Letter from the General Secretary
- by Arie van Ameringen
...At the time when many of us were on holiday, we learned the sad news that Sergei Prokofieff had crossed the threshold after a long illness. He had come to Canada in 2009 and had taken part in the Whitehorse conference. Many of those who met him will recall his great warmth and his tireless activity as an anthroposophical researcher. His work will ever remain a source of inspiration for deepening our relation to anthroposophy and for inspiring us to take on initiatives.
In Hatley, Quebec, some twenty persons gathered to give readings in his memory and share experiences of meeting him, either personally or through his writings - and to speak of how he touched our hearts.
Peter Selg has written a brief but gripping biography of Sergei which has just appeared in latest issue of Anthroposophy World Wide...

Skythianos Past, Present and Future
 Report on Virginia Sease's lecture in Montr�al on 14 July 2014
- by Eric Philips-Oxford, based on notes taken by Louis Casgrain
...Rudolf Steiner spoke very little about Skythianos, and what he did say seems quite mysterious. Skythianos is one of the most important teachers of humanity and connects the remote past with the present and the future of mankind. Rudolf Steiner pointed to a great council which took place in supersensible world during the 4th century A.D...The purpose of this council was to ensure that the mystery wisdom connected with Atlantis would continue to thrive and to influence the development of humanity. During this council held in the supersensible world it was decided that a new spiritual impulse would be implanted into human evolution 4 or 5 centuries later, during the Middle Ages...

This past August, some 300 people from all around the English-speaking world gathered in Spring Valley New York to watch Rudolf Steiner's mystery dramas presented in English...Director Barbara Renold said more than once at the conference that she would consider it a failure if no future mystery drama work arises out of this conference. I'm sure she will be pleased to learn that Tim Nadelle felt inspired to start a group here in Toronto to work towards presenting at first some scenes and eventually in two or three years, the whole of the first Mystery Drama here on stage. First meeting for this group will be September 20th at Hesperus. (Invitation) Barbara will also be doing an online workshop, on the mystery dramas, starting this fall, and will be traveling to various centres to support the work... Read full article.

The Philosophy of Freedom
Treasure Quest
 - by Tim Nadelle
The Philosophy of Freedom is a treasure map. In general, we can work with the map in two ways. Firstly, we can study the map. We can read it, make notes, meet in study groups to discuss and deepen our understanding. This first approach to the work is a necessary and essential precursor to the second approach, which is to set out to find the treasure...
In October 2015, you are invited to join with colleagues to take up this quest at a weekend conference to be held in or near Toronto. Please visit www.philosophyfreedom.ca and leave your contact information if you would like to receive occasional updates about the conference agenda and venue. Read full article.
