Our children. Our world. Ourselves.

An Open Lecture with Lisa Romero

Wednesday, December 17^th 

Location: 62 Avenue B

Time: 7:00pm

Donations at the door gratefully accepted

LISA ROMERO is a complementary health practitioner and adult educator who has applied anthroposophy to her practice since 1990 and delivered education enriched with anthroposophy since 1998. Since 2006 the primary focus of her work has been teaching inner development and anthroposophical meditation and has written a book “The Inner Work Path – A Foundation for Meditative Practice in the Light of Anthroposophy”.

Lisa lectures and presents workshops and retreats on the inner work and anthroposophical meditation for professional and personal development. These are offered throughout the year in many communities within Australia, Asia and the United States. Lisa’s capacity to deliver esoteric wisdom with insight and understanding allows her to meet diverse needs of communities and professions.

For several years Lisa was the lecturer for Health and Nutrition and Male/Female Studies at Sydney Rudolf Steiner College (Parsifal College) where she now continues to lecture the tutors on inner development. She also designed and facilitated the Educaredo Towards Health and Healing course. This training ran eight, year-long courses working with therapists from all modalities as well as Waldorf teachers to bring the practical application of therapeutic and pedagogical methods. She continues to teach in numerous trainings and seminars for several organizations.

Essentially Lisa’s work springs from the inner work, meditation and exercises together, with a dedication to the path of unfolding consciousness. She brings a depth of insight that is reflected in the experiences and changes of the participants who share in this work.
