About This Panel

In preparation for our 2026 Conference, MysTech is convening a panel discussion on the concepts of sub-nature and super-nature — terms that will weave through the online conference, August 6–9. In this webinar, our panelists will explore how these forces apply to our modern world and why we need to become aware of them, as Rudolf Steiner described.

Questions We Will Explore

  • What spiritual beings are involved in sub-nature and super-nature?
  • How do the formative forces of super-nature bring about life in Nature?
  • How does Nature respond to human activities? How do children?
  • What is the equivalent force in sub-nature, if any?
  • What is the relationship between the etheric and sub-nature?
  • How might such forces be brought together in technologies that respond to moral impulses?

The Panel

Doug Smith, Donna LaPre, Ralf Tita, Aleodor Lazarescu, and Andrew Linnell — five voices bringing together physics, cymatics, consciousness studies, and Anthroposophical research to examine forces at work above and below ordinary nature.

A Preview of MysTech 2026

This conversation lays the ground for Facing the Incarnation of Ahriman, our annual conference taking place online August 6–9, 2026. Joining us for this panel will deepen your engagement with the conference themes — and is open to anyone, whether or not you plan to attend the conference itself.
