Inner Development

Theme of the Year.

The Foundation Stone Meditation. Help working with this theme can be found here. “With the Goetheanum World Conference at Michaelmas 2016 we have made the Foundation Stone Meditation a central theme. In its form and content, this meditation comprises everything that is essential for the structure and development of the Anthroposophical Society and the School of Spiritual Science. Over and above that, it can yield a wealth of inspirations for joint and individual study. The Foundation Stone Meditation has been translated into many languages and can help us to prepare ourselves, whilst connecting with its origin, for the centenary of the Christmas Conference of 1923–24.”
