description: Daughter of Percy MacKaye, Arvia was quite an artist and pioneer in her own right. She was among the early American anthroposophists living in Dornach when Rudolf Steiner was alive, and this while she was still a very young woman. Thus, her entire adult life was devoted to enlivening the world through anthroposophical spiritual science. This shows in her own art, and especially in her pioneering work for the practical arts in Waldorf education. Among many other accomplishments, she was a co-founder of the Hawthorne Valley "Farm School," and of the Adonis Press This simple biography of Arvia by her sister gives an intimate picture of this individual whose deep inner life was filled with the light of anthroposophy. The book includes photographs of Arvia and her work as a sculptress and painter as well as a facsimile of a verse written for Arvia, in English, in Rudolf Steiner's handwriting and her description of her experience of the Christ.
