In this way, we will celebrate the Jubilee of the Christmas Conference and the resurrection of the living impulse of the First Goetheanum in the most auspicious way.įor Rudolf Steiner tells us: “My dear friends, may this link our hearts to the old Goetheanum, which we had to consign to the elements. She will explore with us how we can link our hearts to the old Goetheanum during the coming 12 Holy Nights to prepare ourselves for the coming 12 months in 2023, so we can work towards a Cosmic New Year. Adriana’s lecture will explore what Rudolf Steiner meant by the “Envy of the Gods and the Envy of Human Beings” and how a consciousness of this during the coming 12 Holy Nights can provide the necessary strengthening for the coming twelve months.ĭuring this presentation, Adriana will speak about the three gifts given by Rudolf Steiner in 1913: The naming of Anthroposophy, The Fifth Gospel, and The Laying of the Foundation Stone of the First Goetheanum.

This NYE 2022-23 will be the 100th anniversary of this event and the world is again facing many difficulties, political, economic, and social. After the war when the building was near completion, the First Goetheanum was destroyed by an arsonist on New Year’s Eve 1922/1923. Construction proceeded for a decade under enormous difficulties in the political, economic, and cultural realms, brought on by the advent of the First World War. Work on building the First Goetheanum, which was designed and supervised by Rudolf Steiner, began after the laying of the double dodecahedron foundation stone on the 20th of September 1913.
