Anyone can become a member without regard to nationality, social standing, religion, scientific or artistic conviction. It is not confession that is called for, but interest. Each member can form groups with others and pursue the questions that are important for their pursuit of knowledge and life. This creates a network of lively spiritual exchange about anthroposophy in the present – whether in South African townships or Stockholm, one of the many Rudolf Steiner houses in Germany, or on a farm in New Zealand. Group work on-site, festivals, courses, lectures, and artistic events shape the life of the Anthroposophical Society, as do international conferences.
