What’s On

Can our human culture survive and even thrive in the world pervaded by AI?

YES, if we are awake and engaged!    Let us nurture the vision of our still unachieved potential supported by education, storytelling, and the unshakable confidence that the challenges we face invite us to evolve new capacities and strengths. 

The prepared contributions, open discussions and artistic activities of this seminar will explore what we can do at home, in the classroom, in society, and even globally to engage courageously and creatively in the face of what appear to be such looming threats to our humanity.

Jermey Naydler will introduce the day with reflections on technology, our responsibility for nature, and the greater cosmic context of the spiritual transformation of the Earth. 

Michaela de Winter will characterise a particular aspect of what Rudolf Steiner called 'The Double' in relation to the intangible driving force behind the exponential development of AI.

Tom Smith will speak about the role of stories to create a collective culture, and how modern digital algorithms are affecting this narrative.

Danyah Miller will share interactive exercises and storytelling games that show how we can work with story to inspire and guide the next generation.

Jonathan Hoobs will bring his lived classroom experience to show the role of Waldorf Education in our culture and the power that it has to resist some of the major issues affecting young people growing up in the digital world. 

These contributions will be followed by time for questions and discussion.

A detailed timetable, suggested fee for participation, and registration details will be sent out in response to enquiries made to Andrew Wolpert,   andrewjwolpert@gmail.com

This event is an intersectional initiative hosted by the Humanities and Educational Sections of the School of Spiritual Science, and is supported by the Anthroposophical Society in Great Britain.
