John Bloom Human Wisdom 4 by human wisdom with Tanya Coburn

John Bloom would like to encourage those of us with a spiritual practice to get out of our chairs and become cultural activists. He has a background in fine arts, community supported agriculture, school administration and for the past 20 years has worked at RSF Social Finance in the US where his role as Vice-President of Organizational Culture attends to the reflective and relational aspects of the organization. He's keen to explore the potential for those of us who have developed a spiritual practice to put our ideals into practice. What he calls cultural activism involves going out into the world and giving others the opportunity to listen to what's in their hearts. As General Secretary for the US Anthroposophical Society, he speaks, writes and lectures about topics like money as a symbol of relationship, this notion of cultural activism, and how to apply Rudolf Steiner's concept of social threefolding.
