Thank you Theodore and the team for the course! It was very nicely organized and I enjoyed it! I got good results managing the stress from the day one. As a eurythmist I also gained a lot of new insights from the planetary gestures and basic movement principals in eurythmy. I feel like I have pockets full of diamonds now :) I can highly recommend this course to everybody!

I am quite new to eurythmy and the teachings of Dr. Rudolph Steiner.
The ABSR Eurythmy Course is beautiful. My background is in the healing arts; specifically, forms of bodywork and energy work as in massage therapy, yoga and study and practice in shamanic teachings.
Eurythmy opens a portal to embody streams of energy that I had never experienced. In practicing eurythmy, I feel held and cared for by these energies in me and around me. I feel part of the ever moving and evolving unseen energy.
The course is done in an organized and coherent manner and the course materials clear and simple to follow. Theodor and team are warm, welcoming and create a lovely sacred space for us. I am thankful to participate in this.

For me, a most valuable aspect of the ABSR course, and what drew me to it, are the correlations drawn and recognised between: Seven Life Processes, Eightfold path, Foundation Stone Meditation rhythms and The Lord’s Prayer (as I have newly learned, Steiner exercises for overcoming nervousness and vowels and planets in eurythmy.
All of this content and insight bring so many gifts, such as inner structure and context, relationship, creativity, life, light, knowledge, connection. Working together with this substance helps us to understand ourselves, where we are and our capacities, giving us strength, awareness, warmth, positivity. Theodor gives such a calm and experienced invitation to connect with the body. The coordination between the many helpers with translation and technology is heartwarming. Admiration and gratitude flow to you.

Taking the ABSR Winter Course 2022 was a blessing indeed. I have never felt deeply touched with the basic Eurythmy Vowels/Diphthongs & archetypal planetary gestures even if I had done Eurythmy with several tutors since my late 20's as a Waldorf Kindergarten Teacher.
I love how Theodor and the team along with medical/scientific snippets from Dr. H. Haas, have warmly thought out and lovingly presented the course each step of the way through the 8 weeks along with the daily exercises corresponding to the 7 Life Processes. Trust was easily built within the participants coming from different parts of the world, hence personal sharing came about in a very deep and truthful way.
I hope to encourage anyone mulling to take this and other courses offered, since even as a newbie to Eurythmy or Steiner's philosophy for that matter, whether coming from the artistic, scientific, business profession, as a Granny, Gardener, Cultural worker, Childminder, Engineer, Reflexologist, full time Parent - everyone will truly benefit and have individualised experience based on what you yourself do - and in fact even if you don't do anything and just observe what is resonating within you. You need not even wait to feel stressed to do the exercises, it just becomes a habit and daily part of your lives even for a short 3mins each time. I became conscious of this even whilst cooking, washing the dishes and doing my normal Mommy/Wife tasks!
The 3 tenets of having HUMOUR - SERENITY - GENEROSITY and the tasks of a) Arriving at oneself, 2) Not getting lost in the task 3) Feeling ourselves and yes even 4) Letting Go - will awaken the different layers of ourselves and bring vitality to our chakra points once we listen closely.
I have done Vipassana and other meditation but because as the name suggests: ACTIVE BASED STRESS RELEASE along with the gentleness yet mindful and lovingly-awakened I-consciousness in approaching ourselves through movement, the more I am convinced this is even more potent. We just need to slowly dive into it and discover for ourselves. The world will be a better and peaceful place if everyone does it! Once again Maraming Salamat/Go raibh mile maith agat and blessings of Spring Solstice to everyone behind Eurythmy4you!!! Slainte!/Prost!

I am having good fun with the exercises. About the horses, for instance, being in front, being behind, I use and teach this all the time, in communicating how to ride, left and right columns, always the opposite streams of energy , streaming down, flowing up, balance kept the middle. No doubt I will come across many more.
All this is important tools to inform and influence the horse, aid synchronisation without disturbing his movement, and without him having to withdraw parts of himself and who he is, in defence of the indelicacy of the rider and the inevitable distortion that occurs by sitting on his back. So, you see, very exiting and interesting.
Eurythmy school / The art of a long life

Ilse, 12/9/2021
As a participant of our 8fold Path course I was astonished to realise the enfolding capacity of the very small and humble introductory exercise.
For me it has become a precious guide in whatever situation and circumstances. It only needs my being aware of the new warmth and creative presence which grow within my soul by solemnly practising 'arriving at myself'.

