Anthroposophic Meditation Workshop February 15-17 in the East Bay

January 21, 2025 By Arianna Golden

Join us in El Sobrante, CA | February 15-17, 2025 | 9AM to 5:30PM Daily

Immerse yourself in three full days of meditation, practical methods, and group exercises designed to strengthen your inner peace, empathy, sense for truth, and ability to work co-creatively with others. 

Whether you’re familiar with anthroposophy or exploring new spiritual practices, this course offers tools to help you free your mind from clutter, navigate relationships with clarity, and connect to your higher self.

The meditative methods taught are based on indications in Rudolf Steiner’s Knowledge of Higher Worlds and his other texts.  Processes are broken down step by step, following spiritual laws, resulting in meditative methods that are powerful and effective.  Spur your movement forward on your spiritual path through these amazing methods.

What to Expect:

If you’re ready to step into a more grounded, peaceful, and empowered version of yourself, this workshop will give you tools and practices to:

  • Let go of mind-clutter and emotional drama.
  • Navigate relationships with greater clarity and equanimity.
  • Discover tools to help you connect with your higher spiritual purpose.
  • Harmonize thinking, feeling, and willing.

What You’ll Discover in this Transformative Workshop:

Through a combination of individual meditations and group work, you’ll:

  • Develop your capacity for empathy and perspective-switching.
  • Strengthen your sense for truth and inner peace.
  • Learn to process feelings and beliefs while transforming inner hindrances.
  • Connect to spiritual beings and to your higher self.
  • Navigate challenges with clarity and balance.

This workshop isn’t just about intellectual ideas—it’s about practicing and applying methods that support your inner growth.

You’ll engage in hands-on exercises, share your experiences with others in an intimate and immersive setting, and leave with tools you can apply immediately to your personal and spiritual growth.
