Did you know that Golden Hill students from Kindergarten to Class 2 participate in Eurythmy sessions? Golden Hill is fortunate to have Eurythmy specialist and musician, Shamara de Tissera, come in each week to bring Eurythmy to our students. 

The word "Eurythmy' comes from Greek, meaning "beautiful rhythms," and it expresses the sounds of speech and music through choreographed gestures and forms in space.  

Eurythmy is an offering which is unique to Steiner schools. As an art of movement, Eurythmy engages the whole human being, integrating physical movement with inner (soul) movements and in so doing, a harmonious relationship between the Soul (and Spirit) and the body is created. The structure of the Eurythmy lesson, the content, the very movement itself, as well as the beauty of the music and language that support the lesson, add to this breathing quality which connects us to the inner and outer worlds. 

Rudolf Steiner, in his lecture on Eurythmy in 1923, stated that: 

"In Eurythmy, body, soul and spirit work harmoniously together so that here one has to do with an ensouled and spiritual form of gymnastics. The child feels this. He feels that each movement that he makes does not arise merely in response to a physical necessity, but that every one of his/her movements is permeated with a soul and spiritual element, which streams through the arms, and, indeed, through the whole body. The child absorbs Eurythmy into the very depths of his/her being." (Lecture GA 0279:1923)
