The Foundation Stone Meditation forms the foundation of the "spiritual Goetheanum" established at the Christmas Conference in 1923/24. The "stones" of this foundation are formed through the meditative activity of individuals all over the world.
The idea for the current collection originated at the 2016 Goetheanum World Conference, which was essentially determined by the Foundation Stone Meditation and dedicated to the question of whether, after almost 100 years, this is still a fundamental basis for anthroposophical work. In preparation for the 100th anniversary of the Christmas Conference, this gave rise to fruitful and varied work on the foundation stone meditation through annual themes, conferences and publications. The meditation of the foundation stone verse is so fruitful and universal that it can be linked to many aspects and questions of being human. Anyone in search of a spiritual path can find a rich source of possibilities here.
The current new publication was first released in English in 2021 and in French in 2023 in Montreal and in December 2023 for the first time in German by Verlag am Goetheanum in Dornach.
