Staying Connected Death Cafe

January 21, 2026 By Katja Wishart

Keeping Our Conversations Alive with Those we Love on the “Other Side”

For those who feel called to deepen their inner work and spiritual understanding
of living with and loving the “so-called-dead”  

Hosted on Anthroposophy.Social

Next Meeting: Saturday, Feb. 7th, 2026

9:30 am Pacific, 12:30 Eastern, 16:30 UK (with time change), 1:30 CET (with time change)

Conversation  –  Preparation  –  Meditation  –  Practice   

Facilitated by Sally Greenberg, Vivianne Sinclaire and Guests
Free offering for all subscribers to Anthroposophy.Social (between $3.46 and $7/month) – cancel anytime – includes access to all free platform events and recordings, including past death cafe recordings with practices to connect with our loved ones across the Threshold.

The “Staying Connected” Death Cafe is facilitated by Sally Greenberg and Vivianne Sinclaire with Guests

The Emphasis of this month’s Cafe will be to take time to practice the meditations we have learned in previous sessions to cultivate the conditions for connecting with our beloveds. Come prepared to “hold” and share about one individual you know and love who has died to our earthly live.

We’ll  begin our meeting with a “Logic of the Heart” Practice to come to heart coherence and inner peace before we practice connecting with those we love who have died with our “memory bridge” meditation. 

All are welcome to join this meeting as part of a Series of Death Cafes as we enter the time of year when the spiritual world draws nearest to us, including those we know who have loved and crossed.

Together, we’ll Research, Practice and Share:

  • How our Love and Living Heart-felt Memories Provide a Threshold Bridge
  • The Nature of Our Connection with Those who have Died  
  • Clarity of Connection from a Purified Heart Space
  • What’s Needed to Be in Service to the World in Partnership with those on the Other Side.
  • Threshold Awareness and Practical Meditations to Be in Connection
  • Ongoing Support and Mutual Threshold Practices through the Holy Nights

The Question of Evil

January 19, 2026 By Mark Zweifel

A Salon with Penelope Baring

Tuesday, January 27, 7:00 PM  

Paloma Hall
4096 Fairway Drive, Soquel

Penlope Baring will continue this topic as she has brought to us previously, speaking for about twenty minutes, with the aim of bringing us further along from the last time that we addressed the theme of evil. This may begin by going over some old ground, but we will deepen the exploration based on further indications from Rudolf Steiner.

Then – salon and conversation. We will begin with an element of art. We will make paper, with chalk or pencils – colors – available, so that each person may digest the content on their own.

Within our conversation we may have occasion to share some of the artistic results.

Penelope Baring was born in Nova Scotia. After five years of university, she lived and worked in Camphil in different parts of the United States, Ireland and India. She has served on both the Eastern Regional and National Councils of the Anthroposophical Society, the Asia-Pacific Initiative Group, and the Collegium of the School for Spiritual Science in North America. She has also taught Anthroposophy, lectured, and led workshops for the past forty years. Cofounder and Vice President of the Camphill Academy. She is presently semi-retired but is still teaching and mentoring.

We request our usual donation of $20
or $10 for current paid branch members.

The Machine, the soul, and 2026

January 7, 2026 By Mark Zweifel

We are living in the time Rudolf Steiner foresaw—an era where the line between the human being and the machine is becoming increasingly blurred.

How do we maintain our spiritual integrity in the face of “mechanical occultism”? What is the true nature of electricity, light, and the “Ahrimanic double” that seeks to interpenetrate our lives?

These are not just philosophical questions; they are the defining challenges of our age.

The MysTech Winter 2026 Study Courses are starting now. These free study groups (you only need the guidebook) offer a rare space to explore these deep questions with a community of like-minded seekers.

Whether you are new to these concepts or deepening your study of the “Mysteries of Evil,” there is a group for you.

