2020 AGM: invitation and agenda

Dear Members,The previous edition of Anthroposophy Worldwide (1–2/2020) included the programme of the General Anthroposophical Society’s Annual Conference from 2 to 5 April 2020.

The motto of this year’s conference is taken from the Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts: To Willingly Unite With the World in love. We also invite you warmly to this year’s Annual General Meeting and look forward to seeing you there.

For the first time, members will have the possibility to stream part of the Annual Conference, either live or on demand. Please make sure you apply for a login in good time (see information at the end of this article)! Whether or not this will offer more members across the world the chance to participate will be evaluated afterwards.

Please note that booking is essential for this conference! | Justus Wittich, Joan Sleigh, Constanza Kaliks and Matthias Girke for the Executive Council at the Goetheanum
