Threefold Youth Co-Lab
The Youth House
“THE YOUTH HOUSE IS RADICALLY RETHINKING HOW SOCIETY COULD REFLECT THE NOBILITY OF THE HUMAN SOUL.”
The mission of the Youth House is to renew Anthroposophy into a meaningful, legible, and practical movement for today.
Beginning September 2025, Threefold invites young adults to participate in a transformative residential experience in the Lower Hudson Valley of New York State.
The Youth Co-Lab rethinks how society could reflect the nobility of the human soul.
The program is structured around three interconnected pillars:
Study: Developing an inner capacity for meaning
Initiative: Creating projects that address contemporary challenges
Service: Grounding wisdom in practical community engagement
Study
“THE STUDY PROGRAM SERVES THE DEVELOPMENT OF THREE ARCHETYPAL FACULTIES OF THE HUMAN SOUL.”
Study empowers us to develop our understanding and inner life, to become better stewards of our individual potential for world-becoming.
Co-creative learning: conversation-based study sessions centered around texts by Rudolf Steiner or related to Anthroposophy
Contemplative practices: meditation, perception exercises, and artistic studio work
Visiting faculty: experienced practitioners as learning companions
Dynamic curriculum: a flexible pedagogical approach incorporating the foundations of esotericism and the needs of individuals in the moment
Initiative
The heart of the Co-Lab lies in creating new forms for societal transformation. The program supports the unique initiative of each resident, as well as providing projects for the Co-Lab team to accomplish together. We do this through:
Identifying where our personal gifts meet the world’s needs
Peer to peer collegial support
Community Feedback through regular sharing opportunities with the wider community
Network Amplification across the Global Youth Section Network
