Three Springs Community Farm needs your help

Three Springs Community Farm needs your help. 

We still need to enroll 9 more CSA Members for this season to meet our operations budget, otherwise we will have to consider cutting staff and will have a very difficult time completing our season. 

So far this season the vegetables are beautiful and the farm fields are all planted out, now we just need to fill our membership so we can get that beautiful produce to the community! We all buy food–please consider supporting a Biodynamic, Anthroposophical initiative with some of your food dollars.

We have pickup locations throughout the Bay Area, and the CSA Membership includes unlimited free camping at the farm in Freestone, Sonoma County ($75 value). (We suggest if you would like a half-share, to please find another family to split a share with). See below for details…

What Is Forged in the West

What Is Forged in the West

an Interview with Alejandro Urtizberea

The following is a conversation between Western Regional Council Member Jeremiah Turner and Alejandro Urtizberea, visiting board member of the Anthroposophical Society of Argentina. It took place at the Plant Cafe Organic in San Francisco on May 10th, 2026, as part of the regular “Second Sundays” monthly meetings hosted by “Medical Freedom, San Francisco” and “Plant Community”.

Transcribed and edited by Jeremiah Turner and Colene Turner.

Jeremiah: Welcome, Alejandro!

Alejandro: Thank you.

Jeremiah: First, could you please introduce yourself to our readers who might not be familiar with you or your work?

Alejandro: Well, I consider myself an entrepreneur. I am working in Argentina but also now all around the world. I am very focused on working with young people and on financial literacy courses. I have been working for the last five years on the board of the Anthroposophical Society in Argentina. I am part of the School of Spiritual Science in the School of Michael. I am trying to really experience all of this activity not only as an individual or as a member of the community, but rather – I really have this impulse to connect with the world. And I would say this is a need in Anthroposophical work. 

Jeremiah: Yes. Please say a little more about that need. 

Alejandro: I can give some practical examples. Many people can say that certain things in the Anthroposophical Society are not happening. And I would say that you are the Anthroposophical Society. You are part of the Society. So this comes down to what kind of consciousness we have about who we are, and where we are, and when we are acting. We are acting in the name of what? Where is the awareness around this?

I think that things are changing in a very fast way. The world is getting smaller and in some ways we are becoming more and more connected, and yet at the same time many people are experiencing the opposite. So why is humanity experiencing a profound sense of loneliness at the time of this age of rapid communication?  Why are we experiencing a kind of inner life that goes in the opposite direction?

Jeremiah: Right! We’ve got this increase in interconnectedness in terms of the facility of global travel and communication. You can post something instantly and people can see it all over the world. This has all increased. But at the same time, you’ve got young people who have become more inward or isolated or don’t know how to connect with other people face to face. They’ve lost something … or maybe this indicates that they are developing new capacities, perhaps that haven’t quite evolved or developed yet? 

But I experience there’s something of a hyperindividualization happening, where people are in the process of  becoming more themselves but simultaneously losing a sense of their relationship to other human beings or to the world around them. Is that partly what you’re referring to?

Alejandro: Yes. I think that my reflection about that is that we have a big challenge in this epoch. A challenge to become really an individual, a strong individual. And that has a collateral effect on the antisocial impulses that arrive with this individualization. So many times we are having conversations about Fraternity and Threefolding – and this is very challenging, because how can we achieve those grand ideas, these big images, and at the same time develop our individuality? And how can we be sure that the steps we are taking in this process are not steps before the proper moment, before the proper time?

Crossings: Caring for Our Beloveds in Life and Death

By

Spiritual content, specifically related to karma and reincarnation (from GA236 to GA240, and others), is linked to the permeability that human beings need to develop in order to grasp it through life experiences, since it is not possible to attain it solely through intellectual thought. The efforts of Crossings as an initiative are specifically aimed at developing this permeability through exercises. These exercises also address two specific recommendations of Rudolf Steiner: strengthening our vital structure under waking consciousness and intensifying our activity during sleep under dream consciousness.

The Planets: our cosmic family

By

A Zoom talk by Howard Smith

10 am Pacific Time – Saturday, May 16

Rudolf Steiner often spoke of the planets from different aspects: for example as the homes of spiritual beings, and as physical entities in space. Some of his views were far ahead of his time and many can be related to modern findings.

Modern space research has produced phenomenal insights into the physical aspects of the solar system, and NASA has released many astounding close-up photographs.

In this talk Howard will attempt to bring these two approaches together, to narrow the gulf between natural science and spiritual science.

Howard is a life-long student of Anthroposophy, has a PhD in Chemistry, and founded the Science Group of the Anthroposophic Society Great Britain.https://sciencegroup.org.uk/

 A Mighty Devotion: The Manichaean Path in the Consciousness Soul Age

By

A talk with Andrew Sullivan

Andrew Sullivan is a poet, philosopher, educator, and interdisciplinary artist and thinker. He has been connected with the Sacramento Waldorf school for most of his life as a student, high school teacher, and teacher of teachers. He seems to be getting more interested in and devoted to spiritual science as the years and incarnations pile up and feels much that we are experiencing today has been incarnations in the making. He lives in Midtown Sacramento with his wife, Megan, and has two adult daughters, Rosa and Lily.

Professional Eurythmy Performance 7PM May 2nd Dakin Hall, SFWS

By

Please join us for a Eurythmy performance from Sol Metamorfloses at The San Francisco Waldorf School 2938 Washington St. San Francisco, CA

Will the Future takes audiences on a journey to uncover the origin of evil and the power in the human being that can overcome it. We artistically offer the path of initiation toward the birth of the higher self as outlined by Rudolf Steiner through this performance. Eurythmy is performed to poetry and music by: Victor Hugo, Annie Lighthart, Diane Robitelle, Aleksander Solzhenitsyn, Rudolf Steiner, J.S. Bach, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Franz Liszt, and more.

Join us again at SFWS May 3rd at 9:30AM for a performance for children and families: The 3 Little Pigs. Why was this tale chosen for these times? The three little pigs have to leave their mother and build their own houses. Even with their ideal in mind the first two pigs settle for less. Each chooses their own materials and invests more or less of themselves in the process of building their home. Each human being has the task of creating a dwelling for our soul and spirit. The home that each one of us creates for our essential self makes us more or less vulnerable to outer influences (the forces of death) that can destroy our true intentions (the force of birth in the spiritual). Inner tranquility is needed to unfold the creativity that can transform challenges into opportunity. The three little pigs remind us that we build the foundation of our own lives out of the forces of death or of life. We must create strong houses to meet and transform the wolf of our modern time: Materialism

From our audiences:

~Wow, I am speechless…I have seen a lot of eurythmy in my life and this is of such high quality.

~I was deeply moved by how your performance revealed the unseen world. It gives me courage to reach to the unseen in my own work.

~ I have never seen eurythmy before. I was able to see the music in your movement.

~Thank you all so much for this meaningful performance! So heartwarming, funny and thoughtful!

~This performance brought me nourishment, strength, and courage.

~It is not only eurythmy that you are bringing, it is brotherhood.

~ Me encanto mucho.
