The 2025 Section Conference in San Francisco will devote one entire day of our three-day conference to an exploration of this question. Students from the San Francisco Waldorf High School will lead off on Sunday morning. May 11. They will share thoughts and experiences and lead small group discussions. Joan Caldarera will moderate.

This Sunday morning session will flow into an afternoon plenum discussion. Christiane Haid, our Section leader at the School for Spiritual Science at the Goetheanum, will give a keynote talk.

Audience members will have opportunity to participate throughout the day. Panel members on Sunday afternoon include: Christiane Haid, Joan Caldarera, John Bloom, Robert McDermott, Jeffrey Hipolito, Emmanuel Vukovich, Gayle Davis, Bruce Donehower. John Bloom, the former General Secretary of the Anthroposophical Society in America, is the moderator on Sunday afternoon.

The Section planning group has decided to open individual conference days and events to all who have an interest. We encourage persons who want to join us for individual performances or lectures or for a single day or portion of a day. This includes the activities on Mt. Tam on May 12.

A fair-value donation at the door (or mountain meadow) will be appreciated. Click here for conference information, to read the conference schedule and FAQ.

Advance registration is not required for individual events or days. Advance conference registration is only required if you want to attend the entire conference, in which case your registration pays for the cost of food and snacks.
