The healthy social life is found
when in the mirror of each human soul
the whole community finds its reflection,
and when in the community
the virtue of each one is living.
This is the Motto of Social Ethic.
-Rudolf Steiner

Weaving Words of Love:
Exploring the Madonna Series with Empathy and Poetry
Welcome to the Madonna Series meditation, a sequence of fifteen images, predominantly paintings by Raphael, arranged in a particular sequence, with many healing qualities. Learn about the history of this meditation, the form of the pentagram and the I-being of Rapahel. Deepen your practice of devotion, the art of seeing, and new ways to work with these images in your daily life.
Join us as we explore the practices of looking, listening and engaging with sacred art through the faculty of empathy. Hear some of my poems and prayers to the Madonna and discover how you too can create your own poems to the Mother and Child, offer them up as a prayer, and open a door to writing as a spiritual practice. No experience necessary. Come with a paper and pen, and an open heart.
Christine Summerfield discovered the Madonna Series many years ago, as a young mother, in Vancouver, BC. It has awakened in her a deep love for the mysteries of esoteric Christianity and the divine Feminine. She has been active in the world of Anthroposophy since 1991, as a student, mother, Waldorf Early Childhood teacher, Simplicity Parenting coach, and art instructor for the Gradalis Institute. She now spends her time writing nature stories and poems for children, teaching needle felting classes and creating her own wool paintings. Her self-published children’s books include: A Boy and His Tree, The Secrets of the Dandelions, Dancing with Dragons and The Cherry Tree Carol. Her newest book is The Madonna Series: Poems & Prayers to the Madonna. Her other interests include reading, walking, biodynamics, eurythmy, astrosophy, celebrating festivals, and spending time with family and friends. You can find her in her garden, her studio or at www.wiselilystories.com.
