Threefold Educational Foundation and School Hosts Rudolf Steiner’s Second Mystery Drama
Saturday, September 12th, 2026
Full Cast Performance of The Trial of the Soul Directed by Barbara Renold
Thursday, September 10th to Sunday, September 13th, 2026
Meeting the Trial of the Soul Conference
Rudolf Steiner’s Mystery Dramas bring together theater arts and a modern initiation path. Steiner portrays the unfolding destinies of a group of karmically connected individuals on a path of inner development. This is not an intellectually worked-out plotting of fictional characters nor an instruction about the general laws of karma, but a realistic portrayal of a group of individuals working out their destinies together. The Trial of the Soul, the second Drama, enters the depths of human soul life, where each character must unfold the layers of their will, uncovering the difficulties that arise in social life and in the practice of dedicated spiritual striving.
Deepen and enhance your experience of the play in an intensive weekend conference that prepares attendees to fully participate in the theatrical performance with attention and inner rigor. The conference will host a cognitive preparation for the play through keynote lectures delivered by Daniel Hafner. Moreover, a preparation for the life of feeling and will through conversation groups, and workshops in eurythmy (Virginia Hermann), acting (Laurie Portacarerro), writing (Adeline Lyons), Visual Arts (Rudiger Janisch). Most importantly, the events over the weekend will create a community of seekers embarking on this path towards the spirit together.
