Each year we look forward to celebrating Christmas at the Goetheanum with friends and members from all over the world. In the history of the Goetheanum because of the devastating fi re on New Year›s Eve 1922, serious thoughts will always arise at this time, but because of the Christmas Conference 1923 for the Founding of the Anthroposophical Society we also experience the powerful impulses for transformation which Rudolf Steiner could initiate. Since that time thousands of people live with the Foundation Stone Meditation. Especially in the structure of the fi rst three verses it clearly expresses the Christian trinitarian principle of Christian Rosenkreutz, leader of our epoch. We can sense an aspect of a certain cooperation between these two great individualities, since it was Rudolf Steiner who enabled us to gain access to Christian Rosenkreutz and to his impulses for our time.
The lectures and work groups will not primarily deal with a historical view of Christian Rosenkreutz but rather with the fruitful development of various paths of life and art forms to which Rudolf Steiner could bring impulses in the Michael Age based on the Rosicrucian method. An important reference for the conference preparation is Rudolf Steiner›s lecture which is referred to as „An Esoteric-Social Future Impulse. An Attempt to Found a Society for
Theosophical Art and Way of Life“.[December 15, 1911, GA 264, pp. 421].
Among the special evening events the concert of December 30, 2011 is of particular signifi cance for this conference. The Ensemble Phoenix from Eckernförde/Germany plays music from the Count Saint Germain. Its authenticity is confi rmed by his signature on the compositions.
The background for this is the lecture of September 27, 1911 [GA 130, pp. 67] where Rudolf Steiner mentions: „The Count Saint Germain has been the exoteric reincarnation of Christian Rosenkreutz in the 18th century“.
We are joyfully looking forward to working with you in this Holy Season!
