Defend and reclaim the truly human. Founded on the work of Rudolf Steiner.

Anthroposophy NYC is the New York City Branch of the Anthroposophical Society in America, a vibrant meeting place for study, art, and community inspired by the work of Rudolf Steiner.

In the heart of Manhattan, we offer lectures, study groups, artistic workshops, seasonal festivals, and eurythmy classes, welcoming all who wish to explore the meeting of spiritual insight and modern life. Our Rudolf Steiner Bookstore serves as a public gateway to anthroposophical
literature and ideas, while our programs — in person and online — foster dialogue, inner development, and creative action for cultural renewal.