Lynn 11/30/2021
Thank you everyone from eurythmy4you. Everyday is an initiation as change is accruing daily. The eurythmy helps me to remain mobile in my movement and in my thinking. It helps me to face the difficulties of everyday life, hopefully with more love and honesty. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Lynn

Mark, 6/19/2021
This has been a remarkable eurythmy course. So in tune with what is happening in my life. The relationship with the trees and the planets as well as the journey of inner discovery of that part of myself that makes me so hypersensitive. Instead of trying to dull that sensitivity it is exploring it very subtly. I still have a long way to go but have been given some tools to deal with it. The eurythmy exercises resonate with what is going on. I am so glad it finished with I Think Speech exercises which has been my daily eurythmy practice for the last few years. Thank you Theodor and Annika.

Thank for this lovely gift. It was such a deepening of the zodiac as well as a wonderful and useful curative calming exercise.

Mamonova, 14.6.2021
I have experienced the powerful impact of the Exercises on Internal and External Balance course at all levels. My body has noticeably tightened, the skin has become more elastic and firm. The transition from sleep to wakefulness was long, now it is much faster. I am full of energy all day long. And I feel my body and the world around me more subtly. Thank you Theodore and Anastasia !!!
Lower senses and inner balance

Jan, 11.6.2021
I enjoyed this course and found it included a wide range of gestures and movements to engage the physical with inner activity. Clearly a lot of work has gone into the contents. The instructions and illustrations were very well documented. Theodore created an atmosphere of calm, guiding us through the sequences bringing an beneficial awareness of soul, spirit and body. The commentary enabled us to become conscious of coordinating much more than just the physical body. This course would be suitable for beginners and the more experienced.

Sanda, 9.6.2021
I find the courses so wholesome and they helped me to get a deeper understanding and integration of many exercises I already knew and practiced for many years. I am always looking forward to the lessons and I hope to have many more opportunities to attend.
Many thanks and great appreciation to Theodore and the whole team for your work which is of the highest quality.
Lower senses and inner balance

László, 9.6.2021
I have not had any experience in Eurythmy till my first course with Theodor in the first Covid period. So, although I have some knowledge of Anthroposophy, still, the essence of Eurythmy I have not been familiar with interestingly. Theodor has a very unique style which allows the idea slowly penetrate into you. I think the good expression of my experience is that my understanding or rather my sense of the world of Eurythmy is slowly developing in me – it is as if I am helped to be aware of boundaries of which I have had no idea beforehand. And it is – in my case at least – is not yet through the movements or gestures but through the messages or allusions with which Theodor describes what the “aim” of the movement is. Contradictorily, even just watching it and listening to what is said have the power to give you intuitive understanding.

I had to leave your workshop rather abruptly, but I was glad to get a chance to participate and experience your richly experienced exercises with all their new connections and deep quietude. Refreshment even on screen. Warm thanks to you and your team!

Once I worked with a eurythmist called Ilona Schubert, and how you work reminds me of how she worked, it moved me very much, and brings so much peace, how she seemed to begin always from the heart.  Even knowing nothing at the time, this has been an inner star to find the way.

An adventurous journey into the realms of the autonomic nervous system. To me it was a literal revelation of an unknown territory. A real gift from the Eurythmy4you staff, enwrapped in love, dedication, gentleness and a deep understanding of eurythmy and life. Thanks to all of you !

Lynda, March 22, 2021
Thank you so much. I appreciate it. I am thoroughly enjoying the learning and the experience.

Meri, February 23, 2021
I'm very happy to have participated in the course "Autonomic nervous system"... The spirit of instructions was clear and at the same time very therapeutic. The tone was leading to musical and colourful artistic experiences in a peaceful way. Due to my regrettable bad health during many weeks I was not able to take benefit of all the possible benefits of the exercises immediately, I have been little by little making the exercises according to a suitable time-table. With gratitude for Your efforts to make a wonderful path to health, tranquility and balance. (Autonomic nervous system)

Julie, December 1, 2020
I really recommend Theodor's, and all the team at eurythmy4you's, beautiful and therapeutic work and videos. Theodor expresses and demonstrates all the practice with great clarity so it is easy to follow the live webinars and understand everything. I first started the live webinars 8 months ago and feel enormous benefit in my physical, soul and spirit. It's also great to be able to go back to the videos later and work with one's own needs as they come up (webinar replays). Feeling immediately such benefit from the webinars I also participated in the really wonderful ABSR Stress Release course which was gently life changing in a really balancing, creative, strengthening and healing way (ABSR group course). I really look forward to next year's webinars and courses and with heartfelt gratitude feel it's a great blessing to have found eurythmy4you.

