This meditative practice consists of 52 verses, one for each week of the year. Each verse offers a contemplative image reflecting the evolving relationship between the human soul and the cosmos throughout the seasons. For instance, a verse for a late autumn week might evoke imagery of inward reflection and letting go, mirroring nature’s own process of decline and dormancy.
Engaging with these verses weekly can foster a deeper connection with the rhythms of nature and inner life. This practice offers a framework for self-reflection and can cultivate an awareness of the subtle shifts in inner experience throughout the year. Developed by Rudolf Steiner in the early 20th century, it draws upon anthroposophical principles, viewing human experience as interwoven with the larger cosmos.
