‘Where Am I In My Life?’
Day Retreat
Ōtepoti •Dunedin
October 10 10.30am - 5pm
A one-day workshop in Biography Work and creative exploration
Body, Soul and Spirit
Anthroposophic Biography Work approaches the human being as body, soul and spirit - three dimensions of our being that continually unfold and come into relationship throughout a lifetime.
This workshop offers an introduction to exploring your own biography through this wider understanding of human development, alongside rhythms, transitions and thresholds that shape a life.
The day invites you to step back from the immediacy of your own life and become a witness to your story, with curiosity and perspective.
A day to reflect on your own life
We are all, always, moving between one chapter and the next.
This one-day workshop offers a space to pause, reflect and discover where you are in your own life story through teaching, guided reflection and creative artistic exploration. It is for anyone, not only those facing an obvious crossroads.
The day draws on anthroposophical biography work and a wider recognition of patterns in human development that have been observed across cultures and throughout history.
Each stage is deeply personal, yet recognisably universal: the stages of human development are shared, while every biography unfolds in its own way.
The work offers a way of viewing the cycles, rhythms, turning points and thresholds of your life with greater curiosity and perspective.
Across the day, we'll work with three questions:
Where have I come from?
Where am I now?
What is wanting to emerge?
This is reflective Biography Work rather than therapy.
It is not a space for therapeutic processing or the disclosure of deeply personal or difficult material.
Sharing is always optional, and attendance itself is full participation.
The workshop takes place at Villa Rustica, a beautiful retreat setting overlooking the ocean, around 30 minutes from Dunedin.
The setting offers a chance to step out of the everyday and spend a day with your own life story — with space for reflection, creative work and conversation.