Caroline, December 1, 2020
Hello and good morning. I feel so grateful to have the chance to participate in the course. The exercises make me feel so good and I will make my schedule to do the exercises, starting with lesson 1. And I will find the time to it for one week like explained on the webpage. I am so happy to have the chance to do it from home. In my area does not exist the possibility to practice eurythmy and it makes me feel so good. Many thanks. (Health for the heart)

Marita, June 19, 2020
I started to watch and participate in eurithmy on Mondays and Fridays from May till June. On Mondays to work on  resistance and health and on Fridays with our questions. What I experience through time, I feel more confident, I feel as if a bigger force is carrying me, but also I carry myself! I experience a deep gratitude. The different exercises, I can't “think“ it, but I feel guided by Theodor, with his kind aproach towards the students. I experience more dreams, more hope, my soul feels carried too through the movements and exercises. When I try to understand with my head I can't. I feel really good (even that I am moved by all the sadness in the world and in my life), I feel and know we as humans are an important “tool” for being here and being aware to bring the forces of the infinity and healing forces through us here on earth. I hope you can understand what I write because my English is not very good. I am so grateful! I didnt feel that for a long time! It is like a blessing and “genade” (grace) 🙏🏻 . Thanks Theodor and all the people who made this possible! I really want to join the next course in the fall. Have a nice summer and festival ❤️🙏🏻

Anastasiia, June 19, 2020
For me the ABSR-course has been a real blessing. It had a profound influence on such spheres of my life, where I couldn't have expected it, when I decided to do it. Concerning my health, I definitely became more energetic and the constant tension in my neck, which I felt for the last couple of years, also disappeared .
But the greatest difference is in my relationship with myself. I got so used to constant inner contradictions and conflicts, that I believed them to be normal. Thanks to the course there appeared such a deep inner peace, that is also felt like a kind of clarity, but also emptiness. I don't need to push or struggle with myself any longer. I just go and do. Still, it is a bit embarrassing. Luckily, this "emptiness" is filled with some creative work - I grew very fond of drawing those last weeks, as well as gardening. Each time I go out, it seems to be my first day on the Earth! The shapes, the colors, the smells, the sounds - they astonish me greatly as if I've never seen or heard them before.
I definitely need some time to get used to it, and create my new pace of life and overcome this kind of perplexity. But I'm definitely very glad I did the course and very grateful for that wonderful opportunity - for all the people, who organized and led the course, to the whole E4U team, as well as to everyone who participated and shared their experiences. All of them were very valuable! Thank you many times! (ABSR Group Course)

Anne, June 18, 2020
Thanks a lot, this course is great and so generous and fair. I feel like at the beginning of something important for me but not only, I enjoyed to feel this beautiful group from all around the world,(north, south,east,west...)
The course was supporting me during these weeks and to day I had a strange feeling, like a little lost. But to morrow I will be in!
As an old beginner the exercises stay very clear in my head and make sense in my daily life, the eurythmy exercises are powerfull and create deep connections. But sometimes I feel confused, I need time and practice. (So many informations and exercises I feel like I can do the course again) .
Also Theodor a special gratitude for what you bring in this last module I feel like it will support me for the next weeks. Abraço grande e ate ja. (ABSR Group Course)

Katherine, June 17, 2020
I managed to do all the modules and exercise noticing that the first part was much easier than the last modules where the exercises are more subtle and turn very much into an inward space. I had no problems doing my handwriting excercises or where I have put something or speaking whole poems backwards.
I noticed that I was quite stingy with myself when doing the eurythmy exercises, always thinking ' OK , now you`ve done your bit, don't overdo it'. The week of denying yourself small wishes, I thought I would sail through 'easy peasy' and met a whole "Being of desire and conflict" within myself (which I unfortunately succumbed to as well !) I wrote a humorous poem about myself that week.
And so on ..... discovering the weak places.... O man, know thyself!
I experienced the Vowels as great forming forces which give one stability and direction and the whole course as very supportive in this very, very difficult time. No word of the world's situation was talked about which was wonderful for, I think, obvious reasons and our true striving could carry on peacefully and quietly in this space. This virtual world that we were all in was a new experience for many of us and I experienced it as very intimate and focused.
It would have been nice to see a picture of all the participants who took part in the course.
The whole structure was very well done and the access was good.
These exercises are treasures and gems, pure Gold and are so little known about. Steiner at his best in many ways. I also participate every year in communal painting projects which take place over 40 days. This time it was also Virtual and there can be no doubt that spiritual communities can develop in virtual space. I think that in all this, we are in the age of Michael who stands closest to us in our human strivings. In this sense, such a course has reached many people and we have connected through our common striving. Thank you very much for all your work and efforts! (ABSR Group Course)

