June 5 – 7, 2026

at  Threefold Educational Foundation in Chestnut Ridge NY and New York City

A conference exploring the individuality of Raphael in conjunction with the major exhibition taking place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Raphael: Sublime Poetry will take place from June 5 – 7 at Threefold. The arc of the conference will include explorations of Novalis in addition to Raphael himself. The fruits of Rudolf Steiner’s research into the incarnations of this significant individuality will help us to deepen our understanding.  The gathering will include contributions from guest speakers Andrew Wolpert and Cliff Venho as well as hands-on workshops exploring visual art and poetry. The intention is to acknowledge this significant world event and together discover the mysteries within Raphael’s work!

For Members of the School for Spiritual Science there is a research colloquium at Threefold following directly after the Raphael conference. See more information here threefold.org/entering

An Initiative of the Threefold Youth House.
