Working with the Elementals and Angels in your garden and on Sunday on
a local wounded area
Elemental beings and landscape angels maintain nature,
but we cannot directly perceive them with our ordinary senses. These have
to be schooled, refined and directed to uplift the perceptions of these
beings into our consciousness.
There are developed schooling methods to get in contact step by step with
the different groups of elementals. First, we will learn in a directed
way to observe them; by means of communal singing, observation, movement
and clay modeling. The singing helps to open up the soul, the clay modeling
helps to condense these observations. And in debriefing we share and make
more conscious the experience and observations.
Next we will try to communicate with them, a specific task for each group.of
elementals. After this we will decide whether they need to be reinforced
in their specific places.
The effects of elemental beings in plants can be observed
and inwardly experienced through singing together. By singing together
we can observe the true phenomena living within them, we can feel an impression
in our own bodies in relation to the elementals. Through repetition we
make the experiences more and more objective. By modeling in clay we discover
the fine effects of elemental beings in soul attitudes and in gestures.
This workshop gives you tools to work in a landscape,
for instance your own garden, by finding out how it energetically functions,
what is not yet in balance, and how to improve this. It is a continuation
of two previous workshops, held at the Hereford Waldorf School and can
be enjoyed by anyone interested in working on these phenomena..
No schooled voice or modeling experience required
The course is given by Nicolaas de Jong, Dutch writer, musician, sculptor,
astrosopher and landscape healer. He has developed these methods through
biology, musical theatre and observations in life. He has had many projects
of landscape healing all over Europe and the US, mostly on wounded places
like previous battle fields and concentration camps.
Saturday 29th of May
: Working with elemental beings and discovering the specific
spaces in the garden at the Hereford Waldorf School. We will concentrate
on the moods in landscape that may lead us to the workings of nymphs and
fairies. These protect the smaller elementals, which we thus try to discover
and reinforce. Thus we can learn to discover the seven organs of the overall
landscape in which the landscape angel expresses herself.
Sunday 30th of May :
Work in a wounded area where the fallen angels and probably some dead
people may still be bound. We try to get in contact with these, free and
transform them through our singing and warm consciousness. To this, rhythmical
sayings have been developed to get in contact with them. This work needs
deeper schooling and a sturdy soul, for the fallen beings can be forceful
in their convictions. The spot is at the hilltop at the other side of
the little stream, seen from the school.
Both days from 10.00 a.m. - 17.00 p.m. Cost:
£ 45 per day. Call 01432840670
Place Saturday: Waldorf School Hereford, Herefordshire.
Place Sunday: At the hilltop opposite of the school.

Bringing the future forces of the
Son of Man into the land through the sensitive point at Hentland
In 2008 we have worked at Hentland and the church
of St. Dubricious, the previous point of flowing in of the Celtic folk
spirit that inspires esoteric Christianity. This center, the first university
in Britain, was burned down and destroyed in the 9th century by roaming
German tribes. By doing work in the sublitteral spheres, we liberated
the still hanging people and the counterstriving spirits of that place,
so that it can be a place of inspiration since then.
By doing a dance that develops the petals of the lotus flowers, or better
said the virtues that help to develop these, we bring in the forces of
the Son of Man to this place, the future capacity of mankind. And thus
we help the Celtic folk spirit to optimize his work. This dance has been
performed before in Germany, at the central point of flowing in of the
Jupiter forces, at the Externsteine, Teutoburger Wald.
The participants make their own gestures on the base of the music which
has been developed out of the inner workings of astrophony, the star and
planet music in relation to man’s physiology. By doing so, one helps
to develop these virtues through the consciousness. We work on different
lotus flowers and bring them in organically in the land.
At the end the Rhine song will be sang, which deals with the 12 warmth
types which are the tools of the ego for inner development. We make models
of our inner work and place it at the sensitive point with a ritual.
Monday 1st of June: Working with
the Navel-, Solar Plexus- and heart lotus.
Tuesday 2nd of June: Working with the front, throat,
tailbone and crown lotus. Rhine song and final ritual.
Both days from 9.30 – 17.
Cost: £ 85 or £ 45 per day.
Reductions in fees are negotiable.

