Awakening to Global Book-keeping

Awakening to Global Book-keeping

It is now time to give conscious expression to this organ so that it can allow me to perceive more than my own point of view, to grow beyond myself and thus to cross the threshold that separates “me” from the others and from the world.

A film about Social Threefolding

The increase in individuality demands a free intellectual life in which everyone can contribute their individual abilities. Globalisation demands an associative exchange and increased communication between the different needs of those involved all over the world. This is the only way to recognise when we are behaving antisocially towards other parts of the world. Thirdly, industrialisation demands democratic protection against the exploitation of labour.
The following film attempts to show how these three demands can come together in harmony. Rudolf Steiner published the ideas of Social Threefolding in the spring of 1919, shortly after the end of the First World War. It seemed clear to him that the old, in some cases even undemocratic forms of rule were no longer in keeping with the times. With Social Threefolding, he pointed out a revolutionary possibility for radical self-disempowerment.
A good 100 years later, most social reform approaches are still hampered by the fact that they go hand in hand with a claim to power. Social threefolding is a great help here because its open-ended approach looks at the concrete people acting together in social interaction.

Rethinking ownership

A public research colloquium to develop new perspectives on corporate ownership.

Saturday, 17 February 2024, 08.30 - 16.30, Rudolf Steiner School Zurich, Plattenstrasse 37.

In the twentieth century, there were essentially two major currents on the question of ownership of companies: State ownership and private
ownership. Both forms of ownership have proved inadequate for an environmentally sustainable economy based on individual ethics. Are there legal forms that are more suitable for this?

Speakers: Marc Desaules, Dr. Jens Martignoni, Lukas Hotz, Dr. Simon Mugier et al.

General Assembly of the Swiss Society for Threefolding

Saturday, 2 March 2024, 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm

Christian Community Basel, Lange Gasse 11, 4052 Basel

Contents:

  • The three ideals and their significance for the present (Ursula Ostermai)
  • Insight into the Threefold Movement in Switzerland (Michael Gambarini and Fionn Meier)
  • Exchange with the members: What steps are necessary to help the threefolding movement achieve a breakthrough?

Up to now, membership has been limited to initiatives and organisations. At the General Assembly this restriction will be lifted and membership will also be open to individuals who wish to contribute to the realisation of the threefold structure. The General Assembly is therefore also open to people who are not yet members but would like to become members.
