So what is Anthroposophy A founding intention for this directory and what does it mean to work out of it? was to bring awareness to what often re- What, in fact, is the difference between mains, like the waters of an underground “Knowledge” and “Wisdom”? Does it mat- spring, largely unseen. The diverse initia- ter? Does it affect how we grow our food, vi educate our children, care for our health, spend our money, or any of the countless other ways we lead our lives? While a full introduction is outside the scope of this brief essay, what we can assert is that Anthroposophy is not a system of belief or dogmas. It is certainly not a cult or something that one becomes indoctrinated into. Rath- er, it is a picture or conception of the human being that continues to be revealed. It is a research methodology that one may use to contemplate the most central questions of our life on earth, as individuals and as social beings. It may even be described as a global research community that one joins through one’s own effort toward wisdom— self development for world development. Rudolf Steiner In recent times, no one has mapped this territory as extensively, or fruitfully, as the Austrian philosopher, social reformer, and spiritual teacher Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925). Though the word “Anthroposophy” was coined before his birth, Steiner used it to describe the “Spiritual Science” that he helped to inaugurate. Again, a full introduction is beyond the scope of these opening pages, but encouragement can be offered: meet this man. Not as a guru or final authority, but simply as one of the best kept secrets of our times. In a world so desperately in need of new ideas and new impulses, Rudolf Steiner’s gifts are on display wherever one finds initiatives working with his radically life-enhancing insights. As the saying goes: “By their fruits ye shall know them…

“That the academic world has managed to dismiss Steiner’s work as inconsequential and irrelevant is one of the intellectual wonders of the twentieth century. Anyone who is willing to study those vast works with an open mind...will find himself faced with one of the greatest thinkers of all time, whose grasp of the modern sciences is equaled only by his profound learning in the ancient ones. Steiner was no more of a mystic than Albert Einstein; he was a scientist rather, but a scientist who dared to enter into the mysteries of life.” —Russell Davenport (writing in 1954)

vii Watershed as Guiding Metaphor

“If you drop a rose in the Hudson River at its mysterious source in the Adirondacks, think of all the places it journeys by as it goes out to sea...” —Jack Kerouac

The Hudson River Watershed provides more than just the cover art for this directory. It offers itself as both our central guiding metaphor and as the general geographical region we cover (see footnote for more on the initiatives we’ve included outside the Watershed’s precise topological designation*). Through the lens of physical geography, a watershed is “the region draining into a river, river system, or other body of water.” Wherever we are in the world, if we are standing on solid earth, we are in a watershed: The waters around us are always flowing from somewhere and to somewhere. And nowhere in North America is there as great a number and as wide a diversity of initiatives flowing from anthroposophy as the lands that encompass the Hudson River Watershed. If one travels upstream from the Hudson’s meeting with the Atlantic Ocean at New York City, past the joining of many smaller streams, eventually one arrives at a source, Lake Tear of the Clouds, on the slopes of Mount Marcy, the highest point in the Adirondack Mountains. So too, in aspects of human life, we can metaphorically follow the visible outward forces that shape our world—politics, economics, culture—to arrive at invisible underlying perspectives that inform all activity “downstream” from their philosophical source. Every “work” in the world indicates something of the worldview that informs it. This is no less the case for in- dustrial scale farming with it’s pesticide use and genetically modified plants, as it is for Biodynamic farming (which pre-dates and helped inspire what we know of as “organic” agriculture). All of the creative, life-giving initiatives in this directory have their destructive equivalents at work in the world. The fruits of our actions are first seeded in our mean- dering (and mostly half-conscious) answer to the question: What does it mean to be human? And the important follow up question (to paraphrase a line from the poet Mary Oliver) “…what am I to do with my one precious life?”

* If you drew a rectangle that encompassed the entire Hudson Watershed, with room to spare, that is the scope of this Directory. Beyond the Hudson Basin proper, we also include the entire eastern third of New York State, southwestern Vermont, the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts, western Connecticut, northeastern Pennsylvania, and northern and central New Jersey. viii Living Waters and the (Holy) Ground Beneath our Feet Along with being a practical tool for increased exposure and communication, this directory was also conceived of as an exercise in expanding our commonly held metaphors. It strives to be about movement, which is to say life—of waters, of spirit, of the opening of doors to let in the other and the new. The Hudson River was called, by those who lived here first, Muh-he- kun-netuk, “the river that flows two ways.” Unlike most rivers which flow consistently from their source to their meeting with the sea, the Hudson River is actually an ocean estuary with daily tides! As metaphor, this serves a potent reminder to strive in both directions, to remain connected to the deep wellspring of our eternal source and to also voyage out to the vast sea of contemporary times and contemporary culture. A secondary definition of “watershed” indicates “a critical point that marks a division or a change of course; a turning point.” Few would argue that we are, at this very moment, dwelling at such a critical point and in need of a change of course. But how to find a common direction in an increasingly polarized world? Might we agree that a course we would set for ourselves and our children would be toward what the original Philosophers (Greek for “lovers of wisdom”) called the True, the Beautiful, and the Good? Where today can we find individuals and organizations that nurture these essential virtues— that work with life-giving Wisdom as their source? The practical initiatives on the following pages offer an opportunity to meet such Wisdom as it lives and works in the world today. One cannot underestimate the impact that such a network, and your support, is having upon the world. —Jordan Walker, for Wisdom Working
