SUMMARY:Social Threefolding Here and Now – Workshop in Ottawa
DESCRIPTION:::: Live Seminar :::\nWhat is Social Threefolding – And How Can We Bring It About in the Here and Now?\nwith T. Michael Cox\n \nSaturday 21 March 2026\nfrom 9:00 am to 3:30 pm\nPolaris Waldorf School\, 2nd floor\, 1805 Gaspe Avenue\, Ottawa\, K1K 0A4 \n4 sessions\, open to everyone. Each session will be a combination of presentation and discussion. \nCost: $50; pay at the door. (requests for discount will be immediately granted – contact us) \nRudolf Steiner spent many years of his life describing and trying to bring about a restructuring of society called social threefolding. Out of the social threefolding impulse\, other initiatives – such as Waldorf education – arose. One might imagine social threefolding as the healthy social environment in which a free spiritual-cultural life\, a fair rights life\, and a prosperous economic life based on mutual service allow other positive initiatives to unfold and succeed. Without this healthy social environment\, we necessarily face insurmountable obstacles. So social threefolding must be a top priority for all those who support anthroposophical endeavours – and for everyone who cares about future generations. \n—\nT. Michael Cox is one of Canada’s leading authorities on social threefolding and the author of Money for a Threefold Society. He recently completed a new translation of Rudolf Steiner’s Core Points of the Social Question (CW 23\, formerly Towards Social Renewal) – and is currently working on a new translation of Steiner’s National Economics Course and Seminars (CW 340/341\, formerly Rethinking Economics)\, expected to be published this summer. Now retired\, Michael was a high school teacher in both public and Waldorf schools for many years and has lived and worked in Germany\, England\, and Japan. \nHis book will be available for sale at the event.

Michael Cox\nMondays – starting on January 12\nRegister by Friday 9 January 2026 \nMoney for a Threefold Society explores a clear and practical\, step-by-step pathway to bring a threefold society into being in the here and now – a pathway that is not based on utopian or moralistic assumptions\, but one that proceeds by building local grassroots communities that arise from the immediate advantages that social threefolding has to offer. \nStarting in January\, we will meet on a weekly basis to read and discuss this book\, with a focus on the practical implementation of healthy social threefolding in the here and now. \nSocial threefolding represents a novel conception for how a future society might be organized\, in a way that is more healthy than our current “unitary” society.

However\, places are limited in order to ensure that everyone can participate in discussions.

SUMMARY:Social Threefolding Study Group

Michael Cox and Linda Lingane\nTuesdays – starting on September 9\nRegistration extended to Friday 12 September 2025 \nStarting in September\, we will meet on a weekly basis to read and discuss the most relevant parts of Rudolf Steiner’s 1919 book about social threefolding\, The Core Points of the Social Question\, also known as Towards Social Renewal. We will focus on how Steiner’s social ideas apply in a practical way to our current societal situation – to the here and now. What can we do\, in our present circumstances\, to create a healthier future society? \nSocial threefolding represents a novel conception for how a future society might be organized\, in a way that is more healthy than our current “unitary” society. For more about social threefolding: \n\nWikipedia: Social Threefolding\nVideo: What is Social Threefolding and Why Do We Need It Now?\nVideo: The Dawn of Social Threefolding\n\nEach two-hour online session will consist of reading\, discussion\, and exploring practical examples\, and will end with a brief meeting review. Although reading outside of the weekly zoom times is not required\, participants who wish to volunteer will be invited to present brief summaries of each previous session. \nNo prior knowledge of Rudolf Steiner’s works is necessary – absolute beginners are welcome! \nThe study group is free of charge.

So register early to grab your spot! \nAlthough there is no fee\, participants will be expected to support us by purchasing the brand-new translation of Steiner’s book – titled The Core Points of the Social Question (Collected Works Nr. 23) – which will be published early this summer by Truth Phenomena Publishing. \nEach two-hour session starts promptly at 7:00 pm Eastern / 4:00 pm Pacific time and ends on time at 9:00 pm Eastern / 6:00 pm Pacific.

Michael Cox\, author of Money for a Threefold Society\n– Linda Lingane\, facilitator\n \n<< Click here to Email Us >>\n  \n\n  This course is a must-attend for those wishing to understand or deepen their understanding of Social Threefolding. Mike has the ability to help “unpack” Rudolf Steiner’s ideas in a very clear\, approachable\, methodical way. The group setting is structured yet casual and everyone’s views are welcome.\n  \n  MJ– former participant\n\n\n  In our present-day world of ideas\, which is becoming ever more an inhumane one-sided information deluge\, Mike breaks through and guides and coaches us to navigate these dangerous currents. In sum Mike is Teacher.  Mike helps us cultivate an understanding of my own\, rather than expect us to accept a prefab imprint\, he nurtures natural learning\, versus synthetic forcing.  His painstaking eye to detail and keen ability to bring into contemporary context new ideas\, new insights\, and new solutions to our present-day dilemma\, is parallel to providing a community the tools and knowhow to build not just a life raft but the future society we need to avoid the flood in the first place.\n  \n  Allan Kuhn– former participant\n\n\n  Being in Mike’s study group was an absolute gift. His direct translation of the German text brought Steiner’s ideas to life with clarity and depth. Mike didn’t just help us understand the material—he inspired us to live it\, guiding us toward real-world application and introducing us to his own powerful book\, Money for a Threefold Society. This experience has truly deepened my appreciation for his work.\n  \n  Nick H– former participant\n\n  \nStudy Group Registration Form\nSpace is limited – so register now! \nLoading… \nCore Points Book Image © Truth Phenomena Publishing.
