COURAGE: From Idea to Initiative
Have your inspiration come to life!
And join us for the 2026 youth section conference in Fair Oaks, CA.
August 3rd-7th
The Courage Conference is a five-day inquiry into the heart of spiritual-science, hosted by Meristem (formerly Rudolf Steiner College) and the Sacramento Waldorf School. Together, we will seek an experience of the truth as it lives in the warmth of soul, transforming dead intellectuality through direct revelation. By engaging our faculties of thinking, feeling, and willing, we will learn what it means to create out of a living relationship to Spirit.
Participants will collaborate in a series of workshops aimed at incarnating raw ideas into group initiatives. Teams will form around common interests, and over the course of the conference, you will be tasked with creating a seed from which your shared vision can become manifest in the world.
To sustain us on our journey, there will be daily opportunities to participate in theatre games, an open-mic, music, dance, and swimming in the American River.
The Courage Conference will provide a space for connection, inspiration, and so much more. It will be a launching pad for lasting commitments that can unfold beyond our short time together.
Registration will open in March, so stay tuned!
This conference is intended primarily for folks ages 17-35.