Training
Music Therapy on
the Basis of Astrosophy
- analysis of a birth horoscope to temperament, constitution,
soul type, world vision, soul constellations and the karma, from astrosophical
insights
- working in music from the four human bodies of spirit, soul, life body
and the physical, from astrophonical insights. This means working to tonality,
rhythm foot and measure type.
- tackling concrete of life areas and body processes
- curing by means of healing sounds and rhythms
- handles to self insight and schooling
by Nicolaas M. de Jong, astrosopher, writer, sculptural
and musical artist, instrument builder.
In this music therapy training there is a specific
treatment to the four human bodies. Briefly said can the spirit, or an
idea, be recognised as a musical motive, that is carried by a tonality,
on a rhythm and in a measure type. What concerns musical elaborations,
this includes targeted work with rhythm feet and measure types. Rhythm
feet bring us in contact with the different life areas, and measure types
with the organ processes. These are inner reflections in time of the planet
movements towards the Earth, which bring forth our organ processes. These
inspirative path through the heart has become accessible since the crucifixion
of Christ in the life world in 1942.
The starting point for the music therapy is the vast system of interpretation
of a birth horoscope about problems and possibilities of the individual
development, developed in the astrosophy. Each component is being approached
in an artistic way.
With music the soul contents and willing gestures can be brought up in
the consciousness, and it is possible to can be worked at parts that are
out of balance. Clay modelling helps to condense the observations. This
gives an insight in processes in its own inner world, view on onesidednesses
and weaknesses and new possibilities for development. There is being worked
with the voice and the lyre. There will be moved in an experiencing way
on intervals and tonalities. Rhythms and measure types are being walked
upon or danced. All working methods are phenomenological of nature.
This training gives handles to be able work with patients to specific
problems in a directed way. Initially there is being worked with ones
own horoscope, which gives oneself insights through experience. This can
be applied at others later.
With music one works on the soul level, with the rhythms on life processes,
and with the measure types targeted to the body organs. Thus a pallet
of possibilities arises to be able to work with patients in a directed
way.
The first part of the training offers a basis
concept framework of astrosophy from the imaginative
experience, through which a birth horoscope can be read as an analysis
of the bodies, the temperament, the constitution, soul type, world vision,
strong and weak body processes, soul qualities and conflicts, and the
direction of the karma.
In the second part of training
these elements are approached musically in tonality (major and church
scales), rhythm and measure types. These are being experienced by means
of communal singing, movement and dancing. These elements are being integrated
and there will be worked aimed on planet positions (soul regions) and
configurations.
In the third part there
will be practised with the musical components in a directed way, and inner
perceptions of the planet positions can be modelled out in clay.
Moreover an introduction is being given of the lyres as developed in the
Rune workshop which each has the form gesture of one the zodiacal star
images as sound producing principle in it. These can tighten up the therapy
still further.
It is worked with voice, lyre and the body. Moreover
inner experiences are being modelled out in clay. Some knowledge of the
musical notation is necessary. Take along easily sitting clothing and
shoes.
There will be worked with the book ` Karmic Astrosophy - a practically
experiencable method in images, music and plastic. Costs € 32. -.

Education
Working with
elemental beings and landscape healing at Meppel, the Netherlands.
We live in a time where we
see many natural coherences and balances fade around us. Mostoften we
feel we cannot do anything about it, while the industry and urbanisation
takes its charge. Yet little is known about our capacities to renew our
cooperation with nature and the beings working in these. In the Middle
Ages this was still common, and people used to consider nature beings
for crop growing and house building; there was cooperation. After this
capacity has faded, as well as the knowledge about it, now our consciousness
is widening again, and we can approach the natural beings, when we exercise
our inner senses and capacities to that. In this we can learn to cooperate
with them again, so we can reshape our surroundings together anew. This
is a stroke against nowadays apathy.
With every perception through the senses, we absorp elemental beings as
well that form these; they are the contents of our thoughts. Normally
we are not aware of this, but they do work and maintain nature and even
our own physical body. As these beings are soul beings, we can contact
them through our feelings; as they work in the life world of formative
forces, we can get in tune with them through the rhythms they live in.
Singing together may help opening up our souls, and the perceptions become
more conscious when we model these out afterwards in clay, thus opening
new inner senses for them, through which we can characterise them better.
In this workshop we will first sing atmospheric colours and the formative
forces that make a plant grow, which we will model out. After this, we
will go and look for different elemental beings in nature, and try to
work with them, integrating them in a landscape unity, called a landscape
temple. Through this we can learn to recognize these beings in other places
and start to develop lazndscape curing, for man is busy to destroy natural
landscapes, and has the task to reorganize it as well. it’s up to
us.
The methods of investigation, singing together, clay modelling and perceiving
with the body come from phenomenology (developed initially by the German
poet Goethe) and include methods of astrosophy, connecting the human physiology
and consciousness with the workings of the stars and of nature.
The Dutch writer, artist, astrosopher and landscape healer Nicolaas de
Jong has developed these methods of elemental observation and landscape
healing for more than 20 years. He gives courses and seminars in Europe
and the US.
