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/

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.

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.

Sol Metamorfloses is a group of Eurythmists, Musicians, and Speakers who are dedicated to art as a transformative medium for their audiences and themselves.

An Evening on the Section for Inclusive Social Development 

Tuesday, May 26, 7:00 PM

Please join us for an evening on The Section for Inclusive Social Development, which is a faculty of the School of Spiritual Science (Goetheanum). 

Its core tasks are: 
– research, including through spiritual-scientific methods of inquiry
– personal and professional development, including through inner (esoteric, contemplative) pathways of practice
– building communities of practitioners to facilitate professional exchange
– peer consultation
– research and development in the various professional fields. 

The Section’s context is the interdisciplinary field of supportive education and inclusive social development, encompassing special needs education, early intervention, inclusive education, social work, social therapy, social pedagogy, inclusive community building (through intentional communities and through inclusive processes in the wider community) and related disciplines oriented towards supports for persons with disabilities or otherwise at risk of marginalization. 

We will hear how this work is currently taking place in our community, and in the wider world.

Anya Hobley is the Executive Co-Director of Camphill Communities California, where she has lived and worked for 16 years. She also serves as Director of Development & Outreach and as a member of the organization’s Board of Directors. She is a Waldorf graduate, with studies in Waldorf early childhood education, curative work, Social Therapy. She is a board member of the North American Council for Inclusive Social Development ( NAC), and has served for 8 years as the region’s international delegate to the work of inclusive social development in the world.

Gleice Paulino da Silva is a curative educator, a member of the Academy faculty at Camphill Communities California, and a teacher of professional adult education programs internationally. She particularly enjoys sharing the gift of healing stories and the power of storytelling and imagination to transform human situations. 

Natalia Paredes, originally from Puebla, Mexico, is a Physical Therapist with a degree from Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla. A graduate of Camphill Academy, she has lived and worked as part of the Camphill, CA community since 2019. She was part of the group, as were Anya and Gleice, who attended the opening of the new Section for Inclusive Social Development at the Goetheanum in Dornach.

or $10 for current paid branch members.

Please Raise the BAR by purchasing Biodynamic And Regenerative Foods

By

Dear Community Members,

Please Raise the BAR by purchasing Biodynamic And Regenerative Foods

Grocery store foods, both Organic & Conventional, are Fossil Fuel Food.

In these chaotic times, I am writing to you to encourage you to lock in Food Security for your family by investing in local, Biodynamic & carbon-neutral food producers like Three Springs Community Farm, and our Farming Friends listed below.… for your safety and security, and the health of the community & planet.

News reports forecast that fuel at the pump could rise to over $8 per gallon this year. Production and distribution in our current unsustainable food system relies heavily on fossil fuels.

Rising gas prices means higher costs at the pump, and the cost of the grocery store FOODS we rely on every day will also rise as a result.

Local, regeneratively-grown foods are orders of magnitude lower on fuel use, insulating them from these effects.

We may not be able to stop the forces that are driving rising fuel prices, but each of us can take steps to create the world we want by investing in our local farms to create a secure food system.

We do have the power to vote with our dollars! 

Checklist for Voting with Your Dollars in Our Community to Source and Support Biodynamic And Regenerative Foods:

1. Join the Three Springs CSA Vegetable Share Membership
We grow 45 different crops throughout the year, bringing LOCAL and IN-SEASON to a new level of nutritional value for your family. Our Members tell us they can TASTE the difference—and I’ll let you in on a secret—FLAVOR=NUTRITION. 

Our vegetables also represent a great value for the cost. They compare well with current organic grocery store prices, and even more so if you factor in the reality of FOOD as MEDICINE and rising food costs. 

We encourage you to take action in 2026 to bring high nutrient-density and food security to your plate. We deliver to locations throughout the Bay Area (San Rafael, SF, Oakland, El Sobrante, West Sonoma County)

2. Create locally sourced meals by also signing up with our Northern California Farming Friends:

A Better World Is Possible… 

Join us in localizing our food system. 

~Thank You, Willow Summer, Three Springs Community Farm
