Dinosaurs? Who would have thought that The Nature Institute would be introducing its spring program with a topic so far removed from anything that we have done in the past? We have hardly touched on geology and paleontology. However, Goethean scientists meet in strange places and their collaboration can throw open new doors that reveal hidden treasures. The first identified fossil tracks were discovered in 1802 in South Hadley, Massachusetts. No one paid much attention for over a hundred years. In trying to recreate the picture of the time when the earth was still young, paleontologists relied almost exclusively on bones. Fossil tracks, on the other hand, hold the key to movement, migration, and behavior. Then came a flurry of discovery of thousands of tracks and pathways. Dr. Martin Lockley was one of the scientists who was hot on the trail.

What has made his work distinctive among scientists is his discovery of Goethean science through Wolfgang Schad, who is one of the leading Goethean scientists in Europe. It will be quite enlightening to see how Martin Lockley works with the principles of the threefold organism in relation to creatures that have long ago vanished from the earth. We warmly invite you to his workshop.
