The Programs organized by the Program Committee of our Branch are designed to familiarize our members and friends with the content of Spiritual Science and give them more familiarity with the essence of Anthroposophy.
We strive to provide our audience with the best teachers and practitioners in the field of Anthroposophy from around the world, who share their latest Spiritual Scientific research in the fields of medicine, agriculture, natural science, pedagogy, meditation, the arts, and more. Many of them have given presentations via Zoom to our memberships and friends this past year and plan to offer additional lectures hosted by our Branch in the near future.
One of our goals is to create a worldwide informal community of friends of Anthroposophy

Inner Awakening for Global Change:
A Journey with Meditation and Spiritual Research
Online presentation by
Inessa Burdich
spiritual-science-research.com/
Given that learning through biographical examples can be very helpful and instructive, Inessa will begin her presentation by sharing some of her personal journey with meditation and research projects. We will then delve into the crucial challenges of the present, exploring the hidden spiritual battles that underlie the material world, as understood through Anthroposophy. Drawing on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, the presentation will address the concealed issues between materialism and spirituality, offering insights into how inner development through meditation and "cleansing" of negativity in personal biography can serve as a powerful tool for personal development in order to be able to make a practical and positive contribution to transforming the pressing concerns of our time.
Spiritual Science research represents a further advancement of personal meditative work, distinguishing itself by its systematic investigation and cognitive method of refinement. Research or contemplative inquiry extends into a diligent quest for knowledge of the higher worlds, exploring both the inner self and the external world. Through this relentless pursuit of researching, individuals are empowered to navigate modern problems and contribute meaningfully to the renewal of the world.
Participants will be invited to join in meditation exercises and small group conversations to deepen their understanding of the themes addressed during the presentation. Additionally, to overview the Spiritual Science Research course, we will conclude with a Q&A session to further explore the insights presented.

Breathing our Future Life
Online presentation by
Andrew Linnell
Anthroposophical meditations and activities, such as eurythmy, loosen one's etheric body from the physical. This would be dangerous without evolutionary changes. Our physical body inhales oxygen. What does our loosened etheric body inhale? And exhale? We'll explore the New Yoga arising out of Anthroposophy.

Exercises in the ability to differentiate between our astral, etheric and elemental bodies
Practical workshop #1 by Are Thoresen
Unfortunately, Are Thoresen's planned tour of Canada, and the West Coast of the US was cancelled,
so, we have organized his planned seminars in an online format.
We are opening a new series of PRACTICAL Workshops with Are Thoresen, dedicated exclusively to practical exercises.
The ability to read in the book of Nature is one of the tasks set by Rudolf Steiner for us 100 years ago during the Christmas Foundation Meeting. These seminars are for those who want to implement this in life.
The basics of this group of exercises were described by Rudolf Steiner in his lectures in Helsinki in 1912, GA No. 136, April 3.
