Readings in Anthroposophy are undertaken by the group and discussed at meetings. New members are added when new books or lecture series are commenced. Members are asked to commit to attendance for the duration of a book study. This is not a “drop-in” group. For information about joining the group or other aspects of Anthroposophical study contact Rick Mitchell at 785-841-9105.

All readings by Rudolf Steiner, except where noted. We have met once a month since September, 2001, except for once or twice, when we canceled due to lack of a critical mass of attendees.
Every new study group member becomes oriented by reading, “The Art of Goethean Conversation” by Marjorie Spock; current members also read this booklet, whenever new members join.
