online opportunities

Explore Our Many Online Selections

We regularly offer virtual events that focus on a spiritual scientific approach to understanding human life, to enhance our conscious participation in the cycle of the year, and in the world. Topics range from the festival cycle to pedagogy, to caring for the dead, and nourishing the earth ~ and many more aspects of human life as experienced through a true knowledge of the spiritual world. Such an approach not only enhances our own awareness, but nurtures human and planetary health. Most online events are recorded so that they are available after their initial presentation, to support on-going study and research.

Reflections from Harvard's 100 Years Rudolf Steiner Conference

In December 2025, Harvard Divinity School's Program for the Evolution of Spirituality hosted a conference marking the centennial of the death of Rudolf Steiner. The 100 Years Rudolf Steiner conference was held at Harvard's Cambridge campus. Over 200 people came from across the world to attend in person, with more than 1000 people registered for online participation. Over the course of three days, 75+ researchers presented on a variety of topics related to Rudolf Steiner, to anthroposophy, and to the on-going presence of this work in the world. Now, we are pleased to announce that beginning.

Wednesday. July 29, 2026

Reflections from Harvard's 100 Years Rudolf Steiner Conference

During the December conference, and in order to accommodate the number of presentations, most speakers were limited to only 20 minutes, with two lecture rooms running concurrently; there was no way to physically attend every presentation. The three-day schedule was fully packed.

Our online program takes into account that:

• Many members of the ASA were able to attend the conference and have expressed an interest in hearing the talks that were missed
• Some of the presenters are ready to expand their talks to more than 20 minutes
• Many presenters and attendees have been thoughtfully considering what they experienced at the Harvard gathering and want to share how it has moved in their soul life in the months since the event - to explore their memories and after-images

Everyone is invited to join us for this exciting opportunity to work with the after-images of Harvard's stimulating conference, whether you were there or not, whether you were there in-person or online.

These presentations will be hosted via Zoom and recorded to watch later if you cannot attend live.

"Do not think that when you remember a thing that this is merely a process in your inner being. When you experience something, you cannot simply write it, as it were, in your notebook... But that which you remember, that you inscribe in the cosmic ether; and it is the cosmic ether which evokes it again in you, like the impression of a seal on sealing-wax, when you ought to remember it. Recollection is no mere personal affair, my dear friends, it implies an understanding with the cosmos. You cannot be alone when, as an inwardly collected human, you seek to recall your experiences; for remembering or failing to remember one’s experiences creates a disturbance in the being of humankind..." 

Rudolf Steiner, GA 194, December 7, 1919

The Trial of The Soul

Rudolf Steiner’s Mystery Dramas (1910-1913) are a series of four esoteric plays that explore the journey of the human soul through reincarnation, karma and spiritual awakening. These dramas are more than conventional theater; they serve as a tool for individual transformation and spiritual insight. These dramas illustrate the evolution of human consciousness, and can serve the individual along the path of self knowledge. In these 3 zoom sessions, Daniel Halfner will give an introduction to The Trial of the Soul. This course is for anyone interetsted in Rudolf Steiner's plays and especially for people seeking a way to prepare to attend the live performances planned in the United States in 2026. 

These 3 meetings will be recorded and shared with registered participants.
