In this fascinating work, Karl Konig offers a detailed study of the human soul's different characteristics. He looks at a range of human experiences, including pain, anxiety, fear, shame and anger, and he distinguishes four stages of consciousness: normal day-consciousness, dreaming, sleeping and deep sleep. Although much has changed in the field of psychology since The Human Soul was written in the middle of the twentieth century, this book nevertheless remains a meaningful exploration into the mysteries and complexities of the human psyche. This new Karl Konig Archive edition of the classic text has been updated with never-before published lectures by Konig on psychology and the human soul, including notes from the two talks that originally inspired this book.
A combined edition of Karl König's The Calendar of the Soul and An Inner Journey Through the Year. Karl König meditated intensely on the 52 weekly verses of Rudolf Steiner's Calendar of the Soul. He often encouraged his colleagues to find inner strength from the verses, and wrote The Calendar of the Soul, which forms part one of this new combined volume, as a guide for them, drawing out the patterns through the course of the year. There are also some lecture notes and additional essays covering the Winter and Christmas Verses, Forgetting and Losing, and more. Part two comprises 52 naïve, full-colour artistic sketches that König created in 1940 to accompany each verse during his internment on the Isle of Man. For each weekly verse of the Soul Calendar, there's a picture which describes an experience of the inner situation. This book will be a helpful and inspiring guide for anyone who wants to fully understand and experience Steiner's Calendar.

Music therapy helps to support individuals' mental and emotional lives through musical exercises. Drawing on the work of Rudolf Steiner, Karl König, a pioneer of various forms of therapy within the Camphill movement, developed the basics of an anthroposophical music therapy, focusing on how the fundamentals of music connect to human beings. This fascinating book brings together König's lectures, articles and notes on music therapy, most of which have never before been published. In them he explores areas such as hearing, the nature of musical experience, the role of music in Camphill and music therapy for those with hearing loss. Alongside the original writings, an in-depth introduction by music therapist Katarina Seeherr explores the evolution of König's ideas relating to music and music therapy, and how he inspired many musicians and therapists to develop this form of treatment.
In this classic work on early childhood development, Karl König explores the first three years of a child's life by examining the three major achievements that occur during this stage: learning to walk, speak and think. These are three core faculties and their acquisition, König argues, is 'an act of grace' in every child. He goes on to provide a detailed analysis of this extraordinarily complex process. This Karl König Archive edition now includes extensive notes and a new introduction by Dr Jan Goeschel, founding President of the Camphill Academy in North America, which puts this well-known text in the context of modern-day research. The First Three Years of the Child provides fascinating insights into early years' development and will be of great value to educators, medical professionals and carers.
Through his work as a physician, Karl König explored the relationship between the rhythm of the seasons, the Christian festivals, thinking in particular about their effect on human beings and communities. This fascinating collection of König's essays, lectures and notes looks at the cycle of the year and the different aspects of all the Christian festivals, from Easter to the Twelve Holy Days of Christmas. König discusses the idea that human beings can derive inner strength from festival celebrations through an active social life and participation in community, and also that a strong, healthy community life relies on the celebration of festivals.
"We could all benefit positively if we direct our thoughts to all of humankind and consider that birth and death are only portals. We must recognise that the greater part of humankind exists beyond these portals and that we are one with them." -- Karl König Karl König, following Rudolf Steiner's teachings, believed that human beings are eternal and that our time in our earthly bodies is just one part of our journey. Our souls exist before birth and continue on beyond death until they are reborn. In these important lectures and essays, König argues that the greatest part of our community exists beyond this earthly life. He calls on us not to neglect our connection with them and encourages us to solicit their guidance so that we might rediscover the values that our society has lost. In this remarkable book, König suggests that by changing our everyday thinking, we can create a bridge across the threshold of death, allowing essential communication between humans in different states of being and uniting humankind to the benefit of all.
Alongside his work with the Camphill movement, Karl König was a prolific writer of stories, poems and meditative verses.

Fleeing from Nazi Europe in the late 1930s, Austrian-born Karl König and his colleagues founded the first Camphill community, for children with special needs, outside Aberdeen in the north of Scotland. The seven essays by König in this book explain the principles behind what would grow to become a worldwide movement. The insights in this book reveal the inner motivations that drove König and his team to persevere with their social project, and help modern-day readers to understand how they succeeded in building a network that now numbers over one hundred communities in twenty countries around the world. Includes extensive diary excerpts, documents and photographs from the Karl König Archive.
Karl König's plays for the festivals of the year are arguably his most original creations. Written to be performed in Camphill communities, they show a deep understanding of the Christian festivals. With one exception, all fourteen plays were written during the early years of the Camphill movement, and König's hope was that their performance would help bring communities together. Not only is their content entertaining and informative, but the act of performing provides great benefits as social therapy. Since then, the plays have been translated into many languages and performed in Camphill and other communities around the world. This is the first time that the original texts of all the plays have been published together. They are presented with an introduction and commentary by series editor Richard Steel, alongside fascinating performance photographs.
