From the Netherlands comes this remarkable book, primarily directed to teachers, but for everyone, that addresses the modern phenomenon of burnout. It describes the symptoms and prescribes exercises to build up life forces to recover from burnout. Better yet, the exercises help to prevent burnout in the first place! With years of experience and wisdom behind her, author Annejet Rümke, leads us through effective practices for mental, spiritual and physical health in matters of the heart and of day-to-day work. The book is one of a kind and invaluable because of this. In the giving professions like teaching, counseling, care taking, and healing, the danger is to give so much of ourselves that we do not notice when we need our own replenishing. To build strength in reciprocation and compassion is the goal, and here, at last are ideas for this building. For those caring professionals this book is a must read. You will not regret it!
Created in 1911, eurythmy was developed for years as an artistic and educational discipline. Although Rudolf Steiner pointed out its healing aspects from the very beginning, it was only in 1921 that he gave a course of lectures that gave the art of eurythmy a vital new application. To the assembled eurythmists and doctors, he presented what one participant described as '...a complete and detailed method of eurythmy therapy, in which we could directly experience that even today the creative and therapeutic power of the word ... is still at work'.Steiner's comprehensive lectures, republished here in a thoroughly revised translation, describe the principles of therapeutic eurythmy, giving many ...

"You might think there is little new to say about Venice, but Cees Nooteboom strolls down many under-explored alleyways in the city, his insights coloured by his knowledge of art and literature as welll as his past experiences . . . Witty and meditative by turns, the overall effect is like being shown around by a wonderfully self-effacing, but impressively erudite guide" The Sunday Times BOOKS OF THE YEAR "Nooteboom has achieved the impossible: to say something new about the ageless city about which everything has been said" ALBERTO MANGUEL "The whole book is the illuminating testimony of a man who cannot look away and so sees things that others, even those with more specialist knowledge, ha...
Rudolf Steiner's spiritual philosophy is the inspiration for many successful initiatives in the world today, from the international Waldorf school movement to biodynamic agriculture and its increasingly popular produce. Steiner developed his philosophy in dozens of books and thousands of lectures. His teaching contains dozens of cutting-edge concepts and ideas, and as a result he had often to create his own vocabulary. In this practical volume--intended as a companion to his Anthroposophy: A Concise Introduction to Rudolf Steiner's Spiritual Philosophy--Henk van Oort provides concise definitions of many terms and concepts in Steiner's worldview, from the most commonplace to the more obscure....
Europe was forged out of the ashes of the Napoleonic wars by means of a collective fight against revolutionary terror. The Allied Council created a culture of in- and exclusion, of people that were persecuted and those who were protected, using secret police, black lists, border controls and fortifications, and financed by European capital holders.
Eva, a 1927 novel by Dutch writer Carry van Bruggen, is an experiment in depicting a woman’s life from girlhood to marriage, and beyond, to sexual freedom and independence. At the same time, the narrative expresses Eva’s dawning sense of self and expanding subjectivity through a stream of consciousness told by a shifting narrator. Burdened all of her life by feelings of shame, at the end of the novel Eva overcomes this legacy of her upbringing and declares that it is ‘bodily desire that makes love acceptable’. Carry van Bruggen’s rich and varied language conveys Eva’s experience of the world. Powerful memories of an orthodox Jewish childhood pervade the novel with its fluid sense...
