Annual MysTech Conference 2026: Becoming Aware of the Etheric
For our landmark 10th conference, we turn our attention to the etheric realm — the domain of living, formative forces that exists between the physical plane and higher spiritual planes. As technology increasingly shapes the conditions of modern life, understanding these life forces becomes essential for counterbalancing our slide via technology into sub-nature.
Our speakers will explore practices, such as eurythmy, for opening doors to etheric perception. Using Goethean science, we seek to discover the living qualities within substances and elements. Can each of us strengthen our etheric vitality to fully participate in our age of screens and social media? Can we find Christ in the etheric to be our brother as we necessarily tread through Ahriman’s sphere?
“We can only become sure of ourselves as human beings if we walk the road created by the whole of technology, but do not let our lives be governed by the products of technology, and grow able to behold the Christ power that can become part of us and overcome all those products of technology.”
— Rudolf Steiner

A Festival organized by the Eurythmy Association of North America (EANA)
Festival Information
The Calendar of the Soul with its 52 verses is the inspiration behind this event. Rudolf Steiner composed the calendar to tune the soul as a companion through the year. Later on he also created eurythmy forms for each verse in variously sized groups. This festival will bring all 52 verses to performance in eurythmy in English, as a U.S. premier. EANA has gathered groups nationwide (including Canada, Mexico and Taiwan) to prepare the verses for performance at the festival.
We welcome the general public interested in exploring this remarkable progression through lectures, and artistic workshops in eurythmy, speech, painting and plant dying. Professional level courses in eurythmy are taught by distinguished teachers in the field from the U.S., Holland, and Germany.
The festival features Mary Stewart Adams, Mac Mead and Daniel Hafner as keynote speakers in the morning and offers evening performances of Poetry, Music and Eurythmy (featuring segments of the whole calendar). The event’s culmination is on Sunday morning with the US premier of all 52 verses performed in sequence in eurythmy. We will witness the unfolding of the breathing of the human soul and cosmos in the realm of the etheric. We look forward to welcoming you on the grounds of the Threefold Educational Foundation.
