Johannes Schuster was the founding Class Teacher of the Little Yarra Steiner School in outer Melbourne in 1987. As subsequent administrator and building designer during the Birst 20 years of Little Yarra’s establishment phase, he was instrumental in the school’s growth from K- Year 12 and the creation of an inspiring environment of purpose designed buildings on a beautiful 60 acre property in the Yarra Valley.
With over 45 years background in Anthroposophy, it was Johannes’ particular interest in the Four Ethers which led to his involvement with architecture, resulting in the creation of an Anthroposophically based theory and methodology of Transformative Art & Architecture (TAA), which he and his wife Sue have been teaching in Australia, Switzerland (Goetheanum 2015 and 2016), Argentina, Malaysia and China, for the last 14 years, online since 2020. Because of its wide ranging, spiritual scope, the TAA course has attracted the interest not only of architects, designers, and artists, but also that of Waldorf teachers, therapists, farmers, business owners and entrepreneurs.
More recently, Johannes also began offering general Anthroposophical lecture cycle on the spiritual history of humanity and Earth and the Structure of the Spiritual Universe
