The theme is “An introduction to Anthroposophy and Rudolf Steiner’s insights into the nature of the human being” Newcomers are welcome.

The theme for February 2 will be “The Four Temperaments as they manifest in the Lower School and the Seven Planetary Types as they manifest in Adolescence”
The study group is hosted by Christian and Astrid Maclean and will take place on the following Monday evenings: February 2, March 2 and 16. Time 7.30 – 9 pm. Place 3a Tipperlinn Road, Edinburgh EH10 5ET
