Welcome
The Goetheanum is many things in one: a liberal arts college, a unique architectural work, an international place for civic engagement. But above all, it is a place where many people from many cultures seek the human being, an understanding of the present, of human dignity.

English is the language of communication, the text studies are conducted in German, English and Spanish/Portuguese. The contacts made here form a lively and worldwide network.
Professional Development
Leadership Course
As a society, as organizations and as individuals we find ourselves confronted with unprecedented challenges. The Goetheanum Leadership Courses are based on the assumption that these challenges require a new form of leadership, one that allows us individually and as members of a leadership team to step into new terrain and to find and implement a transformative vision. The courses – the ‘Intensive Week Course’ and the ‘Two Module Course’ – aim to provide an exploration of practices based on Anthroposophy
Adult Education Program
Anthroposophy and anthroposophic initiatives, now in the second century after their inauguration, find themselves in a changed world. What they can contribute to meeting the challenges of this world has become more relevant and accessible. At the same time the awareness of contexts and the longing for personalized learning paths and authentic learning experiences calls for new approaches in anthroposophic adult education.
Alumni
How can the study of anthroposophy continue after our time at the Goetheanum? In what ways can we integrate what we have gained through anthroposophy into our work and everyday life? And how can we connect with other alumni and build a worldwide network?
