Courses for Parents

The course leaders will work together to develop the well-established ABSR exercises in such a way that parents can participate in the 8-week course online or on-site and do the exercises as designed for adults themselves. At the same time, they will be shown how they can do similar playful exercises with their children so that they are part of the process in a free and creative way.

These courses should improve the health and stress situation of the parents, support the child in its specific challenges (health, trauma, or high sensitivity), and increase the bond between parents and children in a healing way.

Eurythmy for the World

During the week, we aim to do a lot of eurythmy to improve artistic creativity, and to  convey eurythmy with confidence and inner truth. At the end of the week, we will present what we have developed during the week to the public during a public eurythmy day with eurythmy and ABSR workshops for adults and children.

The day will conclude with a demonstration of the eurythmy pieces we have been working on in German, English, and Russian, as well as tone eurythmy. This will be completed by pieces performed by professional eurythmists from Georgia and our team.

East-West Peace Project

A third objective is to unite our Russian, Ukrainian, German, and English-speaking course leaders in a peace project during a time when such encounters are rarely possible. We have chosen Sugdidi, as Russian is well understood in this area, and also our Ukrainian team member speak Russian very well. We know that this can be a challenge, but we are all ready do our best.

Shaping the Future

Eurythmy4you cannot yet offer free invitations to its team. Nevertheless, we feel not only the urge but also the potential to bring eurythmy in a new and meaningful way. This project in Sugdidi will again be an important step forward to reach this goal over time.

Painting Workshop with Nisha Halai

The Story of the Golden Fleece

An Online Colour Journey with Soft Pastels on Paper

The workshop will be held in English.

The story of the Golden Fleece is part of the Greek epic "Jason and the Argonauts."

• When we set sail together to obtain the Golden Fleece – what within us seeks to be transformed?
• How does the Fleece feel in our lives – and around us?

In this workshop, we artistically explore our courage for personal and social development.

First, Nisha Halai, a therapeutic arts practitioner from Aberdeen, will tell a shortened version of the story.

Afterwards, we dive into an artistic process guided by her, each of the two workshops focusing on a special part of the story — where you can also discover your own journey.

Nisha will guide you step by step through your own personal journey.

You’ll create a mood with colours on paper and, over time, discover figures and scenes.

You’ll experience this path from formlessness to form as a gift that gradually reveals itself.

At the end, we’ll look at our work together, and share impressions, thoughts, and questions that may continue to accompany us.

There are two workshops, which you can attend independently.

Interview with Dr. Simone Helmle

The interview will be conducted by Marina Kuznetsova, course leader at Eurythmy4you. It is part of our Eurythmy4you project in Sugdidi, which focuses on the transformative power of eurythmy for personal development, society, and the future of the Earth.

Together with Dr. Simone Helmle, we will explore important questions of our time. Come to the interview and discover what agriculture can mean for the future of the world.

Experience an exciting conversation and ask your questions. If you can't attend personally, you will receive a recording. We would be grateful for any voluntary donations. You can see the current status of donations at the bottom of this page.

Simone Helmle, born in 1969, is a farmer and sociologist. With her young company, Bildungsmomente, she is active in training for managers, business start-ups, social art and development support. She is interested in people and the development of their inherent potential.

For over 30 years, Simone has worked with people in agriculture. She studied horticulture at the Technical University of Munich, where she was introduced to agricultural sociology. It was with this field that she began asking questions about the people living a life with agriculture. Trips to Brazil and São Tomé and Príncipe in West Africa deepened this interest. In her PhD and habilitation, she focused on social issues in innovation and transformation processes in agriculture and rural areas.

In 2014, Simone decided to switch from science to practice. She followed the call from the Demeter Federal Association to establish an academy within the context of biodynamic farming. In 2022/2023, she led the pioneer phase of the project "Resilient Leadership – A Master’s Course for Biodynamic Horticulture and Agriculture."

Currently, Simone is preparing new educational projects aimed at communication that moves people and helps them overcome inner boundaries. For this, she founded her own company, Bildungsmomente, in January 2025.

Simone combines professional learning with personal development. Her approaches to learning include topics such as Topic-Centered Interaction, non-directive counseling, change management, and the approach of the seven life and learning processes.

