Attending the Fire: An Invitation for Collective Intention
Hosted by the Anthroposophical Society in America
Foundation Stone Meditation on New Year’s Eve: A Speaking Together
100 years ago on this New Year’s Eve night, the first Goetheanum burned to the ground, marking a painful transition moment for the anthroposophical movement.
Looking ahead to New Year’s Eve 2022-2023, we remember in our hearts a significant moment one hundred years ago; the burning of the first Goetheanum.
Because we cannot all physically gather together in honour of this time, we can find creative ways to deepen our individual and collective intention.
The Anthroposophical Society in America (ASA) wishes to offer you resources and practices that can serve to unite us, from far and wide, as a community.
We invite you to join us on Zoom at that time, to meet with other anthroposophical friends and groups from all over the world for a speaking of the Foundation Stone Meditation.
At 11:45 p.m. Central European Time 31 December 2022
For Australian participants
At 9.45 a.m. AEDT 1 January 2023

It is our great task this day to observe how in the world around us it is New Year’s Eve — all is passing and disappearing and dying away; but how in the hearts of human beings who are conscious of their real humanity, of their divine humanity, there must be the mood of New Year, the mood of the beginning of a new era,
of the uprising of new life.
