The Tenth Annual MysTech Conference was recorded live August 6–9, 2026. It has concluded, and the recordings are open now.
For our landmark 10th conference, we turned our attention to the etheric realm — the domain of living, formative forces that lies between the physical plane and the higher spiritual planes. As technology increasingly shapes the conditions of modern life, understanding these life forces becomes essential for counterbalancing our slide via technology into sub-nature.
Our speakers explored practices, such as eurythmy, for opening doors to etheric perception. Using Goethean science, we sought the living qualities within substances and elements. Can each of us strengthen our etheric vitality to fully participate in our age of screens and social media? Can we find Christ in the etheric to be our brother as we necessarily tread through Ahriman’s sphere?
The unedited recordings are available now — six live streams covering all four days. They are the live streams exactly as they went out, nothing cut. There is no need to watch in order and no need to hurry.
Individual edited sessions — each talk on its own — are being prepared, and will be published when they are ready.
“We can only become sure of ourselves as human beings if we walk the road created by the whole of technology, but do not let our lives be governed by the products of technology, and grow able to behold the Christ power that can become part of us and overcome all those products of technology.”
— Rudolf Steiner
“Through meditation the etheric body gets the tendency to become separated from the physical body.”
— Rudolf Steiner
