Lin Bautze of the Goetheanum's Agricultural Section joins to talk about climate change skepticism within Anthroposophy, the spiritual challenge of climate change, and what Anthroposophy and Biodynamics has to offer to the environmental movement. You can find the Section's new book, ‹Breathing With the Climate Crisis› at www.livingfarm.net soon.

Anne Weise of the Rudolf Steiner Archive joins the podcast to speak about her research on Hilma af Klint, perhaps the most famous Anthroposophist in the world today behind Steiner. Her relationship with Steiner is often the source of ungrounded criticism, and her long, expansive relationship with Anthroposophy under-appreciated. In this podcast, we explore these issues and celebrate Hilma's spiritual-scientific artistic work.

Wim Hof has lit the health world on fire, teaching people about their ‘Inner Fire’ and its ability to conquer the cold challenges of modern life. Anthroposophical Medicine has been focused on the therapeutic potential of Warmth for a century - how can these worlds speak to each other? Incoming head of the Medical Section, Dr. Adam Blanning joins the podcast.
