As part of a Steiner based community, I feel I can make a suggestion here. In my community, we constantly find ourselves having to re examine our ethics and motives, look ahead to where we are going and pause to reflect on where we have been. It's essential, both to make sure we are going in the right direction and to have the 'right' answers for new people who join us.
Times change, what was in the forefront of ecology or people ethics 30 years ago needs to be updated. It is nothing to do with political correctness - (that's a superficial thing) but about what is real now.
The young people coming forward are the future, I don't see the pointt of sidelining them with an 'I am older ,wiser and more experienced' approach. They are faced with a longer life in a more fragile world than you or I grew up in and have a sharper sense for bullshit of any kind, a great strength, I think.
Inspire people - you have the platform.
Where is the moverment going? From hummus to hubris? ;-)

( british humour, an acquired taste maybe... but Steiner had a lot to say about the importance of humour, even if he was German) .....
