You are warmly invited to join the Asheville Steiner StudyGroup for the All Souls’ Festival for those who have crossed the threshold of death. The festival will be held on Sunday, November 2, at 6:30 pm in the eurythmy room at Asheville Waldorf School.This is a simple festival which we co-create together.  You are invited to bring verses, poems, music, and other artistic sharings. We will also speak the names of those who have died during the past year and move the eurythmy “Hallelujah”.  Because of the special nature of this festival, there is no admittance once we have begun. This festival is not for young children. Feel free to reach out to Elizabeth McKay (e.mckay@ashevillewaldorf.org) with any questions or to RSVP.

The 100 Year Celebration and Re Enactment of the Agriculture Course

June 30, 2024

Starts Oct 4 2024

Long Hungry Creek Farm
in Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee

If you are reading this page, then you have probably been influenced by the ideas put forth by Rudolf Steiner 100 years ago. We are grateful for the tremendous breadth and depth of thought and heart brought forth by Dr. Steiner, and for the continuing influence of the Agriculture Course in our own lives and in the global community of farmers and stewards.

In the spirit of honoring those works and celebrating their goodness, we invite you to join us, beginning on Friday, October 4, as we read each of the Agriculture lectures aloud and discuss the meaning and impact of biodynamic farming. Following the path set forth with the Whitsun event 100 years ago, we will also work our way through the Karmic lectures, and hopefully the lectures for youth as well. We are attracting a multidisciplinary crowd for this in-depth exploration and celebration, including farmers, eurythmists, scientists, physicians, and more.

Ita Wegman Gathering 2021

February 19, 2021

Creating Radical Space for the Other – I Development and the Christ Impulse
Monday, February 22, 2021
Rudolf Steiner asks in 1922 ‘Where, tell me, does truth still exist? Rudolf Steiner asks in 1922.
In the same lecture series given to the Christian Community Priests he shares -…‘If, in the
realms into which the luciferic constantly streams and into which the ahrimanic constantly
streams, we look towards the divine that holds the balance, we find there pure love as the
fundamental force of everything that streams continuously, forming the human being
outwardly, and giving him soul and spirit inwardly.’
Dr. Michaela Gloeckler will offer a presentation on the relationship between Rudolf Steiner and Ita Wegman;

Jaimen McMillan will work with the verse Rudolf Steiner gave
to Ita, with an eye on ‘Balancing the inner and outer movement of the I Organization through Spacial Dynamics; Angela Foster shares on The Blessing of each Word we speak;

Milena Kowarik from the Executive Council in Switzerland will speak to finding the balance and what does this mean in our time?;

Dottie Zold will share from her life’s
work on the Buddha Eightfold Path/Daily Exercises which along with the Essential Six
can create a culture of selflessness and the development of our etheric heart in relations
to Rudolf Steiner’s body of work.
Please join us for our third annual Ita Wegman gathering in Chicago. This year, online
and in person, we will look at how can we find the balance within ourselves and what Ita
Wegman has to offer to the conversation as someone who lived during the time of Nazi Germany and the great chaos within the Vorstand after the death of Rudolf Steiner.

In a notebook from Easter 1940, Ita Wegman writes ‘…Remain as neutral as possible – not because it is convenient, but out of a love for humanity…Those who are neutral in the
most genuine way will comprise the third army, which has the spirit as its weapon and unites with the dead whose souls have been awakened and who are being led by Michael
in the suprasensory worlds.
