Apparently, we're doing this again... A little while ago, I put myself (and several others) through Rudolf Steiner’s Six Fundamental Exercises for my own (spiritual) scientific research. And, (somewhat inconveniently), this meant I had to actually do them myself. As someone who has spent a fair bit of time teaching these exercises — and enthusiastically telling other people how important they are — you might assume that I have now incorporated them into my life with the consistency, discipline and spiritual dignity of a highly evolved Aussie battler. 😂 No. Because apparently my spiritual development tends to go something like this: Day 1: "Right. This is it. From today: New me." Day 4: "I wonder what happened to that thing I was supposed to be doing..." Day 12: “Pass me another dorito please captain Netflix“ And so on. Actually, if I’m really honest I’m over playing this a bit to make a point. I did actually get better at this over the last few months. But anyway, the good news is that the first challenge was actually brilliant. Not because I suddenly became über-clairvoyant, saintly or capable of controlling my thoughts (or anyone else’s) for more than a short time. But because doing the exercises with other people made a huge difference to my motivation, accountability and understanding. There is something about knowing that a group of people are also attempting to pay attention, regulate their emotions, strengthen their will and generally become slightly less at the mercy of whatever nonsense their minds are producing that day. So... We're going again. Over the course of six days (starting 31.8.26) , we'll work through Rudolf Steiner's Six Fundamental Exercises together. One exercise at a time, no pressure to be perfect. No requirement to wear Buddha-esque faces and no need to become an Archangel by Thursday. Just a group of us attempting to practise some remarkably simple — and, I would argue, profoundly important — exercises for the development of a healthy and balanced soul life.

For the first time in a long time, I'm going to be offering free 1 -1 Spiritual Clarity Sessions again (on zoom). For those interested, the booking link is below. I aim to create a gentle, sacred space where the deeper aspects of life can arise. The session can help you gain clarity and insight into: - Where you are right now in your life - What spiritual questions/strivings you're living with - What may be trying to emerge or change or call to you from the future - What your next steps might be The session is more about listening to what is emerging from the deeper soul and spirit rather than information. Book your free session here Warm wishes Mick (I'm thinking of moving towards my original name "Michael" but I'm not being dogmatic about it 😉)

Thank you for being here!!! And a very warm welcome to the community. I'd be really interested to hear what brought you here, what kind of things you would like to see here in the Spiritual Scientist Community (topics, videos, courses, discussions etc). The group is still fairly new and I'm still getting used to this platform. Please let me know in the comments below and feel free to introduce yourself. JOIN OUR LIVE GROUP SESSIONS! We have 2 "Living Spiritually" Sessions each week where I bring a spiritual scientific theme, give a short talk and then we bring it to life with discussion, real life examples and meditative work. It's very enlivening! These sessions are for members in the "premium tier" (sorry for the corporate sounding name, I can't change it!) which is $29 per month (cancel anytime) or $290 per year. The sessions take place on: Thursdays at 10am UK time (7pm Melbourne) and 5pm UK time (12pm EST - US)
