What is Anthroposophy?

In an age where the consequences of unbridled materialism are becoming ever more apparent, Anthroposophy, founded by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), offers a scientific method of research that seeks to overcome the seeming divide between the world of our inner experiences and the world beyond us, and helps us to understand the fundamental nature of our existence as beings of body, soul and spirit. To adopt this method means to become a lifelong learner. Adult education that draws on this resource offers liberating perspectives, enables us to broaden our mental horizons and brings coherence and meaning to our experience of the world.

Anthroposophy comes as both a path of self-development and as a practical way to work in the world. The Waldorf Schools, Biodynamic agriculture, and the Camphill Communities are some of the more famous movements to be inspired by Anthroposophy, along with a host of artistic and social impulses; but this practical work is by no means a finished process. There are many people in the world today who are unhappy with the state of current affairs, and are pushing back against the status-quo – the nature of our societies are changing and as a new future comes towards us, are we asking the right questions?
