In her youth, she was recognized as a painter of great promise, and was well known as an artist by the age of twenty-one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer active, searching spirit and deeply religious nature led her, in 1905, to Rudolf Steiner, who was then the leader of the German Section of the Theosophical Society. This encounter proved decisive for her entire life. She united herself with the work of Rudolf Steiner, heard many of his early lecture cycles, and became a friend and coworker of those who first carried forward the impulse of anthroposophy. She worked as a painter, under Rudolf Steiner's direction, on the original Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer love of Russia and her wish to be part of its destiny drew her back to Petersburg and Moscow during the early days of the revolution. Thus, between 1917 and 1922 Woloschin was an active leader of the Russian Anthroposophical Society and was the first to bring the art of eurythmy to Russia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the end of 1922, seeing no possibility for free cultural life in Soviet Russia, Woloschin left for Germany.
