Celebrated eurythmist Werner Barfod details the seven planetary gestures in eurythmy and outlines how each expresses a different relationship of the human being to the world.

Eurythmy is an art form that makes sounds visible through movement. As well as gestures for speech and music, eurythmy also incorporates gestures that relate to the stars and the planets, as indicated by Rudolf Steiner.

In this fascinating book, a companion volume to The Zodiac Gestures in Eurythmy, Werner Barfod describes the seven planetary gestures and how each one expresses a different relationship of the human being to the world. He explains how the planetary forces work in different people, and the meditative development and ways of working that eurythmists need to cultivate to bring creativity into their art.

This book will appeal to eurythmy teachers and practitioners who want to deepen their art and spiritual work.
