# Sophia Commons

> Sophia Commons (https://sophiacommons.org) is a free global directory and resource hub for the anthroposophical community founded on the work of Rudolf Steiner. It lists about 900 organizations in nearly 60 countries: Waldorf (Steiner) schools, biodynamic farms, Camphill communities, eurythmy and the arts, anthroposophic medicine, eldercare, societies and study groups. It also offers a festival calendar, news, a Rudolf Steiner book list, curated anthroposophical YouTube channels and podcasts, and memorials.

The site is free to use. Listings can be suggested by anyone and are reviewed before publishing. Content is in English with interface translations in German, Spanish and Russian.
