i-Study in Motion
Initiative of the Individual Study of the Goetheanum and the Youth Section

“The risk of an i-study is that sooner or later you meet yourself. At some point you don’t have an escape. You have to face it, to see it in order to go on.” - Kathleen Morse

On a sunny January day in the Youth Section in Dornach, five people gathered around to begin a pilot program: ‘Live One’s Questions’. Annie Sauerland, Claire Lerner, and Kathleen Morse embarked on a project to study their burning questions in the context of life with the leadership and support of Elizabeth Wirsching and Juliana Hepp.

General Secretaries in the Youth Section

What a fun night!
On Wednesday the 7th of November we welcomed 20 General Secretaries as well as a few members of the executive council of the general Anthroposophical Societies World Wide for dinner in the Youth Section.

A four course meal and many different conversations as well as the presentations of ourselves as the Youth Section Team gave it a comfortable, fun and informative feel.
It is quite an historical moment when you think about the "heads" of important spiritual movements all around the world all sitting together in one room with young people, chatting, laughing, exchanging thoughts.

The general secretary from England reminded us young people that by being in Dornach, active, enthused and changing the world we are heading heads down heels up into a career like theirs, that in 20-30 years we will be in their place. We reminded him of himself as a 25 year old. Quite the exciting as well as scary thought!

Such pleasant events will definitely be repeated!

Youth Congress Munich

Last week Wednesday to Saturday (31. to 3rd) I spent at the Youth Congress in Munich. A group of about 8 Students, Teachers and others have invited to this Youth Congress the second time now. Last year Nicanor Perlas was there, speaking about Globalisation, this year we had the honor to hear Hans Peter Dürr, a nuclear physicist and activist in many fields of civil society. Amazing, how at 78 a man can be so full of energy and so convinced that making a change is the only thing that can help us out of this situation.
In workshops and the World Cafe a lot of topics were touched on regarding the theme of the congress "peace and war and what do you want?". Everyone took away something, if not an answer then definitely a new way of approaching a question.

We are looking forward to next year!
