a journey of inner spiritual development through “Learning by Doing”:
Spiritual Science Research – London course at Rudolf Steiner House in person with Inessa Burdich
The Spiritual Science Research course is a practical educational course focusing mainly on Anthroposophical Meditation and Spiritual Science Research. In the last seven years, more than 400 participants have taken the course, which is currently facilitated in six languages.
Our study mainly focuses on research on our supersensible constitution. This is the first step in spiritual diagnostics, where we learn and deepen our knowledge of the fundamental aspects of our inner soul and spiritual life, and get closer to understanding how to achieve a higher level of awareness of our inner life.
The path of self-development based upon Spiritual Science presented in this course will focus on you strengthening your “I” (your sense of Self) as a foundation of all spiritual work. We bring awareness to the whole of our individual system, especially in purifying and refining thinking and feelings, achieving subtle attentiveness and strengthening the will. We develop new capacities; we learn valuable skills that we then convey back to our personal and professional fields. These capacities lead to new insights and innovations one can bring to life, and all disciplines can benefit.
The course consists of practical workshops and talks, thematically related to each other. At each meeting, we immerse ourselves in the world of supersensible ideas, principles, and phenomena that are presented in talks. These topics are deepened in workshops, where we perform Anthroposophical meditations, research and perception exercises.

The Spiritual Science Research course consists of seven themes allocated over seven meetings on Sundays.
16 November, Sunday, 2025:
Theme #1
TALK – Meditation as a path of spiritual development and as a research method.
Meditation has recently become an increasingly popular subject but is described and applied in many different ways. So what is it? In this talk, we will explore meditation as a way to nourish and train our soul in a similar way that food and physical exercise are daily necessities for us.
Moreover, you will learn that meditation can also be used as a tool for spiritual research over a wide range of areas.
Focusing on an inner core question is the first aspect of spiritual research and creating a clear content-less inner space is a crucial requirement for it. Achieving these aspects gives the higher worlds the possibility to provide clear insights concerning the research topic.
WORKSHOP –How to control your thoughts
In the workshop, we will discover and apply practical exercises to deepen the topic of the talk. This will be a space to explore the value and practice of meditation as a training and research process. Subjects covered include the following.
- Practising thought concentration;
- Experiencing and researching qualities of stability and confidence;
- Exploring physical body and I-presence connection;
- Weleda productts research.
