Foundation Studies in Anthroposophy

Can I give meaning and purpose to my life?

Can I begin to transform myself to be of service to the world?

If either of these are your questions, this program could be your answer.

Foundation Studies in Anthroposophy addresses the longing felt by many thoughtful people today for spiritual substance and meaning in life. It explores how anthroposophy fosters the connection between spiritual and practical realities. Participants experience anthroposophy nourishing the inner life, supporting creativity, and serving the world.

Anthroposophy — or spiritual science — are the names Rudolf Steiner gave to his philosophy and work. He describes a path of self-development emphasizing clear thinking, careful observation, refinement of feeling, and strengthening of will.

An anthroposophist never feels superior to another person, but only to the person he or she was.
