"Modern humanity has only a first inkling of the real nature of the social question. It will assume its real form when the structure of the social organism is such that the three life forces underlying all human existence can rise in their true form from a vague instinct into conscious thought".
Rudolf Steiner, The Renewal of the Social Organism.
Changing Course
A celebration
A manifesto
CHANGING COURSE is a social impulse which aims to stimulate our individual responsibilities and to remember the ways of a truly human social life. It recognises that social threefolding is approaching us, on a horizon, able to be reached according to our own strivings.
The CHANGING COURSE MANIFESTO is born out of the wish to bring to consciousness the root of and reason for all renewals implemented by Rudolf Steiner in different aspects of society after 1915 (ie. education, curative education, biodynamic farming, medicine, the arts, religion). All these renewals are preparing us, through strengthing our capacities of thinking, feeling and willing, to be able to implement the threefold social order.
