The diversity of anthroposophy

In the autumn of 2019 an initiative on diversity in anthroposophy in the Freiburg area (DE) has become a specialized group (cf. Statutes of the Anthroposophical Society, Article 4).

We started as an initiative trying to breathe new life into the anthroposophical life in Freiburg. From the start it was our intention to work both internally and publically. Our aim was to connect people and initiatives and facilitate productive encounters with anthroposophy for anyone interested.

Starting in 2014, we have been organizing countless events, both at the Freiburg Rudolf Steiner House and in other venues around the city, in order to call attention to anthroposophy’s power to enhance our humanity. At the moment we are studying social issues and we are looking at how we can evolve as individuals. Our organizational team meets every two weeks; and in the weeks in between an open group comes together and discusses aspects of anthroposophy.

Our most recent topic was the Christmas Conference of 1923/1924, where we were amazed at how future-oriented and humane the statutes of the newly founded General Anthroposophical Society are. We realized that, since our initiative is concerned with a particular subject-matter, we are actually a ‘specialized group’!

Our work has brought us into contact with new people and we appreciate that we can now receive those who wish this into the General Anthroposophical Society. And it is equally important to us that anyone can join our group, be it in an active or supporting role, and independently of whether they are members or not.
