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.

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
