In 1911 Rudolf Steiner lectured in Prague and on that occasion met with a certain writer who wrote the following about this meeting: "My Visit to Dr. Steiner. In his room I try to show my humility, which I cannot feel, by seeking out a ridiculous place for my hat ... Table in the middle, I sit facing the window, he on the left side of the table ... I push on with my prepared address: I feel that a great part of my being is striving toward theosophy, but at the same time I have the greatest fear of it. That is to say, I am afraid it will result in a new confusion which would be very bad for me, because even my present unhappiness consists only of confusion. This confusion is as follows: My happiness, my abilities, and every possibility of being useful in any way have always been in the literary field. And here I have, to be sure, experienced states (not many) which in my opinion correspond very closely to the clairvoyant states described by you ... " Who was this writer who met with Rudolf Steiner in 1911? As always, the answer to the Anthro-Riddle™ will be published in the next Sophia Institute newsletter ... These publications provide comprehensive resources for educators, parents, and communities for meeting teens in American culture. The lessons provide learning experience for the teacher, parents and youth that are collaborative, artistic, and playful. One of the key features is the role-play scenarios developed for use by the students to work through the lesson themes.

Inspired by the work of Rudolf Steiner, members seek to engage the better nature and higher potentials of the human being. Through personal reflection and study, group collaboration in research and community building, and devoted service to others, members strive to create a future worthy of the human being. The Society has a staff of seven dedicated individuals (both full- and part-time), located in Ann Arbor, MI, Harlemville, NY, and San Francisco, CA, and a strong volunteer base located across the country.

Surrender to the beauty of new sights, colours, textures, sounds, stories, songs and tastes. Fill up your senses this summer with nourishment for the long inward journey toward spirit revelation in midwinter. Refresh yourself in the soothing waters of artistic renewal and community and kindle the flame of inspired action.
