"In the meetings of the Anthroposophical Society a great truth can be experienced. When human beings meet together seeking the spirit with unity of purpose then they will also find their way to each other — they will find the path from soul to soul." Rudolf Steiner

The Anthroposophical Society in America is the national organ of the General Anthroposophical Society, founded by Rudolf Steiner in 1923 as "an association of people who would foster the life of the soul, both in the individual and in human society, on the basis of a true knowledge of the spiritual world."

Rudolf Steiner's writings, lectures, and artistic and practical activities offered a wealth of insights into the spiritual dimensions of our world. Since his death in 1925, many people have sought to continue his research through study, reflection and meditation, and to apply it in many areas of human endeavor. The international center for this work is the School for Spiritual Science, at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland.

Membership in the society is open to everyone regardless of nationality, social standing, scientific or artistic conviction, or religion. It is entirely non-secratarian, and nonpolitical. The sole criterion for membership is "to consider as justified the existence of a School for Spiritual Science."
