On eurythmy roda

On The Threshold …
The beginning
I always saw education on every level as a living
process with a lot of freedom, findings, self-discoveries. 7
As "pedagogical pensioner", I am happy that I have Seminars over the years
met such an inspiring people-colleagues all over the
world. I studied, and I taught. This is a great happiness.
The foundation for true self-realization was laid at
Emerson with its teachers, and in Wilkes's family,
house.

Vikentiev Sergey Mikhailovich. Born in 1954 in
Kirovobad. Lives in Narva (Estonia). Estonian
anthroposophist. Social teacher / pedagogue. He organized
in 1997 the children's center "Lad" - a social institution for
caring for children with a severe and deep degree of health.
Before the “Lad” those children were seen as no skilled for
any learning and kept at home. In December 2009, he
received the Pride of Estonia Prize. Another feature of this
award was the fact that before Sergey, the Russian
representatives in Estonia were not awarded such an
award.
Letters from Tomsk, from Helena Rynkova

Good day! Ene, how are you? How is your health?? I have already graduated from the
eurythmy-course and am now practicing. Often there are some unexpected things in the
Waldorf-branch of the school. Three sessions I worked with a new eurythmy course in St.
Petersburg. We went with the Goethe program to Weimar and Leipzig in the fall - all our
group.
What about our seminar-group? We all see each other. Every Monday - we meet for reading
together as a group. At home with my husband Kostya we read Dr. Steiner's reports every
day. Since January of this year, I’m leading a group with eurythmy-activities for adults. I put
on plays in kindergartens and elsewhere ... I really look forward to hearing from you.
......
Ene, how well we all met each other some days ago. Maia-Reeta (from Estonia) arrived, with
Tanya Ovechkina ... . Yesterday we all had a wonderful circle together and recalled the
moments of our training in Tallinn and Ekaterinburg.

About Tomsk. The Waldorf community of Tomsk breathes deeply and in full! The basis is
kindergartens. There are 4 groups in municipal kindergartens (they have their own public
fund Rhythms of the Year), two private Waldorf preschool groups and one group in the
Center for Children's Creativity. The city horticultural college works. In the Eureka-
Development school, at every age level, there are Waldorf classes and a teacher's collegium
works there. Teachers have trainings at a teacher's seminar in St. Petersburg, and gardeners
at a Moscow seminar.

Some personal initiatives:

Tanya Ikonnikova leads a group of fairy-tale therapy.
Elena Rynkova (me): conducts an amateur course on eurythmy; eurythmy in kindergartens;
conducts counseling families with children with developmental difficulties, and for mothers
with children, has classes in art therapy. I am conducting family counseling in the emergency
services, for parents with very young children (these are children who need special mental
care). There are 100 consultations in this school year, plus eurythmy in Waldorf-groups. On
Saturdays, I do art therapy for difficult children. I am still participating in an art project in St.
Petersburg staging the Russian legend Kitezh grad.
Tatyana Negrey works as a music therapist.
Tanya Fisher and Tatyana Ikonnikova conduct training seminars in Novosibirsk. Almost
everyone who completed their studies in Tallinn has associated themselves with working with
children.
On Saturdays, we gather in a small anthroposophical group, read the Philosophy of
Freedom, and work with sayings.
This is very brief about us.
Greetings from all Tomsk-people! I hug you heartily.

Helena

 GOOD DAY!!!
GALINA RAININA.
TOMSK - SOCHI.

