Steiner’s approach to health is a complementary medicine bringing together the outstanding technical skills of modern western medicine with traditional western environmental medicine. It adds a new intuitive approach to health as a totally individual matter where illness is part of our karmic path and the “I” of each patient is a profound agent of healing.

This lecture is part of a Special Crazy Wisdom Salon Series on Anthroposophy and Rudolf Steiner's Work

Building “A Future Worthy of the Human Being” Four nights in October, 7 p.m. at Crazy Wisdom Tea Room

A century ago, one of the most remarkable human beings of the last millennium, the Austrian-born Rudolf Steiner, undertook to shift the direction of our emerging global civilization. He restored a holistic image of the human being to the center of cultural thought and set out to bring humanity’s soul and spiritual resources back into balance with materialistic science, technology, and economics. Trained as a scientist but also a profound esoteric researcher, Steiner developed resources for every individual to evolve herself or himself as a free and creative local change agent in planetary life. In this series of talks/conversations, we will explore his vision, its amazing breadth, and three of its particular applications. Free.

Oct. 4 • Anthroposophy: The Consciousness of Our Humanity with Professor Frederick Amrine and Editor John Beck • Steiner’s “spiritual science” aims to awaken just those powers of perception which are excluded in materialistic culture. So we rediscover the cosmic significance of being human and the pattern of repeated lives, and begin to take part as co-designers of the evolutionary plan.

Oct. 11 • Biodynamics: Nutrition for the Soul, Healing for the Earth with Paul Bantle and Annie Elder of The Community Farm of Ann Arbor • One of Steiner’s last initiatives, and a foundation for the organic movement, was biodynamic agriculture. Here, the human being stands as the conscious ego in a farm organism of animals, plants, and soil, open to sun, moon, and stars. The food produced works to support our awareness of interconnected life and of the cosmos.

Oct. 25 • Waldorf Education for the Whole Child with Teachers Lawrence Mathews and Mary Emery • Steiner is best known for his educational initiative, a response to an appeal by factory workers for an education for their children that would open up to them all of life’s opportunities. Waldorf sees the child as already a unique individual, going through archetypal stages of development which affect the needs and potential for learning. The teacher acts as a social artist, assisting each child in opening the fullest human potential.
