Exploring Anthroposophy

Course Overview

“If we do not believe within ourselves this deeply rooted feeling that there is something higher than ourselves, we shall never find the strength to evolve into something higher.” – Rudolf Steiner

Anthroposophy is fundamentally a study of the human being, our nature, development and task.

The lens that Rudolf Steiner gives us is the view that we are spiritual beings living a physical existence. To better understand our journey through life he details our life’s phases and the development of our soul capacities, thinking, feeling and willing. In this sense, Anthroposophy is the tangible path of inner development and a spiritual-scientific lifelong study.

We are offering an opportunity for you to participate in a short course that will provide you with an understanding of the foundations of Steiner/Waldorf Education.

This course is for anyone with an interest in learning more about Anthroposophy and the foundations of Steiner Education, and is particularly valuable for all Steiner School support staff, Parents, High School Teachers, and Teaching Assistants.
