Welcome to Escuela de Gracia
At Escuela de Gracia, your soul will bloom. Through our exploration of Eurythmy you will learn to make the formative force of speech visible by sculpting the space around you as a sculptor models clay. In graceful, choreographed full-body movement you will learn to reveal the streaming light quality of musical tone by reaching to the stars where these tones originate.
A Path Forward
We offer Eurythmy for our contemporary time, remaining faithful to Rudolf Steiner’s introduction of this new art in the early twentieth century. Eurythmy seeks to make the invisible aspects of the world visible through joyful, active, artistic movement. Just as a musician plays the violin or flute, the Eurythmist develops, tunes, and learns to master their body, soul, and spirit as their instrument. Eurythmy reunites us with the living forces of nature, bringing balance to the hardening forces of our materialistic culture, gracing the soul with greater flexibility.
WHY STUDY EURYTHMY?
Eurythmy is the antidote to today’s increasingly materialistic culture. Our modern way of life can leave us feeling “bent out of shape” in body, soul, and spirit. The movement and gestures you will learn in the Artistic Eurythmy Foundation Year create vitality, tranquility, and general well-being. They provide you with the tools to sculpt yourself into a free being able to pursue your destiny, and transform your given circumstances into a future that you love.
Rudolf Steiner offered a spiritual path of knowledge toward freedom for all humanity. He brought ancient gifts of wisdom from the East to those in the West seeking a modern path to the spirit. Escuela de Gracia brings Rudolf Steiner’s artistic impulse, as originally embodied in the first Goetheanum, from the Northern to the Southern hemisphere in the Americas to make it available to all.
