WELLSPRING

 

"Spirit Triumphant! Flame through the impotence of faltering, fainthearted souls! Burn up selfishness, kindle compassion, so that selflessness, the lifestream of humanity, may flow as the wellspring of spiritual rebirth!" — Rudolf Steiner

Dear Friends,

During this time of covid, when we have been forced to look inwardly as never before, we have been in what may be called a dream state, here in Vancouver.

Echoing the dream song of Olaf Asteson, some intrepid community members will recreate the story of TCC in Vancouver up to this point, during the upcoming Holy Nights.

This is because the time has come for our community to dream of what could be for the future. At night as we sleep, we receive messages from the spiritual world, of good will, a renewal of our spirit for the new day. It is time for us, in cooperation with the Spirit of our community, to begin a new chapter. A legacy for the next generation.

We have long known that our current building/property simply can no longer function, neither in the present, nor to certainly meet the future needs of our community.

It is time for us to dream of a new location and space. There is no greater expression of this need and longing, than the quote above by Rudolf Steiner.

My beloved, our baby has grown wings and is ready to strike out on her own. She is ready to soar and take her place amongst the tribe of Eagles. On the Pacific west coast, there is no better image for movement than that of an eagle. Reaching the highest heights, and plummeting to the deepest depths. As such, it is my humble suggestion that our new chapel might be named: The Chapel of St. John.