Studying at a seminar in Tallinn, this was the beginning of an

extraordinary time in life. I was almost 40 years old in 1990 when Ene-
Sylvia Sarv came to Tomsk ... She opened us a WALDORF
PEDAGOGY and became a Guardian Angel for years ... Emerson
College teachers were our lighthouses ... BIG THANKS!!!
I am connected with the Tomsk with my soul. According to the laws of
fate, I have been living in the village of Mirny in the city of Sochi for
almost 15 years. I participated in the organization of the Waldorf school
in Sochi (since 2011); all this time I have been conducting different
formats of conversations, meetings, seminars with parents, the
“PARENT ACADEMY."
I wrote the socio-pedagogical essay “The PLACE OF THE OLD PEAR”
http://www.bdn-
steiner.ru/modules.php?name=Books&go=page&pid=4901
"The place of the old pear"
- Book One. 20 years to study (From birth to 20 years)
- Book Two. 20 years to fight (From 20 to 40 years)
- The third book. 20 years to gain wisdom (40 to 60 years)
- Book Four. Way to the Anthroposary (60 to 70 years old)
- Book Five. Aryan time (From 70 to 77 years)
- Book Six. Wisdom (From 77 years old ...)
- The seventh book. "Beyond the threshold" (and more ...)
Three adult children work in Waldorf schools. Five grandchildren - study at Waldorf schools and attend
Waldorf kindergartens.
I am currently collaborating on the forum of the anthroposophical site of BDN http://www.bdn-steiner.ru/
- I am conducting several topics there.
In the social network VK https://vk.com/id196995089 I expose thematic materials, advise ...
I am very happy for you, ENE! For your desire to find us! Train us! And - look after us!
With best regards

 Letter from Komi Republic, Russia
Dear Ene!
Whenever I think of you, my heart is filled with a deep sense of immeasurable gratitude. Patience and
support always came from you even when I was drifting in my indiscretion and pride. Thanks, Ene,
thanks! For me, it was through you that Anthroposophy really opened for the first time. In It is thanks
to you that I have grown spiritually. In Estonia, I made my choice, and thanks to you; it has become
my spiritual Motherland.
Of course, I owe a lot to all teachers, including those from Emerson College and students; I still keep
in touch with some of them (with Olga Nebogatikova and Lyudmila Krylova from Perm). Special
thanks to Elsa Robertovna - she was for me a bridge, a kind of landmark connecting the past and the
present, an example of bravery and responsibility to work.
I think that you, Ene, have created an extraordinary team, consisting of talented people in love with
their work, who inspired and elevated us to the spiritual worlds. And it really was the best teacher
training in the entire post-Soviet space, because it was rigidly repelled from Anthroposophy and was
inextricable with it.
My path was as follows: working with youth, first organizing a Kindergarten, and then Steiner-school -
a school that has been living and developing in the suburbs of Syktyvkar for more than ten years. The
school is complete with its 12 classes, entirely independent of the state.
However, the main thing is not this, but the fact that Syktyvkar has become a serious center seeking
renewal of anthroposophical work and life. Caring for Anthroposophy is the main thing, it is what
nourishes the rest of our activities.
My wife Inessa and I have two children. Mikhail is almost 25; he is a lawyer and economist, studies at
the post-graduate school of Vyatka University and works as a history and social science teacher at
our school. He writes good poetry and music. Maria - our daughter is 23 years old; she graduated
from the 5th course of the Medical Academy in Kirov. She is interested in anthroposophic medicine
and art. She draws well, makes music. Both travel a lot, participate in seminars held in Russia.
Most cordial and warm greetings to Margaret, Glennis and Andrew! Good health to you, Ene, and a
lot of strength! The sun into your soul! You are forever in my heart!
With love, your Stas Kyzyurov.

 On eurythmy-rods
At one session (1995-96 or earlier) Glenys needed eurythmy-rods or/and copper balls. With balls,
it seemed to be OK - I brought from home very organic, well-rounded and the same size potatoes
(from our garden). Whoo, said Glenys, I never imagined eurythmy with potatoes. However - it
worked well. But the rods we found were just wooden or very heavy metal ones. Not good at all.
At following session, Glenys arrived with the special bag and - eurythmy rods. She had made
fundraising and so for all further years our seminar could have real rod-eurythmy. After seminar's
last year (2002), the rods were occasionally in use in Maria school (curative education, Tallinn)
for a couple of years. When I moved to another apartment - rods moved with me.

