Rudolf Steiner meets Friedrich Eckstein
Description
A contribution by Peter Selg
Discover the fascinating relationship between Rudolf Steiner and Friedrich Eckstein: two destiny events shaped Steiner's life – one in silence, the other the encounter with the universal sage Eckstein. From Vienna to Weimar, the lecture leads through esoteric Goethe interpretations, Theosophy, Kabbalah and the transition from the hidden to the public. Eckstein's cosmic intelligence, his friendships with Freud, Mahler and Blavatsky as well as Steiner's letter of thanks reveal a network of spiritual depth – a must for Steiner fans!
A contribution by Peter Selg to the 2025 Michaelmas Conference at the Goetheanum.
