Groups

Group study can play an important role in one’s experience and understanding of anthroposophy. Reading and discussing literature, such as lecture cycles of Rudolf Steiner and written works by contemporary authors, such as Sergei O. Prokofieff, can have multiple positive effects. Reading this material can help participants gain an intellectual understanding of anthroposophy. Perhaps more importantly, the ideas and word-pictures encountered in the readings can foster inner acknowledgement and regard for a domain not perceived through one’s senses. Independent-mindedness, measured consideration and healthy critical thinking are encouraged, within a culture of respect for one another.

CW = Collected Works translated from German into English of Rudolf Steiner. This bibliographical list is referenced in German as GA. More than 350 numbered works comprise collections of transcribed lectures (6000+), and authored books, essays, letters, plays, poetry, etc. (40+). The lectures were spoken to public audiences, Anthroposophical Society members (after 1912), Theosophical Society members (prior to 1913), and to specific groups including university students, farmers, doctors, teachers, pastors, and artists. Lectures were given in many European countries, with the greatest concentration in Switzerland and Germany.

Join a group of friendly students
on Saturday mornings to work
with Rudolf Steiner’s book

How to Know Higher Worlds
(also translated as Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and Its Attainment)

We will read aloud together and have time for discussion. We’ll use Christopher Bamford’s translation, but if you have an older edition, that is fine, too. Using different translations of the text can be illuminating for the group. We have copies to borrow and used copies are available online.
