Looking Back, Looking Forward: The Janus Gesture at the Turning of the Year
Born out of a deep interest in Anthroposophy and the human soul, a "Janus Meeting" takes place in several locales every January, just after the turning of the year. In an atmosphere of friendship and trust, we take the first quarter hour to get acquainted, then each individually looks at the year past, and makes a representation either visually, in words or any other artistic representation. We share these pieces and have a time to comment and appreciate. After this, for a shorter time, we also make an artistic representation of the year to come. We end with a verse and a blessing for the new year. Janus, the god who looks into the future and holds the past- is heralded!
All Anthroposophy Holy Nights presentations are free of charge. Registration is necessary, however, and donations are very much appreciated
