Field report on the use of the book in the pedagogical seminar "The book has made an impact! Today I had the students of the seminar work in four groups on the "100 questions with the view of the matrioshka" (Chapter XI from the accompanying book). You should have seen that: A tower of research and knowledge went through the room. I was no longer necessary! But then I went from table to table with my coffee (!) and saw with dismay and great joy that the bill was paid. I would have had to start the conversations at all tables and I would have had the best material about self-knowledge and human observation. And above all: It goes incredibly fast. The contributors tap or point to one of the dolls and say: this one - or this one - always seems to me to be like this and like that ...or I only perceive them through their temporary absence. Now I know, while riding it?s not about the I, like I always thought, but about the ether body. Two riding therapists, who didn't know each other, but were sitting at the same table, have confirmed this to each other. And they had certainly never thought of this idea before - the method seems to be grandiose! For an upper school class, any seminar... I'm thrilled." 26 Jan. 2020 The author Christian Breme Christian Breme is a freelance sculptor and was a teacher of visual design at the Rudolf Steiner School Basel until his graduation in 2015.
