Who is John Ralph?

I live and work in Camphill Rudolf Steiner Schools, a residential community for children and young adults with complex needs. I have been active as a qualified eurythmist since 1988. Eurythmy remains my beloved vocation, as teacher and performer. I am actively researching methods of promoting self-development and student centred learning in adult education through dialogue, eurythmy and creativity. What I have learned in Tom Brown Jr's Tracking School has added new dimensions to my work.

I am interested in the art of dialogue, intuitive practice, developing aspects of the work of Rudolf Steiner (anthroposophy), the role of the life processes and sensory perception in curative education, and the role of the arts in adult learning. I grow trees in pots and spend too much time on my computer. I love waterfalls, all forms of co-creative activity, and I play traditional and renaissance music on recorder and pipe-and-tabor.

I teach eurythmy, lecture, and tutor on the BA Programme in Curative Education in partnership with the University of Aberdeen. I am happy to share what I have learned about eurythmy, intuitive practice and anthroposophy, and also to learn together with others. I am available for courses, presentations and retreats. I like to work as part of a team.