Here is the new schedule for the upcoming term:

First Course (Mechanical Occultism & The Future)
Host: Lindsey | Wed @ 8:00 pm ET

Second Course (Michael, Ahriman & The Nature of Thought)
Host: Cheryl | Thu @ 3:00 pm ET

Third Course (The Eighth Sphere & Moral Worlds)
Host: Lawrence | Thu @ 1:30 pm ET

Fourth Course (Dangers of Mechanical Occultism)
Host: Andrew | Mon @ 8:30 pm ET

Destiny of the Human Body
Host: Colin | Sun @ 6:30 pm BT (UK)

Refined Breathing (NZ/Aus)
Host: Herman | Tue @ 3:30 am ET / 7:30 pm NZ

Refined Breathing (US/EU)
Host: Andrew | Wed @ 2:30 pm ET

Mysteries of Evil Vol 1
Host: Mark | Tue @ 8:30 pm ET

Mysteries of Evil Vol 2
Host: Malana Maher | Wed @ 6:00 pm ET

Light & Electricity
Host: Mark | Thu @ 8:30 pm ET

Your gift today provides hands-on experiences for our children that foster future leaders for a resilient planet.

We need your help to reach our goal of raising $25,000 by December 31st. 

Your gift will close the funding gap—ensuring no school is turned away and allowing us to confirm essential school visits for 2026.

Invest in Our Growth, Invest in Their Future
We have made great progress this year in expanding programming for these powerful learning moments:

Growing our Campus: We secured a $100,000 matching grant to build out a K-12 Educational Campground, allowing us to host more school groups and families throughout the year.

Training Future Stewards: Our young adult farmer intern program is fully enrolled, training the next leaders in regenerative agriculture.

Expanding Access: We are expanding our CSA reach in 2026 and launching new adult workshops to share biodynamic practices with the wider community.

With your continued support, we have a chance to ensure this land continues to flourish and grow for the future.

 Baumheier Conference 

December 3, 2025 By Mark Zweifel

Online Sunday, December 7, 2025
10AM – 1PM PT

The conference will envision a healthier society that contains three distinct parts. The independence of these parts—culture, state, and economy—is important so that the fundamental values of Freedom, Equality, and Brotherhood/Fellowship can operate in the domain where each belongs!  Right now everything is enmeshed into one system which is dominated by the use of money as power; the result is that egotism dominates the Economy which then dominates the rest.  Human beings created Money, we created the misuse of Money, and we created our current Economic structure. Thus we have the power to transform our relationships to them.  We can create a structure that is in service to humanity and the earth, with Money and the Economy in their rightful places.

Citizens United in the United States magnified the misuse of money and political power.  Given the tumultuous time we are in, we may be at a turning point now, before our situation becomes even more chaotic.  This conference will help us see how each of us can strengthen that turn toward a healthier society.  There will be substantive time for Q&A.

Our two featured speakers, Virginia Solomón, CEO of Common Cause, and Gerald Häfner, co-founder of Mehr Demokratie (More Democracy), are well-positioned to describe the next steps we need to take.  A major first step is getting big money out of politics.  Common Cause has decades of experience in that area, and we look forward to learning from them what has worked or not worked on the ground.  Gerald Häfner is one of the world’s leading authorities on social threefolding which describes how the separation of culture, state, and the economy is based on and meets the needs of individual human beings.  

This conference feels historic because it offers real hope in a fraught time.  Every voice counts. Together we can move mountains.  Please join us!  Do feel free to extend this invitation to anyone you know who may also be interested.

Thanks for considering!  We hope to see you on December 7!

The Shepherds Play

December 3, 2025 By Mark Zweifel

The Shepherds Play Players

The Shepherds Play

One Performance Only

Friday, December 12, 7:00 PM
  Actor’s Theater 1001 Center St.
Santa Cruz 

The Oberufer Shepherds play is a unique community Christmas event that has been performed every year since medieval times by people around the world. It takes the Christmas story from the point of view of the shepherds in a unique, humorous, and warm-hearted way, with amateur local actors and musicians. The special community feeling engendered by this event will be palpable to everyone.”City people today are hardly capable any longer of completely appreciating to its full depth what is connected with our annual festivals. It is hardly possible to feel that magic which passed like a spiritual breath through the souls, through the minds of those who believed that they were carrying Christ in their heart during the great festive events at Christmas or Easter. To feel this magic, which passed through humanity in these periods, like a spiritual breath, has become really quite difficult. … If we look at what ordinary people were able to feel when they were presented with the child in the manger…then we can say: such moods, such feelings should awaken in us when we look at what can be born in our soul.” ~ Rudolf Steiner, discussing the Oberufer play, Berlin, December 22, 1910
