Rudolf Steiner was a rare figure: a clairvoyant who insisted on the value of scientific method and precise thinking. Born in 1861 in what is now Croatia, Steiner was a philosopher, educator, architect, playwright, and spiritual scientist. After editing Goethe’s scientific writings and completing a doctorate in epistemology, he gradually began to reveal his esoteric insights, which he called Anthroposophy—the wisdom of the human being.

Steiner argued that in the modern age, we must reconnect with the spiritual world, learning to approach it consciously and freely. His work laid the foundations for innovations in education (Waldorf), agriculture (biodynamics), medicine, the arts, and even economic theory. Unlike the mystics of the East, Steiner saw the Western path as one where individual freedom, clear thinking, and love work together to develop a strengthened self capable of spiritual perception and with the moral character to sacrifice for the greater good.

This session introduces Steiner’s biography, cosmology, and mission: to initiate a new phase of evolution, in which the human being becomes a conscious co-creator with the spiritual world. We’ll also explore what it means to begin this path in today’s fragmented culture—and why Steiner’s time may finally have come.
