Moon Contemplation
We are proud to announce the 2025 edition of our monthly astrology meet-ups starts this March! This year, we are going back to the original format of 12 dates over the course of the year, each elected to provide the perfect context for reflecting on the season (meaning the Moon will always be in the same sign as the Sun for these sessions).
All who are interested in the art of Astrology, we invite you to put down your fancy apps and look up towards the sky. Our forebears were able to viscerally intuit the vast network of insights and influences that sky country is constantly reflecting down onto Earth. Let’s claim our inheritance and hone our skills by attempting to actually feel and sense what is happening in the sky.
One easy way to learn more about Astrology is to track the movements of the Moon. As she circles the entire Zodiac every month, visiting every sign – and thereby also making every possible aspect and placement therein, we can compile our monthly observations, which allows us to comprehend notable characteristics and signatures of any celestial placements. We will make use of this perpetual cycle and attempt to glean what we can by checking in on her once a month.
Our meet-ups involve a quick update on the current weather, then we orient ourselves towards the Moon’s physical position and attempt a receptive sensing and inner participation with what we find there, then we end with free range feedback and discussion.

Saint Michael and the Laws of Dynamic Polarity, Lecture and Workshop
Lecture by Robert Karp (aka Robert Karbelnikoff)
Sunday, October 5, from 7 to 9 pm at Arkadia (the Commons)
Workshop by Robert Karp, Jan Ranck and Clay Ruby Monday, October 6 from 9 am to 12 pm at Arkadia
This lecture will seek to help us understand and bring us closer to that spiritual being known as Michael. In particular, we will focus on Michael's capacity to embody the laws of dynamic polarity, meaning the ability to hold in balance, and bring into harmony, realities that appear to be opposites or in opposition to one another. Using this lens, we will especially focus on Michael's relationship to western civilization, human individuality, and to the forces of modern technology.
In the workshop the next day, Jan, Clay and I will elaborate on the mysteries of dynamic polarity as these express themselves in Michael's relation to the seven classical planets of our solar system. With the help of Jan Ranck, we will use eurythmy to explore in particular the way Michael works to harmonize the forces of Mars and Venus.
Goodwill donations appreciated. All Proceeds will go to the Anthroposophical Society in Viroqua

Born in the USA, Jan Ranck studied music and comparative arts at Indiana University in Bloomington. She accompanied the London Stage Group on their 1976 USA tour and went on to study eurythmy at the Eurythmeum in Dornach, Switzerland, where she subsequently served as a teacher. In 1984 she joined the faculty of The London School of Eurythmy. She left there to complete a training in eurythmy therapy in Stuttgart in 1989, moving afterward to Israel, where she founded the Jerusalem Eurythmy Ensemble (1990) and the Jerusalem Academy of Eurythmy (1992). In 1999 she also joined the faculty of the Jerusalem Waldorf Teacher Bachelor Program in David Yellin Academic College. Jan was a student of Lea van der Pals and a colleague of her successor in the subject of Tone Eurythmy Therapy, Annemarie Baeschlin, and was involved with compositional and editorial suggestions for their publication “Ton-Heileurythmie”, Verlag am Goetheanum 1991, published in English in 2009 as “Tone Eurythmy Therapy” by the Medical Section at the Goetheanum. She continues to hold Master Classes in various venues worldwide, including the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland.
Fox and Beggar present TIGRE! TIGRE!
Arkadia is so pleased to be sponsoring this delightful event, the return of Fox and Beggar, presenting TIGRE! TIGRE!. This will be at ECKHART PARK, at 7:00 PM on Thursday, October 2nd!! Theater, music, puppetry and surreal fun for the entire family. For more information: https://www.foxandbeggar.org/tigre
Combining puppetry, traditional clown theater, and a live score influenced by everything from Medieval court music to Gilbert & Sullivan, "TIGRE! TIGRE!" explores humanity's absurd relationship to technology while asking the fundamental question: what drives us to perpetually open new doors that we know we won't be able to close?
