Acerca del seminario web
A musical Instrument is a tool to share sound with others. How do we find the source of music? What does an Instrument need to transfer music into the realm of hearing? These questions have accompanied me since I started this work some 50 years ago. We will explore the essence of musical instruments and Franz Thomastik, Violinmaker, Vienna. (1883 – 1951). His work began an anthroposophical Group of Violinmakers in Austria.

How to Know Higher Worlds
A Modern Path of Initiation
This is the classic account of the modern Western esoteric path of initiation made public by Steiner in 1904. He begins with the premise that “the capacities by which we can gain insights into the higher worlds lie dormant within each one of us.” Steiner carefully and precisely leads the reader from the cultivation of the fundamental soul attitudes of reverence and inner tranquility to the development of inner life through the stages of preparation, illumination, and initiation.
