Interview with Jane Bradshaw, ASinA by Painted Space

Jane Bradshaw is the General Secretary of the Anthroposophical Society in Australia, a role she has been in for 18 months. She often writes a short message to members and friends for the ASinA website but this time, since Jane regularly fields questions about her role and its responsibilities and challenges, we decided on a more informal chat that also answers some of the questions new members have.

After outlining her role, Jane goes on to talk about her connections with international colleagues and members before discussing some of the drawbacks and positives of starting the role of general secretary during the pandemic. There have been challenges, of course, but also some unexpected highlights.

Not surprisingly for a nurse, Jane's signature gesture is 'care' for others and this shines through her words, as she shares her thoughts frankly but thoughtfully, wrapping up the interview with what she believes is the biggest challenge to Anthroposophy today.
