Rudolf Steiner [1861-1925] was born in Austria and is an internationally recognized scientist, educator, artist, philosopher and spiritual researcher.

Recognizing the need to reconcile his spiritual experiences of his childhood with that of the material world, he schooled himself in science and philosophy, received a Ph.D. in science, became the leading scholar of Goethe’s scientific work and developed Anthroposophy as a Spiritual Science. Anthroposophy can become a way of life, embracing a spiritual view of the human being and the cosmos. The results of Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual research in over 6000 lectures and 40 books are now available in more than 300 volumes. Rudolf Steiner sought to awaken individuals to their own spiritual experiences and investigations and to encourage a greater attentiveness to the manifestations of spirit in everyday life. Each individual can follow the pathways of inner development in full freedom.
