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

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”.

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?
