Since the Toronto group includes individuals who have not worked  together before, the focus of the November meeting will be on getting to  know each other, as well as discussing the nature of anthroposophical  branch work in general. &nbsp;The group will then consider  if there is a shared interest in moving forward with one or more  practical projects. &nbsp;This approach is based on the fact that most  successful branches have developed gradually out of a shared history of  practical work.&nbsp; The being of the branch emerges out  of the collaborative doing of a team.&nbsp; A formal request to the Council  to recognize a new Toronto Branch is many months away, and will only be  considered if the group is successful in maintaining a productive,  shared activity. &nbsp;If you are interested in hearing  more, or participating in the November meeting, please contact Robert  McKay at <a href=\"tel:%28416%29%20723-5608\" target=\"_blank\" value=\"+14167235608\">(416) 723-5608<\/a>. <\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; by Robert McKay With several study groups now underway in the downtown core, a group of Society members and others interested in Anthroposophy will be meeting in November to discuss the idea of developing a Toronto Branch of the Anthroposophical Society in Canada.&nbsp; In&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-members-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anthroposophy.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anthroposophy.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anthroposophy.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anthroposophy.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anthroposophy.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anthroposophy.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2111\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anthroposophy.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anthroposophy.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anthroposophy.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