In Viljandi Waldorf school (were my younger grandchildren studied) works ms. Virgi Ojap as the
eurythmy teacher. She studied in Finland. In 2016, she initiated the eurythmy-festival of Estonian
Waldorf schools on Bach. It was a great evening, especially the 6-8 grade boys' rod-
performance. One aim was to raise some funds to by eurythmy-rods for school. These were the
right place and time and purpose - half of eurythmy-rods from Glenys are now in very good use!
Another half is still waiting ... Thank You, Glenys!
Ene

The annual Waldorf-schools’

eurythmy-days became tradition
in Estonia. At Viljandi Waldorf-
school Virgi founded the
eurythmy-studio for pupils and
former pupils. They have visited
Tampere Steiner-Koulu and
Witten-Annen eurythmy forum
(with Grieg, Bizet, Lizt, Bach,
Pärt). The Glenys-rods are in use
at every lesson.

 The beginning – IDRIART, Tampere Steiner Koulu, Emerson
College => The Threshold/Künnis/ Порог
In 1987-89, alongside with perestroika in the USSR in Estonia, we managed to start educational
renewal - re-creation of the national Estonian school, the national curriculum, and non-ideological,
humanist pedagogy. Western pedagogues saw the possibility and need to introduce alternative,
humane pedagogues and social initiatives. Margit Engel from Vidarosen Camphill (Norway), Tampere
Steiner Koulu pedagogues and parents (Finland), and many others contacted educational institutions
and anthroposophical circle in Estonia (that has been underground for many decades, since 1940). As
vice-director of Estonia SSR Teacher Professional Development Institute, I supported IDRIART
workshops and other seminars. Through IDRIART-seminars, Margit Engel and Tampere-school people,
I saw the pedagogue I would like to have for my own children and for children in Estonia. And through
pedagogue - I entered anthroposophy. It was natural for me as pedagogue and as the physicist.
By the end of the 2nd IDRIART in Estonia, one big Irish man said to me: Why not to go for a year or two
to Emerson? I'll write You the support letter. He did, and in 1991, I was in Emerson (with 18 pounds in
my pocket at Gatwick and leaving home two teenager daughters).
With the organizational help of Elsa Gretchkina (former minister of education, not loved by her earlier
ideological views) the seminars on Waldorf education / Steiner pedagogue were organised. Interested
people came from over the USSR. We had groups as far as from Siberia, thanks to Heureka seminars I
was invited to speak on humanist and Steiner pedagogy since 1989.
During Emerson-time, I tried to compose the curriculum for teachers' seminar. Here I had good advice
from Tampere-parents and teachers, and from A Wolpert. It worked quite well through all the 12 years.
The seminar was designed to have 9 face-to-face sessions (by 5 - 14 days each), two sessions yearly
and a lot of independent learning, homework (including artistic work). At the beginning of every session,
we tried to have the collegium-like meeting with all lecturers to have "the tuning". Every year at summer
session, we started with a new group. So it was like a school - 9 courses like nine classes. For some
courses, we had the leading teacher - like class-teacher. Jaakko Erkkonen, Merete Lövlie were the
example. As it became complicated to travel to Estonia from Russia (visa, money, etc.) - for several
years, we had summer-sessions in Tallinn and then in Jekaterinburg. So - the western lecturers did
experience real (post)Soviet trains, and no hotels, etc. (I remember Margaret and Glenys sleeping on
the floor in Jekaterinburg for some nights.) It was all voluntary work - as students from Russia, Ukraine
could not pay nearly nothing, and it was not much better for Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania as well.
All homework was presented; journals kept; international team members gave their reports and
suggestion for homework and for following sessions. There were general philosophical and pedagogical
studies and lot of practice, collaborative group-works, artistry (including course plays, up to
Shakespeare), etc. This was "the breaking of paradigm". By the end of 9th session, the graduation/final
project has to be completed and performed to all the participants.
Altogether in Tallinn, Krasnodar and Jekaterinburg, more than 2000 persons participated at least once
(full session), around 800 of them participated at 3-5 sessions, 300 at 7-8 sessions and 130 –
graduated with final project.
I gathered a lot of knowledge, especially as a translator from English or Finnish to Russian, as there
were very few who understood English sufficiently. I got a lot of practical experiences and ideas for my
teaching in universities and for teachers' professional development.
