The Challenge of Evil, with Bastiaan Baan
The recordings of these webinars are now available in our store.
After making your contribution, a link for the webinar will be emailed to you.
We are surrounded by countless forms of evil — from the most subtle temptations to outbursts of total destruction.
In the first webinar session, we will discuss our first task in dealing with these numerous forms–recognizing and diagnosing their working.
In the second session, we will focus on confrontations with evil. What can we do — even if evil seems to be more powerful than we are?
In the third webinar, we will develop ideas about “therapy” for evil.
Although this seems to be a task for the far future, it is possible to begin here and now with redemption of evil.
Recordings are now available in our store.

Bastiaan Baan was born in 1949 in the Netherlands.
After finishing Waldorf School he studied to be a class teacher, worked and studied for a year in Los Angeles, worked with teachers in Gandhi Schools in India – and then became a class teacher in a Waldorf School in the Netherlands. After 7 years of teaching, he studied at the seminary of the Christian Community in Stuttgart, Germany. After his priest ordination in 1981, he worked in several congregations in the Netherlands until 2013, when he became the director of the priest training of the Christian Community in Spring Valley, NY.
In 2019, he returned to The Netherlands, where he lives with his wife, four sons and 10 grandchildren. Six of his books on spirituality and religion are translated in English (Floris Books, UK).

Thank you for everything you do Bastiaan and Laura
Thank you for your kind words, Paul!
Warmly,

Hello- I am going to register for this very urgent webinar- However I don’t know what a webinar is or if I can particpate in that form. Is there more you can say about how to be part of a webinar? Also, I’m a little concerned that my tablet wouldn’t be able to handle a long email. I do not want to miss this. It is like an answer to a prayer for me. Last October I finished two years of caring for my very dear friend who died Oct. 6, 2018. We spent those two years with her being tormented by and me being witness to her torments by very perceptible adversarial luciferic, ahrimanic, and elemental beings. I have felt very alone since her passing with the knowledge those experiences gave me. I have been an anthroposophist for 50 years.
Thank you for any help you can give me regarding the webinar. Deborah Sternin
Thank you for asking, Deborah.
A webinar is like a live tv program delivered to your pc, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Often you can submit questions.
You have to have a reasonably good internet connection for the live presentation–enough to watch, say, a video on YouTube.
But we send a link after the live presentation to video and audio-only recordings and to a PDF of any presentation given. You can download these on slower internet connections and then view them at your convenience.
Deborah, I appreciate your comment. It’s has helped me too. I understand this loneliness that you speak of in the context of your recent experiences. I am also grateful for this timely webinar. I hope that we both are able to find answers, comfort, and resolution through this event. Blessings, Scherry
