Objectives
The «Anthroposophical Studies in English – Second Year» is intended for students with prior knowledge of Anthroposophy who would like to develop new abilities through deepening their understanding of Anthroposophy in connection with an individual question. The program is suitable for students who already are familiar with Rudolf Steiner’s basic theoretical works and are looking for a more extended perspective.
Objectives of the program:
Creating a basis for an individual path of inner development
Completing an individual study project in one of the artistic disciplines, the sciences or in philosophy
Methods of deepening this individual question through Anthroposophical Spiritual Science and related exercises

Working on an individual study project is a central element of the Second Year. Members of the Goetheanum staff as well as other mentors with relevant background support students in their work. Students regularly meet with their mentors. Students present their work at the end of the study year. The other central element is a continuous text study with a focus on practicing conscious reading of the text and building experience. An emphasis will be on Rudolf Steiner’s «Philosophy of Freedom». Artistic courses in speech formation, eurythmy and the fine arts complement the theoretical work as well as the individual study projects. The versatile Goetheanum calendar of events including courses, conferences, artistic performances and exhibitions is a unique addition to the study experience at the Goetheanum.
