We share an interesting podcast here, that gives us insight into the man Rudolf Steiner (skip to 15 minutes in to hear just about Steiner):
“Marjatta van Boeschoten is a graduate of Steiner/Waldorf education and practiced as a lawyer for 7 years before becoming a mother of two and moving into consultancy. Since 2013 she is the General Secretary of the Anthroposophical Society in Great Britain and is part of the Goetheanum Meditation Worldwide Initiative.
In this podcast she and Mick discuss Rudolf Steiner’s visits to Great Britain and their importance for his own development and the wider spiritual implications. We also hear some very interesting anecdotes about the man himself as seen through the eyes of those who met him.
They talk about her unique education and how this prepared her for a career as a lawyer and management development consultant and the importance of inner work.”

About the Spiritual Scientist Podcast
“The Spiritual Scientist channel is dedicated to discerning the spiritual currents of our time with the help of Rudolf Steiner’s insights and also those of the many men and women who have taken his work seriously.
There is a deep longing in many people today for a real knowledge of the spirit. Many feel that a vague, nebulous or abstract spirituality no longer suffices in today’s world and at the same time, a return to the dogma of traditional religions is unthinkable.
In short, we want to know for ourselves.
Steiner offered a path which is completely individual to each person who takes it up…and at the same time universal. It is a path which anyone can follow no matter their cultural background. And no matter what your religion or spiritual path is, Steiner’s ideas and “Anthroposophy” can support and enliven it.
His insights have brought renewal to many areas in life such as Education, Agriculture (Biodynamics), Medicine , Religion (The Christian Community), architecture and many others.”
