What Am I? Why Am I here? What Can I Do? – With Dr. Kenneth McAlister, Week 2
We will explore the challenging themes of identity and meaning didactically and experientially, out of perspectives drawn from anthroposophy. Each of the five daily topics will offer a different approach to understanding ourselves, demonstrating how much the Universe has given to us of Itself. What is our part? Why would I play?
• Breaking the spell that matter is primary. Are we really ‘Dust in the Wind’?
Are we alone?
• How layers of our make-up offer qualitatively different experiences of consciousness on who we are and what we can do
• What about karma? Is it possible in this complicated world? Are the stars and
planets really involved so directly?
• The imaginative mystery path of Fairy Tales
• The Logos and me
Kenneth McAlister B.A., M.D. has sought for many decades to enliven the conventional framework of medicine and institutional life with the wisdom and practicality of anthroposophy. As a certified anthroposophical doctor, he has expanded his medical approaches to include anthroposophic remedies, nutrition, artistic and movement therapies, and meditation applied according to each individual presentation. He worked to formally establish a place for Integrative Medicine within the allopathic context of general practice. For over 25 years he was active in establishing and nurturing Hesperus Fellowship Community, dedicated to person-centered care of the elderly. He enjoys music, composing, writing, gardening and travel.
