WORKSHOPS
Working with the Landscape
& get in touch with the Elementals and Angels in your Garden
and
Working in the sublitteral
spheres on a wounded area
Elemental beings and landscape angels maintain nature,
but we cannot directly perceive them with our ordinary senses. These have
to be schooled, refined and directed to uplift the perceptions of these
beings into our consciousness.
There have been developed schooling methods to learn to get in contact
step by step with the different groups of elementals. First there will
be learned in a directed way to observe them; by means of communal singing,
observation, movement and clay modeling. There is tried to discover inner
tools which can open up gateways to the life worlds. Then these inner
faculties of observation are being directed to the beings that work all
through the elements, that conduct and maintain these. The singing helps
to open up the soul, through which it can connect to the inner and outer
phenomena. The clay modeling helps to condense and objectify the observations.
In debriefings there is tried to make more conscious the experiences and
observations.
Next is tried to communicate with them – and that is a specific
task for each group. After this there will be considered whether they
need to be reinforced on places in the region in which is being worked.
The effects of elemental beings in plants can be observed and inwardly
experienced through singing together. By singing together and observing
the true phenomena living within it, we come across expression of our
own bodies (physical and finer) in relation to the elements. Through repetition
we make the experiences more and more objective. By modeling in clay we
may discover the fine effects of elemental beings in soul attitudes and
gestures of will.
This workshop gives you tools to work in a landscape, for instance your
own garden, by finding out how it energetically functions, what is not
yet in balance, and how to improve this. It is a continuation of two previous
workshops, but can be entered by anyone interested in working on this
matter.
No schooled voice or modeling faculties required.
The course is given by Nicolaas de Jong, Dutch writer,
musician, sculptor, astrosopher and landscape healer. He has developed
the above methods through biology, musical theatre and observations in
life. He makes projects of landscape healing all over Europe an the US,
mostly on wounded places like previous battle fields and concentration
camps.
Saturday 31st of May
: Working with elemental beings and discovering the organ
spaces in the garden at Shieldbrook, King’s Caple. We concentrate
on the moods in landscape organs that may lead us to the workings of nymphs
and fairies. These protect the smaller elementals, which we thus try to
discover and reinforce.
Sunday 1st of June :
Work in a wounded area by means of descending in the sublitteral spheres,
where the fallen angels and probably some dead people may still be bound.
We try to get in contact with these, free and transform them through our
singing and warm consciousness. To this, rhythmical sayings have been
developed to get in contact with them. This work needs deeper schooling
and a sturdy soul, for the fallen beings can be forceful in their convictions.

Training
Music Therapy on
the Basis of Astrosophy
- analysis of a birth horoscope to temperament, constitution,
soul type, world vision, soul constellations and the karma, from astrosophical
insights
- working in music from the four human bodies of spirit, soul, life body
and the physical, from astrophonical insights. This means working to tonality,
rhythm foot and measure type.
- tackling concrete of life areas and body processes
- curing by means of healing sounds and rhythms
- handles to self insight and schooling
by Nicolaas M. de Jong, astrosopher, writer, sculptural
and musical artist, instrument builder.
In this music therapy training there is a specific
treatment to the four human bodies. Briefly said can the spirit, or an
idea, be recognised as a musical motive, that is carried by a tonality,
on a rhythm and in a measure type. What concerns musical elaborations,
this includes targeted work with rhythm feet and measure types. Rhythm
feet bring us in contact with the different life areas, and measure types
with the organ processes. These are inner reflections in time of the planet
movements towards the Earth, which bring forth our organ processes. These
inspirative path through the heart has become accessible since the crucifixion
of Christ in the life world in 1942.
The starting point for the music therapy is the vast system of interpretation
of a birth horoscope about problems and possibilities of the individual
development, developed in the astrosophy. Each component is being approached
in an artistic way.
With music the soul contents and willing gestures can be brought up in
the consciousness, and it is possible to can be worked at parts that are
out of balance. Clay modelling helps to condense the observations. This
gives an insight in processes in its own inner world, view on onesidednesses
and weaknesses and new possibilities for development. There is being worked
with the voice and the lyre. There will be moved in an experiencing way
on intervals and tonalities. Rhythms and measure types are being walked
upon or danced. All working methods are phenomenological of nature.
This training gives handles to be able work with patients to specific
problems in a directed way. Initially there is being worked with ones
own horoscope, which gives oneself insights through experience. This can
be applied at others later.
With music one works on the soul level, with the rhythms on life processes,
and with the measure types targeted to the body organs. Thus a pallet
of possibilities arises to be able to work with patients in a directed
way.
The first part of the training offers a basis
concept framework of astrosophy from the imaginative
experience, through which a birth horoscope can be read as an analysis
of the bodies, the temperament, the constitution, soul type, world vision,
strong and weak body processes, soul qualities and conflicts, and the
direction of the karma.
In the second part of training
these elements are approached musically in tonality (major and church
scales), rhythm and measure types. These are being experienced by means
of communal singing, movement and dancing. These elements are being integrated
and there will be worked aimed on planet positions (soul regions) and
configurations.
In the third part there
will be practised with the musical components in a directed way, and inner
perceptions of the planet positions can be modelled out in clay.
Moreover an introduction is being given of the lyres as developed in the
Rune workshop which each has the form gesture of one the zodiacal star
images as sound producing principle in it. These can tighten up the therapy
still further.
It is worked with voice, lyre and the body. Moreover
inner experiences are being modelled out in clay. Some knowledge of the
musical notation is necessary. Take along easily sitting clothing and
shoes.
There will be worked with the book ` Karmic Astrosophy - a practically
experiencable method in images, music and plastic. Costs € 32. -.

Education
Working with elemental beings
and landscape healing at Meppel, the Netherlands.
We live in a time where we
see many natural coherences and balances fade around us. Mostoften we
feel we cannot do anything about it, while the industry and urbanisation
takes its charge. Yet little is known about our capacities to renew our
cooperation with nature and the beings working in these. In the Middle
Ages this was still common, and people used to consider nature beings
for crop growing and house building; there was cooperation. After this
capacity has faded, as well as the knowledge about it, now our consciousness
is widening again, and we can approach the natural beings, when we exercise
our inner senses and capacities to that. In this we can learn to cooperate
with them again, so we can reshape our surroundings together anew. This
is a stroke against nowadays apathy.
With every perception through the senses, we absorp elemental beings as
well that form these; they are the contents of our thoughts. Normally
we are not aware of this, but they do work and maintain nature and even
our own physical body. As these beings are soul beings, we can contact
them through our feelings; as they work in the life world of formative
forces, we can get in tune with them through the rhythms they live in.
Singing together may help opening up our souls, and the perceptions become
more conscious when we model these out afterwards in clay, thus opening
new inner senses for them, through which we can characterise them better.
In this workshop we will first sing atmospheric colours and the formative
forces that make a plant grow, which we will model out. After this, we
will go and look for different elemental beings in nature, and try to
work with them, integrating them in a landscape unity, called a landscape
temple. Through this we can learn to recognize these beings in other places
and start to develop lazndscape curing, for man is busy to destroy natural
landscapes, and has the task to reorganize it as well. it’s up to
us.
The methods of investigation, singing together, clay modelling and perceiving
with the body come from phenomenology (developed initially by the German
poet Goethe) and include methods of astrosophy, connecting the human physiology
and consciousness with the workings of the stars and of nature.
The Dutch writer, artist, astrosopher and landscape healer Nicolaas de
Jong has developed these methods of elemental observation and landscape
healing for more than 20 years. He gives courses and seminars in Europe
and the US.
