soniaI looked up Anthroposophy after a surprise encounter with an Anthroposophist "educational" video. It's a spiritual/religious/cult organization founded by Rudolph Steiner and adhering to his beliefs in Atlantis, clairvoyance, UFOs, the heart is not a pump, human beings are not animals, whites are more evolved than blacks, science is wrong, etc.
Turns out Waldorf schools are run by Anthroposophists. I know some Waldorf teachers and have thought of Waldorf schools as safe warm fuzzy places, but maybe not so much.
Here are two long articles by Roger Rawlings about his experience.
I went to Waldorf about what Waldorf schools are like from the inside and My Sad, Sad Story about deprogramming himself afterward.
