General information about the Anthroposophical Society's work in Sydney

The Sydney Branch (St John's Group) at Rudolf Steiner House is host to many activities that draw their inspiration and direction from Rudolf Steiner’s Spiritual Science or Anthroposophy. In the City it provides a focus for the Society’s activities in Sydney, accessible to members and the public for lectures, group work, festival celebrations, workshops, seminars, courses, library and the Rudolf Steiner Book Centre. Occasional exhibitions of individuals’ artistic, scientific and creative work are held in the house. Individual members take initiatives in forming study Groups of various kinds, organizing and running seminars and workdays, offering artistic and practical workshops and evening courses in many areas of work and discipline, among them singing, speech, geometry, eurythmy, modern meditation, painting and study/research into Spiritual Science or Anthroposophy.
Rudolf Steiner House is also home to a full time year of Anthroposophical Studies and other courses conducted by Parsifal College (02 9261 4001).
