Working with Polarities in Social Life

With Seth Jordan

Recorded in November 2020 we gathered in what was emerging as time of great divisiveness and polarization. Hostility between groups, whether political parties, economic classes, or racial and cultural factions, had reached such a pitch in the USA that it has been compared to a “cold civil war.” But we also know these states of opposition intimately from our own personal lives. And ultimately we must each take responsibility in order to bridge these divides.

The gathering worked towards identify the ways in which we each engender and promote divisiveness in our own lives and in society, and the ways we can bridge such divisions through a truer seeing of the other. Building off of Rudolf Steiner’s work we will explore the idea of a multiplicity of perspectives as well as a multiplicity of functions, or gestures, within society, and try to see the inner practices and outer forms that can bring healing to them.
