Being Awake
How Do I Awaken to the Spirit in Myself and to the Spirit in the World?

August 11-14, 2005 • Ann Arbor, Michigan
[There will be discussions at this conference about developing Youth Section activities.]

Each day meets us with questions: How do I awaken to what is happening in me and around me? How do I awaken to others and create community with them? And when I am awake, how do I bear with dignity and grace what may be revealed to me?
In the depths of our souls we want to awaken to ourselves and the world, but forces active in the world and within us often prevent us from doing so. Yet, Rudolf Steiner tells us that the good spirits who guide humanity have given us imaginations within us that can become living ideas and tangible realities. They can awaken us to the experience of becoming a true human being.
In this spirit, we invite you to join us in exploring questions about our inner life, our relation to the outer world, and the full scope of our human tasks on earth. We will gather to experience outstanding speakers, conversations, workshops and performances. We will be joined by the entire Executive Council of the General Anthroposophical Society in Dornach, Switzerland. Speaking out of the life work of Rudolf Steiner, we will explore how to deepen our inner life and through it awaken more fully to one another and to the world.
There will be a rich offering of arts and artistic workshops, including choral speech and singing. On Friday night Glen Williamson, actor and storyteller, will premiere a new piece based on Goethe’s fairy tale, The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily. Saturday night will bring us the gift of the premiere performance of Dvorak's New World Symphony with a full performing eurythmy troupe and orchestra.
This conference is hosted by the Anthroposophical Society in America in close collaboration with the Anthroposophical Society in Canada, the General Anthroposophical Society, and the School of Spiritual Science.
All are cordially invited to attend.
