A first thank you for donations
Following the appeal for help with covering the shortfall of CHF 600,000 (up until 9 July) in income caused by events being cancelled due to Coronavirus, the first donations have now been received.
Dear members,
As treasurer I would like to express my heartfelt thanks for your spontaneous active response in the form of financial support! Having newly introduced the possibility to refer money electronically, we received the first donations within only a few hours after releasing the digital edition of Anthroposophy Worldwide 9/2020.
At the time of going to press, CHF 60,000 had been paid into our accounts. We are very grateful for this additional support for the Goetheanum; it helps us look more confidently towards the coming months.
As I write these lines, more than 500 people are gathering at the Goetheanum to open a major international conference in celebration of the centenary of Anthroposophic Medicine and to explore new forms of working together. With a detailed Covid-19 protective scheme in place, it is presently possible to organize this kind of event in Switzerland.
In addition to those who are able to attend the conference in person, there are parallel events in other places around the world that will link up with the Goetheanum per video to send messages, so that a global celebration is possible despite the current restrictions.
Encouraged by this, we are looking forward to further joint events.
