From DaVinci to Dave: Science, Armaments and Money
2025-08-09 14:00 - 15:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
All Dates and Times are U.S. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

Throughout history, nearly every technological advance has been distorted in some way to advance the war-like ambitions of various empires. Vast amounts of money have always been spent to bring this about. This combination of militarism and financial reward makes fertile ground for Ahriman to advance his agenda. In this personal essay, Dave will explore the impact this has had on his career, his father’s career and the career of Leonardo DaVinci.

All Dates and Times are U.S. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

Why is meditation so important to prepare us for Ahriman’s incarnation? What kind of meditation? How are its results effective for facing Ahriman? Can we go beyond Ahriman’s mechanical model for the Human Being? What are we? How might new meditation help us to become more aware of our humanity? We will explore how using meditative practices can awaken us to the elementals – even the Ahrimanic elementals. We can use such meditative practices to help redeem.

The Western World Order as a platform for Ahriman
2025-08-10 09:30 - 10:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
All Dates and Times are U.S. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

The rise of technocratic societies has created excellent conditions to manipulate the masses through the media, to exercise mind control, to spread worldwide fear. Ahrimanic beings are working through a technological infrastructure, influencing our consciousness and undermining our creative, moral and spiritual intelligence. The Western World Order is ready for the emergence of Ahriman. The United States might lose their dominant position due to the ascent of a plurilateral world order, but this does not have to hinder Ahriman, who will work globally and according to the Russian mystic Vladimir Soloviev, present himself as a world savior. Bringing light into the coming Ahrimanic darkness, Rudolf Steiner spoke of the Second Coming of Christ and of the necessity to create an infrastructure of spiritual communities in which Christ can work.

Achieving Enlightenment in the Age of Technology
2025-08-10 13:00 - 14:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
All Dates and Times are U.S. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

Spiritual science helps us understand the very purpose of life. Through the study of spiritual science, we can experience how the human being is being formed – how we are all in the divine cauldron of creation. We are a work in progress, moving through development arcs ordained by mighty spiritual beings. Enlightenment, or the birth of the higher self, is a natural, wonderful process, through which an individual truly becomes a human being. Most of us are apprenticing at being a human being, and some days better than others. But we can take this situation in hand. We can, once we are clear on what is required, put our backs into it. We can accelerate this natural process of becoming in a wholesome way by undertaking meditative efforts which facilitate our development.

REGISTER NOW!

As part of his talk, Robert will provide an overview of the meditative path, showing how it must begin with aspects of everyday consciousness that hide developmental potential. These occult doorways are hidden in plain sight. Rudolf Steiner shows us where to find them, how to open them, and what we will experience as we cross these thresholds of becoming. Robert will address questions such as, “can I still achieve enlightenment when I am immersed in the realm of Ahriman” or “if my job requires 10 hours a day of computer time, must I do something different to attain enlightenment” or “given how much the world has changed in the last 100 years, are there additional steps to attain enlightenment today?”

Stepping Towards Threefolding, a panel discussion.
2025-09-21 19:30 - 21:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Rudolf Steiner. Of the many major initiatives that he brought, social threefolding was his most prominent focus in the last years of his life. He introduced it formally in his book, now variously titled Toward Social Renewal or The Core Points of the Social Question, in early 1919; he also talked with government leaders in Central Europe and worked to influence a significant vote in Upper Silesia. He nearly succeeded at both levels, and his ideas were lauded in the New York Times. This was during great tumult in Germany after its defeat in WW1. The Bolsheviks had seized power in Russia, and their socialist ideas were widely popular among disaffected workers in Germany. Steiner rejected all ideology, characterizing it as a restriction and imposition on what lives in people. Instead, Steiner sought to create conditions whereby people themselves could act creatively within the economy (through associations of all stakeholders), within politics (through more participatory forms of direct democracy), and within culture (through the autonomy of teachers, researchers, clerics, and other cultural workers). What was this Threefold Movement? Why did it fail? How does Steiner’s time compare to our time? With AI and robotics entering the workforce, and with the current polarization of our society, are the concepts of Threefolding needed even more today?

1) Seth Jordan. Seth is a writer and organizer who works with various organizations and groups in the US and abroad. He has worked intensively with Rudolf Steiner’s social insights (often called “social threefolding”) for many years and has written a 12-lesson distance-learning course on that topic called “Transforming Society” (educaredo.org/transforming-society). He writes about contemporary events — seeking to make sense of them from a whole society perspective — at thewholesocial.substack.com. Seth co-founded and directed Think OutWord, a peer-led training for young adults in social threefolding that ran intensive workshops and conferences for 8 years. Seth has worked with various initiatives including Free Columbia and The Nature Institute.

