Legacy’s Light
Enter Georg Kühlewind
Georg Kühlewind (born György Székely, March 6, 1924 – January 15, 2006) was a Hungarian philosopher, writer, lecturer and meditation teacher. For many who experienced Georg’s meditation retreats and/or his lectures during his frequent US visits, his influence was powerful and remains enduring. His early interests in careers in music and psychology were stymied by the onslaught of World War II. Georg survived imprisonment at Buchenwald and then Aschersleben (an unheated aircraft factory), pursuing post-war a professional career as a physical chemist while continuing spiritual search primarily out of anthroposophy.
In his own words (1984): “From the beginning my interest in anthroposophy has been in the study of consciousness and related themes. Very soon, therefore, I was led to the idea of the Logos. For the past twenty or twenty-two years the Prologue to St. John's Gospel has been my central meditation. Hence, all the books I have written have to do with this theme.”
Anthroposophy NYC’s “Legacy’s Light” series is an intergenerational exploration of anthroposophy’s journey in this country--with a particular focus on New York City. Our events will feature brief presentations and live interviews by younger anthroposophists. They will explore the spiritual awakening of the 1960s-70s as it unfolded in the next decades in anthroposophical initiatives. Through live conversations with panels of individuals who founded and experienced them and their early growing pains, we hope to shed light on spiritual science’s present and on the future we are called upon to create.
This event will be hosted live at 138 West 15th Street and on zoom ($15 suggested donation)
