The World Social Initiative Forum
The World Social Initiative Forum (WSIF) is an international network of spiritually-inspired social initiatives aiming to address wide-reaching human poverty, marginalisation and inequality. As the WSIF Core Team, we believe that through our individual commitment and collective efforts in promoting social systemic change, we can responsibly shape the future, so that good may become.
Founded in 2000 by Ute Craemer and Truus Geraets, WSIF hosts Forums which unfold individual potential, create spaces of encounter and inspiration, and highlight diverse practices pioneered by individuals and initiatives locally with long-term impact.
Since its founding, WSIF has co-hosted over 20 in-Person Forums on 5 continents and now reaches more people with its online formats.
WSIF partners with changemakers and non-profit organizations inspired by Anthroposophy based in the School of Spiritual Science at the Goetheanum, who are working towards global impact and spiritual engagement in service of true social needs.
Through partnerships and spaces of encounters can we build a spiritual network grounded on a social foundation.
Upcoming Events
WISDOM WORKING
FEBRUARY 15TH, 10 am Eastern Standard Time (EST-New York)
Wisdom Working will resume with a 75 minute Zoom call with Angela Foster and Jordan Walker. They will come together to reflect how the mysteries of life are looking, tasting, touching, feeling, these days. How is love guiding us? What longing, listening, dissolving, are we undergoing in the process of freeing ourselves to be more available for Wisdom's Work in the World?
Angela and Jordan will host a creative, participatory conversation. Please join us!
ENCOUNTERING SELF AND OTHER IN THE SPIRIT OF UTU (UBUNTU)
APRIL 1-5, 2024
The East Africa Association of Waldorf/Steiner Schools (EAAWWS) and the Rudolf Steiner School Mbagathi in partnership with the World Social Initiative Forum (WSIF) warmly invite you to explore the African understanding of Utu (Ubuntu; humanness) and Ukama (relatedness) as well as celebrate Anthroposophy in Africa in the spirit of 100 years of the Christmas Conference.
This 5-day conference will look into the interrelationships of human beings with themselves, each other, and the ever-changing environment, through presentations, dialogue, workshops and artistic experiences.
We welcome participants of all cultures, professions and age groups who are working with and are interested in an anthroposophical view of the human being.
