Leaves growing from branches

In 2018 a ‹Branch Newsletter› was initiated with thoughts, quotes and tips for events. It comes out irregularly, whenever enough contributions have come together.

The newsletter, called Zweigblatt¹, was started in 2018 by Franziska Bücklers, who finds it important that people are in contact and that the «organism of the Anthroposophical Society is brought to life» through this publication. Her guiding questions are: How can we support each other, know of each other and promote anthroposophy without complaining about and criticizing each other? How can free will and selfless support within the Society grow from the active engagement of ‹lone fighters› (with all possible intermediate stages)? And lastly: Do we live in a parallel society as anthroposophists? Which is the ‹real› life? To what extent do we manage to integrate anthroposophy in our daily life?

Inspiring inner deepening

The contributions to this newsletter are printed in different colours and include information provided by the editor, articles, reports from branches, information regarding initiatives, as well as memoirs and quotations by Rudolf Steiner and others, such as Elisabeth Vreede. Topics addressed so far include co-existence, the hundred-year rhythm, threefolding, and the relationship between the Anthroposophical Society and the Christian Community. The quotations inspire inner deepening, for instance Adelheid Petersen’s recollection of a statement by Rudolf Steiner that working for many years on a character weakness «brings you much further than listening to a hundred lectures or even knowing all the cycles by heart».

Zweigblatt is presently published in German and French.
