Franz Schubert: Ave Maria
When Schubert’s Ave Maria begins to sound, it is as if time itself softens. The music opens an inner space where soul and world breathe together. We are drawn into reverence, into listening—and into a deeper movement: one that invites us to walk an inner path.Our weekend workshop brings together Eurythmy, Tone Eurythmy, meditative study, and spiritual conversation. We will follow the thread of Schubert's Ave Maria into the presence of three feminine archetypes—the Three Madonnas, or Three Mothers—and their living connection to the soul's journey through the Nine Layers of the Earth, as described in esoteric spiritual science.

🕯️ Workshop Place and Atmosphere
This weekend offers a shared inner process. We will move. We will listen. We will speak and stay silent. We will open space to feel what lives between the tones of Schubert’s Ave Maria, and what is born when we try to follow and move it from within.
You do not need any prior knowledge of Eurythmy. What matters is the desire to listen, to move with meaning, and to take part in a shared, sincere exploration of music, soul, and the depth of the Feminine Earth.
The workshop takes place at Marjatta-Koulu, which offers the ideal surrounding for this endeavour.
MARJATTA-KOULU, Poutuntie 12, 00400 Helsinki
✨ The Three Madonnas — Archetypes of Soul and Earth
Throughout the weekend, we will return again and again to the feminine archetypes that guide and shape the soul’s journey:
-
The Young Madonna – the light-filled gaze of innocence.
She greets the soul as it enters the world, carrying the brightness of the upper realms: ether, sound, and weightlessness. Her gesture is one of sacred receptivity – tender, open, and new. In Schubert’s Ave Maria, she shines in the pure, ascending invocation: gratia plena… -
The Middle Madonna – silent compassion in the heart of suffering.
She stands beneath the Cross, not speaking, but bearing. In the middle layers of the Earth and soul, where conflict, trial, and transformation unfold, she holds space with quiet strength. In the music, she breathes through the deepening harmonies and rising melodic arches – shaping beauty through pain. -
The Black Madonna – the radiant one of the deep.
She dwells in the lowest layers of the Earth – where fear, guilt, and death are faced. Yet she is not dark from absence, but because she holds the fullness of what must become light. She is the guardian of transformation, the power that does not condemn, but transmutes. In Schubert’s music, she resounds in the gravity of minor keys, in the solemn rhythm, in the echo that lingers. She is the presence that embraces even the deepest shadow – and leads it toward compassion.
Their presence will guide our movement and meditation as we pass through the Nine Earth Layers, which mirror our inner descent and transformation—from the living mineral layer through regions of fragmentation, opposition, and finally toward moral rebirth.
👥 Workshop Leaders
Nita Matchalov and Laura Pellinen will guide the group on site. They are young dedicated eurythmy students from Helsinki. In addition to their formal studies, they are certified leaders of the Eurythmy4you HSP course and have shown a deep personal commitment to spiritual movement work and the question of the feminine in our time.
They have taken on a significant responsibility: to lead the artistic development of Ave Maria at our upcoming Sugdidi Peace Festival in Georgia. There, they will guide an international team of over 30 people in creating a two-voiced tone eurythmy performance that weaves together movement, meaning, and presence.Working with a group that includes both eurythmists and non-eurythmists will enrich their experience and open up new perspectives. This is not only a bold step artistically, but also an opportunity for them to grow into a task that calls for both leadership and inner maturity.
The Helsinki workshop is a special moment on that path. It is their first opportunity to share this work in depth with a public group. As participants, you will be among the first to receive the fruits of their research: the emerging choreography, the spiritual depth of mindful movement, the questions they are living with. In a way, you are being invited into a space where something truly new is being born.
This event also serves as a fundraiser for the Sugdidi Peace Festival, where their work will unfold further. We are proud to stand beside them, and grateful for their trust in taking on this challenge. Their sincerity, sensitivity, and thoughtful leadership offer something that touches — quietly, but clearly — the heart of what eurythmy can become today.
Theodor Hundhammer and Ilse Hönig will join via Zoom.
Ilse Hönig has been part of Eurythmy4you from the very beginning. She brings her quiet, contemplative strength to the workshop — offering meditative insights on the Three Madonnas, the Earth layers, and the mystery of inner transformation. Her video reflections on Kolchis and the Golden Fleece offer a glimpse into the spiritual geography that underlies this project.
Theodor Hundhammer, founder of Eurythmy4you, will guide participants through deeper layers of spiritual eurythmy, with a focus on the inner journey through the esoteric Earth layers. His work opens up pathways of perception where movement becomes a bridge between soul and cosmos.
