How Anthroposophical Groups Can Prepare for the Sixth Cultural Age with Michael Howard

How Anthroposophical Groups Can Prepare for the Sixth Cultural Age

A Workshop with Michael Howard

Sponsored by the Anthroposophical Society in Greater Boston

Saturday, January 28, 2023
9 am – 12:30
Lexington Waldorf School

“The whole purpose of spiritual science is to prepare in this sense for the sixth cultural age.”
-Rudolf Steiner, Preparing for the Sixth Cultural Age, 1915

For this workshop, Michael will offer some leading thoughts to bring to life the vision Rudolf Steiner offers regarding how preparing for the sixth cultural age is a task for anthroposophical groups. This will include a conceptual and experiential exploration about the role of the arts in metamorphosing our current culture towards that of the sixth cultural age. This will lead us into creative dialogue that can awaken impulses for future initiatives.

Participation is limited. Registration is required.
To register, email Cynde Reilly at cyndeswims59@gmail.com

Workshop Fee is $25 to $50; $40 is estimated as sustaining.

Michaelmas Festival 2022

We warmly welcome all members and friends to join us for a Michaelmas festival and potluck. We will be meeting outdoors in order to ameliorate the ongoing risk of covid variants, and hoping that the weather will be amenable! This year we look forward to exploring riddles and their relationship to Michael, in addition to sharing thoughts on Rudolf Steiner’s lecture on September 27, 1923, titled “Michael, the Dragon, and the Human Soul.”

We will also sing!

Climbing Jacob’s Ladder – Celebrating the Festival of Ascension with Hazel Archer-Ginsberg

In heavy clouds let Him ascend

And so also let Him downward tread.

In cooling streams let Him be sent,

In flames of fire blaze His descent,

In air & essence, sound & dew

To permeate our whole earth thru” ~Novalis

Ascension is a Festival of the Elements, & of the Hierarchies; it relates to the Transfiguration and the fulfillment of the promise of the “Second Coming”. Together we will explore the mystery of ‘As Above so Below’
