Location: Antropia, Driebergen

Antropia is located on the Reehorst Estate on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, which was purchased in 1969 by the Vrij Geestesleven Foundation. In 1979, the Iona Building was constructed as the site for the Vrije Hogeschool; it was built in the organic style, inspired by the second Goetheanum designed by writer and architect Rudolf Steiner. Today, Antropia serves as a cultural and conference center that welcomes 50,000 visitors annually. The venue is wheelchair-accessible.
