SteinerBooks Seminar: Fifth Gospel and the Inner Meaning of the Christian Mystery

A century ago a small group comprised mostly of singers met in downtown NYC to study a lecture by Rudolf Steiner. Soon they took on the name The St. Mark Group and met regularly in the Carnegie Hall studio of one of the members (The St Mark Group continues to meet today).
 
In this celebratory symposium, Theosophical historian Michael Gomes will speak about the local spiritual milieu of 1910 into which anthroposophy arrived. Open Center co-founder Ralph White will portray the burgeoning growth of anthroposophy and other spiritual paths and movements in NYC during and through the 25-year life of the Open Center. Alliance for Childhood founder Joan Almon will discuss the wide impact of Waldorf Education, anthroposophy’s most visible daughter movement.
 
In the afternoon, conflict transformation leader Olivia Stokes Dreier will discuss the power of authentic witnessing in war- and genocide-torn communities across the globe. Symposium moderator and writer Walter Alexander will examine the struggle of anthroposophy and other movements to integrate the reality of human spirituality into thinking and practice in everyday life and socially significant initiatives. And John Beck, editor for the national Anthroposophical Society, will introduce and lead a conversation on the present US and global crisis.
 
$60/Members $50 for the full symposium, $30/Member $25 for either half. No other discounts.
