Rudolf Steiner asserted that there ought to be no disagreement between Natural Science and Spiritual Science if they are both genuine.

FOUNDATION COURSE IN GOETHEAN SCIENCE AT THE NATURE INSTITUTE

This year-long program offers the challenge and the opportunity to move beyond the static, object-like abstractions of contemporary thought toward a fluid, transformative way of perceiving and thinking. When we begin to apprehend the dynamic and relational nature of the world, we embark on a scientific pathway to its living qualities. Nature begins to show herself in surprising new ways, and our connection to her deepens.

PRESENTATION BY GARY LAMB will include a comparison of Rudolf Steiner’s perspectives of earth evolution and the future of technology with those of the astronomer and Catholic priest, Georges Lemaître, and the inventor and futurist, Ray Kurzweil; a description of the evolution of technology and energy production in five phases, including the creation of ethical/moral technology; and passages from various chapters in A Road to Sacred Creation.
