Anthroposophy

Today human beings as individuals face the challenges of finding guiding principles for ourselves, for our thoughts and for our actions. Acquiring a conscious relationship to spiritual realities often becomes a necessity in this process. Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925) developed a method of perception into spiritual reality appropriate for people today, designated as Anthroposophy, «knowledge of the human being». This approach to knowledge offers not only an individual spiritual orientation but also impulses for many aspects of culture including new possibilities for education, nutrition, medicine, agriculture, art and civil society.

The Goetheanum

The Goetheanum provides the opportunity to meet Anthroposophy, to deepen an already established relationship to it and to work with it as a source of inspiration for tasks in life. The Goetheanum is the seat of the School of Spiritual Science and the General Anthroposophical Society. Also the Goetheanum is a cultural center and a place for international meetings. It accommodates research institutes, artistic  raining facilities, stages for drama, music and eurythmy. Every year, thousands of guests visit the Goetheanum from all over the world as sightseers or to participate in conferences, artistic events and seminars concerned with current issues.

Studying at the Goetheanum

The Goetheanum offers its students many unique possibilities. They have access to a variety of different activities such as theatre, eurythmy and concert performances as well as events sponsored by the various Sections (departments) of the School of Spiritual Science. The library, the Rudolf Steiner Archive, the Kepler Observatory and the gardens on the campus of the Goetheanum meet various individual interests. Also the cultural attractions of nearby Basel offer other interesting activities to students of all ages and from all parts of the world.
