Anthroposophy is a source of spiritual knowledge and a practice of inner development. Through it one seeks to penetrate the mystery of our relationship with the spiritual world by searching for answers and insights that come through a schooling of one’s inner life. It draws, and strives to build, on the spiritual research of Rudolf Steiner, who maintained that every human being (anthropos) has the inherent wisdom (sophia) to solve the riddles of existence and to transform both self and society. Rudolf Steiner shared the results of this research in 40 books and in over 6,000 lectures now available in 300 volumes. He is increasingly recognized as a seminal thinker of the 20th century and one of humanity’s great spiritual teachers.
The Anthroposophical Society was founded by Rudolf Steiner in Switzerland in 1923. It seeks to support individuals who are working on their own inner development and who wish to bring the fruit of that inner work to benefit the wider world. As a modern path of knowing, its doors are open to all who seek its approach and who wish to support its activities. Today, anthroposophical activity is alive in communities around the world.
During the course of his life, Steiner collaborated with doctors, therapists, farmers, business people, teachers, scientists, and artists. These collaborations, in turn, created 
Waldorf schools, biodynamic agriculture, new economic and social models, the Camphill movement, anthroposophical medicine and thousands of other public and private initiatives worldwide. Other collaborations focused on the arts, creating new forms of expression in both the visual and performing arts, such as eurythmy.
