Spiritual Activism: The Path of Anthroposophy

Every climatological, political, or social issue that arises today calls upon us to be active in an unprecedented way. A century ago, Rudolf Steiner, like other progressive thinkers of his time, recognized that the fate of the earth was going to be determined by the actions of human beings. But he went further, and taught that women and men also had a responsibility for the further development of the spiritual world. The success of our activism on earth would have to be supported by our spiritual activity to be truly effective. With this in mind, Steiner developed a path of individual development that, while cognizant of the demanding nature of contemporary life, is able to provide the inner strength and resilience we need to bring change to the world. The growth and sustainability of such movements as Waldorf education and biodynamic agriculture are testaments to the prescience of Steiner’s vision. In tonight’s lecture, we will describe some of Rudolf Steiner’s contemplative and meditative exercises, and explore the results of his spiritual activism.
