Anthroposophy
Tin is at the Waldorf School, which was founded by Rudolph Steiner over 90 years ago to address the needs of a post WWI community, a community that needed to radically reinvent itself. Steiner founded Waldorf – now 1000 schools around the world – as a force for social change. However, he also founded the biodynamic movement as well as an entire philosophy called Anthroposophy. From this philosophy sprang a dynamic and transforming movement that speaks to the mind, body and soul of not only children but all of us (teachers, parents, and citizens).
Four amazing speakers are going to be at Tulane – their presence together is unprecedented, their arrival here in New Orleans is probably once in a lifetime. They will be at Freeman Auditorium at 7PM on Tuesday, April 17th so if you are interested in learning more about Steiner’s philosophy that was before its time but more importantly of our time, about biodynamic farming and gardening, about social finance, about how Waldorf Schools contextually represent social change for each community they inhabit, and about how anthroposophy matters today, then please come to this unique event.
Also a film clip will be shown from award winning BBC documentarian Jonathan Stedall’s “The Challenge of Rudolf Steiner” – Stedall has covered other great thinkers such as Ghandi in his documentaries.
