A big thank-you to the organizers of the Anthroposophy in the Bay Area & Beyond celebration of the 100th anniversary of Rudolf Steiner’s death. I am grateful that I could attend this important commemoration in person with other anthroposophists since my work with threefolding has anticipated this 100-year window for the last several years.
The speech and eurythmy (Jeremiah Turner and Karen Gallagher) beautifully expressed the flame within the human being and its larger context (thank you both for performing this twice to frame the celebration). Daniel Polikoff gave the main commemoration presentation. Although I had some difficulty hearing Daniel since I sat far away, I heard most of it, enough to appreciate that it was a sweeping, deep, and perceptive overview of Steiner’s life that was based on Daniel’s deep knowledge of his subject.
The grand finale of the program was a display of more pictures of Steiner than I had ever before seen (as well as a few other pictures such as the Representative of Humanity). Most were accompanied by succinct and profound quotes that in themselves were worth study. These pictures were in large format of several square feet each, most on canvas, created over many years by Steve Gersich. This was a one-time exhibition that deserves permanent display in a museum, so we felt very privileged indeed to see them.
Thank you again to the organizers for such a meaningful event!
