This course will form a unique part of the ongoing poetics curriculum at the Eurythmy Spring Valley. In light of the current Raphael exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC, we will explore the wholeness that arises through a contemplation of the figures of Raphael (1483–1520) and Novalis (1772-1801). The life and poetry of Novalis will stand at the center of our exploration.


Clifford Venho is an editor, translator, and eurythmist. He serves as Managing Editor for SteinerBooks, where he edits the Collected Works of Rudolf Steiner. He is a former member of the Eurythmy Spring Valley Ensemble, and teaches courses in poetics and eurythmy.
