DESCRIPTION:With Michael Gove and the coalition approving new Steiner Scho
 ols to open under the Free School Programme\, it is timely to look closely
  at the origins and beliefs of Rudolf Steiner\, the founder of the occult 
 movement of Anthroposophy. Steiner was a mystic who believed he had direct
  clairvoyant access to cosmic knowledge. As such he developed an esoteric 
 belief system based on karma\, reincarnation\, astrology\, homeopathy and 
 gnomes. His visions gave insights into architecture\, art\, dance\, agricu
 lture\, medicine\, education\, science and diet. His racial hierarchy of s
 piritual developmental resonated in Germany in the early 20th Century turn
 ing a personal belief into a worldwide movement. Today we find hundreds of
  anthroposphically inspired organisations in the UK alone: everything from
  Steiner Schools\, Biodynamic farms to banks\, pharmaceutical and cosmetic
  companies\, charities and cheese makers.\n\nAndy Lewis has been trying to
  lift the veil on the inner secrets of the movement and will discuss how t
 his secretive movement has direct impact on public life.
