The Earth as Substance of our Destiny
The earth is our inherent home, it is the very substance of our destiny. Today, however, this existential fundament of life is shaking. How to solve the socio-ecological crisis, the central question of our time, has reached the center of global debate.
What is the contribution of the work inspired by Anthroposophy? How to integrate the worldview that Anthroposophy introduced more than 100 years ago? And what can we learn from organizations and initiatives that contribute towards sustainable development out of Anthroposophy for decades?
These are some of the questions we will explore together in this online seminar.