Konstantina, June 16, 2020
I wasn't familiar with Eurythmy, though I had been studying Rudolf Steiner's books for many years and helped also with biodynamic agriculture. March and April the situation here in New York had been really difficult. March (like many other people around me) I developed some health issues and spent a whole month really suffering.
In an effort to do something about it, I started searching for therapeutic classes / seminars online and somewhere saw the ABSR Eurythmy Program. Two weeks later, following the instructions and practicing every day, my symptoms had disappeared. What I think had changed inside me specifically (within two weeks) was my attitude towards the reality here. I felt that from deception I walked into light!
The third week I started feeling more confident, in the forth week I started feeling joy, in the fifth week peace. I really never thought it would be so effective doing exercises. I feel grateful that I was given this opportunity to experience Eurythmy and specifically this program. Theodor helped me to grasp the meaning behind every exercise and also made me realize the importance of doing the general exercises. I still have a way to go but this experience was a new start for me. Thank you also Monica for all your support. In additional I'd like to say that the whole program was very well organized. Also a great feeling that I was part of a whole group! I'm looking forward to participate in other programs of yours in the future. (ABSR Group Course)

Michèle, June 16, 2020
I am a eurythmist from London, and I have had immense pleasure in doing this course. I found it very inspiring to work in this deepening capacity with tools that I already possess yet never seem to know enough. This course motivates me to enter my work differently and inspires me to fill my teaching with renewed wisdom and inspiration. Thank you so much Theodor for your gentle yet, imaginative, caring yet powerful approach. I have enjoyed this very much. xxx (ABSR Group Course)

Mieke, May 26, 2020
I really enjoy the sessions, although I have been a eurythmist for many years.
It is wonderful to see someone else at work. Everyone has own ideas and I find that refreshing and stimulating. One never stops learning.

Patti, May 10, 2020
When the COVID-19 stay at home started here in New York, I found the Monday and Friday classes for immunity strengthening and resilience. I gained much from the exercises, the sense of world community and from Theodor's clear way of explaining through the video medium. The pace, clarity and insight of the exercises unfolded in a health-giving way over the weeks I attended the classes. I added the exercises to my own daily practice; and found I could deepen these exercises more than I had in previous experiences.
As a eurythmy teacher who has now had to teach through video myself, I appreciate how Theodor has understood the medium and uses its particular conditions in a positive way. In particular, the graphics added by his able tech support help in visualizing movement streams and deepening the work. The whole experience of the class - including the management of the chat option and the sharing of the video link afterwards - make staying connected to the eurythmy more possible. I recommend these offerings for trained eurythmists as well as those new to the world of eurythmy.

Gerd, May 8th 2019
Half a year ago, I had a cerebral haemorrhage (and resulting stroke) - I'm still in the rehabilitation phase - and then came the invitation do to the ABSR-evaluation course with the great videos. Although I have already done some eurythmy privately with some eurythmy therapists, and also in the context of study at the Goetheanum, but not with a focus on Eurythmy Therapy. The first few weeks already do me very good on several levels. I’ve connected to eurythmy again. The addition of exercises from „Nervous conditions in our time" is wonderfully harmonious.

 
Claar, December 28th 2018
It does me so good to practice a little every day. More than 20 years ago I completed my eurythmy studies and I’ve since worked in a Waldorf school. After a break of almost 10 years, I’ve started to recapture my body again. With the help of the videos the experiences are intense and I feel the healing and perceptive power. Such good work!

Simone, December 28th 2018
At this point I would like to thank you for providing these very high quality tutorial films. The films have helped me with my entry into Eurythmy so far. I have not met the extremely precise description and execution of exercises in this way before and I appreciate that very much! My favourite exercise & meditation is the "The power of health" (course Eurythmic Meditations Eurythmic Meditations), also a very well done video.

Other ABSR course participants, April-June 2019

It helps to decelerate, is built up well, is easily understandable and has many wonderful ideas. I love this course because it allows me to feel my body and to capture perceptions using the eurythmic movements.

The everyday exercises are thought-provoking tasks that help me to make everyday life positive.

It broadens my horizons, providing a lot of helpful exercises. It’s the first course I’ve done online ... and it was very good, I would repeat it anytime.

