Parzival and the Renewal of Anthroposophy in America

AN EVENING LECTURE AND A MORNING WORKSHOP WITH ROBERT KARP

Lecture on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at 7 pm
Workshop on Thursday, August 21, 2025, 9 am – 12 pm

Robert Karp will explore how the Parzival impulse, which once united the Grail and Arthurian streams, lives within the spiritual geography of North America today. Through biography, Goethean movement, and conversation, participants will engage with the question of what new Parzival deeds may be called forth for healing and renewal.

In the 9th century, Parzival forged a higher synthesis of the Grail and Arthurian streams in order to bring forth a fresh cultural impetus for Europe. His deed informed the School of Chartres, the Templars, the Rosicrucians, and many others working to lead the old mysteries into new forms.

Robert Karp will use the lens of the spiritual geography of the earth and North America to explore how these archetypes are active on this continent and what new Parzival deeds might be calling to us to bring health and healing to the anthroposophical movement and the wider society. These questions will be explored through biography work, Goethean movement, and Goethean conversation.
