International Conference 2026

2–6 October 2026: Abundance and Limits – Transitions as Opportunities

---

Dear colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you once again to our Autumn Conference at the Goetheanum.

Abundance and Limits – Transitions as Opportunities

Abundance stands for possibilities, wealth, inner strength, and can be overwhelming!
Limits provide structure, protection, identity, orientation, and can be restrictive!
Transitions are the moments when change, encounters, and new things can arise – often challenging – and full of future potential.

We sense ever more strongly how the world is calling on us to contribute our best abilities toward sustainable and inclusive social development. We invite you to join us in further developing our abilities. And in our relationships with anthroposophy, we celebrate our humanity.

This year’s conference aims to be a place for this. Thanks to the section’s working groups and to the rich global exchange among the people in our network, we have many contributors on the topic.

We are grateful to our colleagues who will be offering their input!

Everyone is warmly invited to participate. We will be striving to make the contributions accessible to all participants.

We look forward to welcoming you to this shared space of learning, reflection, and collaboration.

See you in October,

Jan Göschel, Bart Vanmechelen and Sonja Zausch