It's worth it because the course surprises you. It has a well-founded form of spirituality which brings you into a very differentiated body consciousness through real, honest inquiry into your own being, using the aesthetic art of eurythmy. It provides a deep understanding of the vowels A, E, I, O, U, and how their essentials become alive and give healing through eurythmy. Powers of mind, such as thinking, feeling, and willing, are intensified. There are short lectures on completely essential inter-relationships in life. The course provides easy-to-understand content for coping with stress which can be used immediately. The daily exercises increase awareness and perception. I think it's just as interesting for newcomers as it is for people with more background in self-development.

For me, it's the best and most concrete guidance and exercise series I've ever used to get from a "head" to a "heart-listening" view of the world. It helped me experience my ego in the body and also in interaction with the "forces of the surroundings". In today's troubled and uncertain times, it is a great help for me to re-establish the already almost forgotten basic trust.

The ABSR course is a real help to stay tuned to the practice process. Have often tried, on my own initiative, but never been able to get as far as with this course. The instructions are very helpful, particularly because they’re so specific. Often, it's the small details that matter, that help an exercise to be successful e.g. the procedure of making decisions from the heart as opposed to from the gut feeling. I find this method of practice a great help for organizing my own life.

If you get involved in this course, you can only win. You don’t have to have any prior knowledge of eurythmy or Rudolf Steiner. If you stick with it - but without pressure, abilities steadily develop at various levels. I find it incredible and extremely rewarding.

The course helped me to be more mindful within my body and environment.

The course helped me to look at my behaviour, towards myself and others in daily life, and to change it.

The course encouraged and challenged me to take time for the exercises and thus for myself. The careful, calm introduction to the exercises has served me well. It was usually a nourishing break combined with the awareness that, with some continuous action, much can be achieved for one's own well-being.

Anyone seeking orientation for the essentials in our materialistic time and who wishes to strengthen their essential being as a safeguard in the vagaries of life, receives reliable guidance in this course.

It is worthwhile to do the spiritual practice of eurythmy and the daily exercises to feel stress free vitality and strength in the body again.

Offering concrete exercises in two fields, this course gives me something that is easy to incorporate into eve-ryday life. Especially in this combination it helps one to gain increased attention, strength with inner peace and balance. That really surprised me a lot!

The course greatly helps to build a habit of practice, which is difficult to do on your own without any support. It was amazing that my tiredness disappeared by doing the eurythmy exercises. Like snow in the sun! The intro-ductions by Dr. Harald Haas threw some light on the effectiveness of the exercises. I gained insight in the func-tioning of body and mind, and how the exercises can help to work on my main non-constructive patterns. The presentations of the daily exercise by Pascale Fischli made them attractive, realistic and possible to do. I am happy with the course and will certainly continue. The demos are great. I have discovered where there is more work to do.... I will continue, with a milder attitude towards myself.

Practicing is fun because the change is quickly noticeable.

Take time for yourself. You will be guided in many interesting ways, to feel your centre, expand, and strengthen yourself.

I again dare to calm down, the pressure to survive loses its compulsion. Long past and seemingly unreachable fright, fear, and shock have lost their power.

It's not worth doing ABSR exercises right now, they have not shown any effect on stress. I can imagine, however, when working consequently with "mindfulness" in dealing with inner experiences, that the strengthening effect of self-perception and the effects of the eurythmy therapy could establish themselves. We cannot tell the cli-ents what they are to feel, we can only lead them to experiences. To simply hear the course and so comprehend it from the two-dimensional view, without thinking too hard about what to imitate, would be a first step in a health-giving direction.

This online course is a great gift for me to familiarize myself, through the eurythmic exercises, with the profound meaning and expressive possibilities of movement and sound. It extends my ability to understand and creates the space to rebalance my body. The everyday exercise invites you to step out of the familiar and find yourself in a more complete and authentic way. I find the instruction, for both the eurythmy as well as the everyday exercises, well conducted and inviting. I hope that many people may benefit and thus better maintain and strengthen their inner and outer spaces. Thank you very much for your wonderful commitment.

The ABSR course is an ingenious exercise sequence for anyone who wants to do something effective in terms of self-education or self-care.

The daily practice brings success. The visual and auditory guidance ensures that I can do the exercises properly and calmly. With PC or mobile phone, I can practice it anywhere, saving me time to harmonize in the evening.

For me, this course is a real cure. It gave me strength and inner serenity. Through this I could finally free myself from habits that I had wanted to do away with, without success, for years.
