Dear Class Members of the School of Spiritual Science,
We warmly welcome all members under 40 to our gathering from August 26-30, 2026 in Dornach, Switzerland. Join us for work on the mantric content, and questions for the future of the School through Class Lessons, artistic sessions, and biographical reflection.
This gathering is a unique opportunity to take up Class work as young people, see what questions are alive for us as young anthroposophists, and explore how we, as the youngest generation of members, wants to cultivate in the School to which we are all connected.
Registration is now open here!

Program
Download the program
The program will take up the task of self-knowledge through exploring the meditative content of the 19 Class Lessons of the First Class with Peter Selg, Martina Maria Sam, Nathaniel Williams, and Oliver Conradt through a Class Reading, Free-Rendering and Free-Group Rendering.
Hands-on in-studio artistic work will be guided in painting by Esther Gerster, in Sculpture with Ulrikke Stockholm and on the Coloured Glass with Bernadette Golmer-Hollenstein. In addition, we will take up the task of finding future ways and forms for the future of the School through conversation groups which move our ideas into initiative.
We are hoping to form relationship and substance with those who will carry the School of Spiritual Science into the future age.
Please note: we are open and able to support young people who want to join us but are not yet members. If you have a young friend or colleague who is interested in joining but is not yet a member, please feel free to reach out!
We hope to see you in a few months!
Warmest greetings from the new organising team,
Tania Prince, Ezra Sullivan, Demi Franco, Matthew Mirkin, Katrina Hoven, and Kaelin Schouten
