Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) is one of the most remarkable figures of modern times. Known today primarily through his founding of the worldwide Waldorf schools and Biodynamic Agriculture, he was also a profound lover of wisdom, a pioneering holistic reformer in education and farming, a courageous voice against regressive materialism, and a spiritual researcher into higher worlds with direct knowledge of vaster realms of consciousness.

This full day program is devoted to deepening our awareness of Rudolf Steiner. Born in humble origins on the Slavic edge of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he was educated in Vienna, researched Goethe in Weimar where he met Nietzsche, moved to Berlin at the turn of the century into its wild, countercultural, anarchist, theosophical ferment, and emerged into the 20th century as perhaps its most prolific and certainly one of its deepest spiritual philosophers. With 6,000 lectures and over 25 books, Rudolf Steiner’s legacy deserves deeper examination. In recent times, it has been subject to some nasty and gratuitous attacks. It’s important now to set the record straight about this remarkable human being, whose core message is one of love and freedom, and his widespread influence in art, literature, organic agriculture, Waldorf education for head, heart and hands, and the profound treasure trove of esoteric wisdom he left that awaits our discovery.
