If the angel deigns to come, it will be because you have
convinced him not by tears, but by your humble resolve to be always beginning,
to be a beginner.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The (second) Goetheanum building was designed in 1924-25 by Rudolf Steiner with remarkably flowing and expressive use of concrete.
Robert McDermott, former president of the California Institute for Integral Studies and a former president of Anthroposophy NYC, is well-known as the author of The Essential Steiner. Click here for an essay on Steiner's worldview on the Lapis Magazine site.
USA
There are many groups and branches of the Anthroposophical Society throughout the USA. The best way to locate them is via the website of the national society. This site also provides a directory of some 800 initiatives across North America.
In New York City:
the Rudolf Steiner School on Manhattan's upper East side and offices of SteinerBooks, Rudolf Steiner Foundation and the Christian Community (see links below). The New York Open Center also presents programs on Rudolf Steiner and related work.
Near New York City:
Sunbridge College is less than an hour's drive northwest of the city in Rockland County, NY, as is Eurythmy Spring Valley and the Rudolf Steiner Fellowship Community. All are part of a community pioneered by what is now the Threefold Educational Center.
Worldwide
The center of the society worldwide is at the Goetheanum in Dornach (near Basel), Switzerland. There are associations or groups in more than forty countries.
