The Four Elements – An Introduction
A workshop led by Armand Ruby, MS
Rudolf Steiner gives us insights into the nature of the four classic elements that dovetail with and complement our scientific understanding of the nature of earthly substance. In this workshop we explore the characteristics of the elements of earth, water, air and fire in plants, humans, and the world at large.
Using the unique and all-important physical configuration of water as an example, we will have a group experience of the transformation among physical states. Drawing upon living examples from the farm, we will observe and discuss the relationships of the parts of the plants and their signatures in relation to the four elements and the cosmos.
This is a 90 minute workshop to be held at Blossoms Farm.
Armand Ruby, M.S.
