Eurythmy is an art form that makes sounds visible. By incorporating zodiac
gestures into their art, as indicated by Rudolf Steiner, eurythmists can draw
on a deep connection between the earth and the cosmos.
The zodiac, as representative of the whole cosmos, is a vital part of human
spirituality, acting as the backdrop to human life. But it can be hard to
fathom the zodiac's secrets, even through meditation. Barfod draws a
parallel between meditative exercises and eurythmy practice, and shows
how zodiac gestures in eurythmy can reveal cosmic insights.
This is a book for eurythmy teachers and practitioners who want to
deepen their art and spiritual work.
