PUBLIC LECTURE BY ANDREW WOLPERT ONSITE AND VIA ZOOM

The enormity of world events challenges our apparent powerlessness in the face of so much inhumanity. As part of our preparation for Michaelmas, awakening to the immense potential in our unfinished human evolution, we can affirm our confidence and courage for the future. In his intuitive prescience, Ralph Waldo Emerson anticipated aspects that were central to Rudolf Seiner’s vision of the human being’s capacity for freedom. Rudolf Steiner’s pioneering spiritual research and visionary achievement as an artist serve to awaken us to our tasks to collaborate socially and creatively. Our cosmic origins and potential were manifest in the architecture, sculpture, and painting of the First Goetheanum, the tragic fire was transformative, and Rudolf Steiner’s undeterred resolve to realize his task came to renewed expression in the Foundation Stone Meditation that formed the core of the re-founded Anthroposophical Society.

Andrew Wolpert, a scholar who has been lecturing and leading courses and seminars on anthroposophical themes internationally for many years, led the Spirit of English Course at Emerson College for 17 years and was co-editor of the “Golden Blade” magazine. He has also taught at the Waldorf Teacher Training University in Stuttgart, Germany, at various schools in Japan and Italy, and is coordinator of the Humanities Section of the School of Spiritual Science in Great Britain.
