Social life, ecology, and economy are three interwoven aspects of life overall that are commonly divorced and misunderstood. We will look at their activites and relationships through goethean and spiritual science to understand their underlying laws of health. Rudolf Steiner's Threefold Social Organism offers insights towards bridging everyday individual striving and work with societal issues and questions.

Animals are vital contributors to all natural ecosystems and the life of the earth as a whole. Likewise, they are important to the life of farms and gardens. We will explore animals from their viewpoint towards experiencing them anew as whole beings that each offer gifts towards greater health. Animal consciousness and the human-animal relationship will be illuminated through inquiry.