Simone creates spaces for reflection, encounter, and exchange. She designs learning as a process that is similar to the germination process of a plant. Something starts to move, there are moments when form and solidity dissolve and new, very individual substance is formed.

Interview with Dr. Michaela Glöckler

The interview is conducted by Marina Kuznetsova, course leader at Eurythmy4you. It is part of our Eurythmy4you project in Sugdidi, which focuses on the transformative power of eurythmy for personal development, for society, and for the future of the Earth.

Experience an exciting conversation and ask your questions. If you cannot attend in person, you will receive a recording. We are happy about voluntary donations. You can see the current status of donations at the bottom of this page.

Together with Dr. Glöckler, we explore important questions of our time:

• What are the special characteristics of our time – and how can eurythmy help people today?
• What significance does eurythmy have in light of salutogenesis – that is, a healthy way of life?
• Why do the ABSR courses (Anti-Stress Course) and HSP (for Highly Sensitive People) help people find themselves?
• Highly sensitive people – what observations and thoughts does Michaela Glöckler have about this group that she would like to share with us?
• What “safety techniques” for exercises in front of a screen does Michaela Glöckler recommend? There is an opinion among eurythmists that online eurythmy is impossible. But from our experience, many people in different parts of the world have already discovered eurythmy as a real help through this medium.

This conversation is much more than an interview – it is an inspiring contribution to the question of how we as human beings can live healthy, awake, and compassionate lives amidst the challenges of our time.

It is aimed at therapists, educators, parents, highly sensitive people – and anyone who is looking for inner guidance and new vitality.

Join us and ask your questions! Let yourself be strengthened by the impulses of a wise and courageous woman.

A Generous Gift

Ilse Hönig and her daughter Helene Roitinger are donating their Large Soprano Lyre by Lothar Gärtner! The current new price for such a Large Gärtner Soprano Lyre (polished) is over 4,850 Euros.

This large soprano lyre from the workshop of Lothar Gärtner carries a special story within it.

In the summer of 1980, it was personally selected by Gudrun Jenny, a pioneer of Waldorf education, at Lothar Gärtner’s workshop. On her journey to Konstanz by Lake Constance, she was accompanied by Ilse (37) and her children Martin (12) and Helene (8).

With her powerful presence and inspiring spirit, Gudrun shaped the lives of many children and adults; her humor and her lyre were always by her side. Her choice back then was a soprano lyre with dark, lustrous wood, a soft sound, and fine overtones — clear in expression and warm in fullness. It accompanied Gudrun through many years of lyre teaching.

Upon her retirement, Gudrun handed over the lyre teaching to her student, Ilse’s daughter Helene. She was able to work fruitfully with Ilse for a few more years. Now lovingly cared for by Ilse, the lyre awaits someone to bring it back to life.

Now Ilse feels it’s the right time to pass it on — as a gift to Eurythmy4you, to help make the peace project in Georgia possible.

Option 1: Donate the Lyre for Music Therapy Work with Alla’s Team

By donating this Gärtner lyre, you’ll give it the chance to start a new journey — for a good cause. Donate 1,500 Euros and we’ll send the lyre to Odessa, even if others would offer more to buy it for themselves!

If you’d like to donate the lyre to Odessa, please send an email to: info@eurythmy4you.com

If the video doesn’t play, please try a different browser.

Option 2: Acquire the Lyre for Yourself or an Institution Near You

Would you like to learn to play the lyre yourself, or refresh your playing? Is there a therapeutic facility, Waldorf kindergarten, or curative education institution nearby? Don’t hesitate to acquire this special lyre for a good cause — and name your offer.

Our desired price is 2,000 Euros. But since its value is much higher due to its unique story and as a supporter of the Eurythmy Peace Project, you are welcome to offer more. If your budget doesn’t allow, you’re also welcome to try with less.

Send your offer to: info@eurythmy4you.com

Let this soul-warming lyre resonate again and help make our project a reality.

All proceeds from this action go entirely to our peace project in Sugdidi, where we’ll develop new course elements that can benefit the whole family.