2) Linda Lingane. Linda trained as a Waldorf teacher in the late 1990s primarily to get more understanding of her son’s schooling. In 2014 during a group meditation, she heard “threefolding” whispered lightly as a message from the future. Upon investigating, she realized that would be the focus of the rest of her life. She wrote two short intros to threefolding geared to a general audience. In 2024 she retired from her administrative work at Stanford University in order to focus full-time on threefolding. She is part of one study group and facilitates meetings of two groups that are devoted to finding ways to implement threefolding. Education: BA, Wellesley College; MBA, University of Santa Clara

The Role of Mani in the Future of Christianity
2025-10-19 15:00 - 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Although this talk will focus on the future of the individual Mani and his role in human evolution, we will review who were part of his stream. The Manichaean stream becomes central in the future, especially in the sixth cultural age, when humanity must learn to live amid an environment saturated with evil and to redeem this evil through love. Mani has been preparing the human capacity for the conscious transformation of evil as a fulfillment of the Christ impulse. This will be a realization of Johannine Christianity.

The New Pegasus Project: A contribution to modern screen culture
2025-11-23 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Humans must interact with Light. Today our exposure to sunlight has been greatly reduced as we use electric light and LED screens. We think of color in terms of light waves and photon particles. Color has an intrinsic quality to it, affecting our soul life. Does digital technology change our relationship to color? Join us on this webinar where together with Nathaniel Williams and his work we can address these topics. Inspired by Rudolf Steiner’s indications, a team of four light artists led by Nathaniel Williams has been exploring color with artistic instruments for light projection. This Pegasus Project involves the fabrication of a new generation of analogue projection instruments. They hope to originate an interdisciplinary performing art by March 2026.

En Arche en Ho Logos - In the beginning was the Word!
2025-12-07 16:00 - 18:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Artificial intelligence currently has a particularly strong impact on human language. This is a good time to remind us that the words of our languages are not mere haphazard groupings of sounds conveying abstract meanings, but are living creative forms whose colors, resonances, sound combinations, rhythms and gestures speak experientially of their content. Indeed, within the spoken word the living breath of creation can be deeply experienced. In this talk we will explore the original origin of language inspired into the human being by the folk spirits, the Archangels in various stages of development. We will explore the present and future power of the creative word not merely as a means of communication as is now commonly thought, but as a magic power, an abracadabra , a create as you speak gift from Christ, the representative of humanity. A speech possessing moral healing power and eventually procreation of humanity.”

Looking at Climate Change from a Goethean Perspective: Crisis and Opportunity
2026-02-15 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York)
The present perspective on climate change is based on the use of computer models, produced by meteorologists, physicists, statisticians, computer analysts, etc. It offers us the perspective of the Earth as a closed system. From a Goethean perspective living systems, and ultimately our planet, are open systems in constant exchange and evolution with a larger environment.

Climate change is apparent but the cause remains a debate. One book, The Living Climate: Computer Modelling or Planetary Harmonics, is an example of those attempting to look at this issue of climate change from a new perspective, in this case from three complementary perspectives that indicate anthropogenic climate change is due to more than only the rise of CO2 levels in the atmosphere.This does not mean that there are no global concerns. Central to the three perspectives is the mediating role of the water cycle, whose fulness is threatened at present. This webinar will look at just one of these three: the perspective of world ecology offered us by the work of Viktor Schauberger. Under this lens phenomena show that it is the integrity of the water cycle and, most of all, the vibrancy of the etheric sphere that are threatened. A fuller understanding of Gaia’s ecology spells out reasons for great concern, but also offers us ways forward not based on models, but on a deeper understanding of the cycle of water and of new ways of generating energy.

About the speaker

Luigi Morelli’s involvement with natural sciences began with his undergraduate studies in Biology/ Ecology in 1979 and his graduate studies in Environmental Sciences in 1981. He went on to study bio-dynamics and Goethean natural sciences at Emerson College, UK. From then on he was interested in spiritual science, primarily in the social field, in the natural sciences and in free spiritual research as published in various of his books (www.millenniumculmination.net).In the following years he practiced organic and biodynamic farming and gardening both in Camphill settings or in business (ecological landscaping). Lately he has been interested in pursuing a phenomenological understanding of the work of Viktor Schauberger and that of Theodor Landscheidt (astrobiology). Once one understands these, then one can see the matter of climate change differently. The Living Climate arose as a synthesis of these two approaches and more in response to the climate change paradigm. In parallel to the above he has been working at understanding some aspects of phenomenological science in terms of the personal experience of health through the work of Dr. Edward Bach and Dr Geerd Hamer. He synthesized some of the above and other research in Illness and the Soul.

An Anthroposophical Perspective on Human Evolution
2026-03-15 15:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York)
Description: “In the primal beginning, the Logos was.” Anthroposophy also places the Logos at the beginning of human evolution. Before earthly bodies were prepared, we humans existed in the spiritual world as spiritual beings. Through the Logos, all things became. The human is thus related to all earthly things. We will explore this Anthroposophical perspective on evolution, comparing it to Natural Science and Metallicity. We will then use this basis to look ahead at what we can expect.
