Find Your Space to Become | 走進內在的寬闊的世界

Life is busy, the mind is scattered. We're constantly pushed forward by demands and expectations, yet we rarely pause to ask ourselves: What do I truly need?

This workshop isn't about giving you more information—it's about walking with you to rediscover your inner anchor. Through the guidance of Steiner's 《How to Know Higher Worlds》, along with practical exercises and dialogue, you'll reconnect with the quiet, clear, and powerful self within.

Give yourself a chance to step into the vast world within.

生活忙碌，內心紛亂，我們總是被各種要求和期待推著向前，卻很少停下來問自己：我真正需要的是什麼？

這場工作坊，不是要給你更多的資訊，而是要陪你找回內在的定錨。透過史代納的著作《如何認識更高層世界》的引導，以及實際的練習與對話，你將重新連結那個安靜、清晰、有力量的自己。

給自己一個機會，走進內在的寬闊世界。

Core Inspiration | 課程核心 

Inspired by two classics—Rudolf Steiner's《How to Know Higher Worlds》and Goethe's 《Faust》. Drawn from these two works, we'll embark on an inward journey, through a series of guided awareness exercises, quieting the mind to feel the vastness and depth within. Life's richness and inner peace interweave, like day and night in turn, mirroring and completing each other.

Together we'll step into the perspective of anthroposophy, learning a way of living that is both rooted in the everyday and open to the spiritual—quietly cultivating the fertile ground within, amid the warp and weft of daily life, so that growth need not stray from the noise, and transformation need not depart from life. This is a path of turning inward within action, of quietly blooming within stillness—gentle yet steadfast, suited to anyone who longs to find balance and strength in a restless world.

靈感來自兩部經典——魯道夫·史代納的《如何認識更高層世界》與歌德的《浮士德》。受這兩部作品的啟發，我們將展開一場向內的旅程，透過一連串引導式的覺知練習，靜下心來，感受自己內心那片寬廣與深度。生命的多采與內心的平靜相互交融，如同晝夜交替，彼此映照，彼此圓滿。

我們將一同走入人智學的視野，學習一種既扎根於日常、又向靈性敞開的生活方式——在現實生活的經緯之間，安靜地耕耘內在的沃土，讓成長不必遠離喧囂，蛻變也無須背離生活。這是一條在行動中向內觀照、在靜默中悄然綻放的道路，溫柔而堅定，適合每一個渴望在紛擾世界中尋得平衡與力量的你。

Course Format | 課程形式

In-person sessions × 7 (9am – 4pm) | Conducted in English

Teacher Martin will weave together theoretical instruction and experiential exercises, covering the core practices from Steiner's book. Each session will flexibly adapt its depth and direction to participants' states and rhythms, so that learning truly meets each person's inner needs.

Online group reflections and discussions × 7 (approx. 1 hour each) | Conducted in English / Cantonese

Facilitated by Jane, these small groups are designed to deepen the learning experience of the in-person sessions. Through guided questions and open dialogue, participants can share their own insights and listen to others' perspectives in a safe atmosphere, finding their own spiritual pace in one another's company.

Theory and experience in equal measure

This workshop does not pursue the rapid accumulation of knowledge, but rather emphasizes "personal practice" and "inner transformation." Each exercise invites participants to return to themselves—observing in action, feeling in stillness—so that spiritual cultivation is no longer merely a concept, but something truly lived every day.

面授課堂 × 7 堂（上午9時至下午4時）｜全英語授課

Martin 老師將以理論講授與體驗式練習交織進行，內容涵蓋史代納書中的核心修練方法。每堂課將視參與者的狀態與節奏，靈活調整內容深度與方向，讓學習真正貼合每個人的內在需求。

線上小組反思與討論 × 7 堂（每堂約1小時）｜英語／廣東話

由 Jane 主持的小組，旨在深化實體課堂的學習經驗。透過引導式提問與開放對話，參與者可以在安全的氛圍中分享自身體會、聆聽他人的視角，並在彼此的陪伴中，找到屬於自己的靈性步伐。

理論與體驗並重

工作坊不追求知識的快速累積，而是強調「親身實踐」與「內在轉化」。每一項練習都邀請參與者回到自身，在行動中觀察、在靜默中感受，讓靈性修養不再只是概念，而是真正活在每一天的生活裡。
