Earth Consciousness
The picture is an image of stars falling out of the sky as snow and then falling to earth as crystals. From the point of view of alchemy my thinking is creative when it is focused on the cosmic or starry dimension of my life. That is the source of solutions to my issues. Alchemically,…

A Periphery / Center Exercise

Storm of the Centry 1979
The atmosphere is a river of air flowing above our heads in ceaseless meandering currents and eddies.

The Dynamics of Healing
In this lecture, Dennis explores human physiology and the process of healing from an anthroposophical perspective.
The Heart of Communication: Tone, Trust, and Owning the Misunderstanding
This talk explores the heart of communication: learning to listen without “jamming” the other person, so real dialogue can happen. You will learn why tone carries more impact than content, and how trust rises or collapses based on the feeling underneath the words. Through practical tools like “owning the misunderstanding” (I-messages), avoiding blame-based “you-messages,” and using simple reset signals when conversations heat up, you will leave with a clear method for de-escalation and clarity. The evening includes a guided partner exercise that turns miscommunication into collaboration, even when ideas feel hard to name. Ideal for communities, couples, parents, and teams who want less conflict, more honesty, and a stronger container for shared life.
