  TRAINING INFO

  Training as a Rhythmical Massage Therapist involves not only mastering the techniques of the massage itself, but also developing an understanding of the human being in health and illness, both from a conventional and anthroposophical perspective. You will learn a subtle rhythmical quality of touch which works with levity rather than gravity to strengthen and enliven the life-supporting processes in the human body.

  Teaching and learning take place through a combination of lectures and hands-on practice, mixed artistic media exercises, discussion groups, tutorials, regular between-module medical assignments, year-long independent projects, case studies and special seminars. Through these methods, students can develop a thorough, in-depth, and holistic approach to the theory and practice of Rhythmical Massage Therapy.

  The first year’s theme is the healthy human being both from a conventional and an anthroposophical point of view. After that, the focus will be on the dynamics of health and illness in its varying manifestations. During the two years, you will learn the basic forms of Rhythmical Massage Therapy and then deepen these massage movement skills qualitatively by learning how to transform the archetypal forms to suit specific illnesses.

  An in-depth Anthroposophic Training incorporating Personal and Professional Development with twelve modules spanning three years

  Crises in mental health are of increasing contemporary relevance for society in general, manifesting in all areas of life and work.

  This well established training is designed to address this complex theme in the context of the demands of modern life and changes in human consciousness. In addition to providing a broadly based content, it offers participants opportunities to deepen an experience-based and empathic understanding for individuals struggling with their mental health including addressing challenges of those closely involved in their support.

  Confidential interpersonal sharing confers on the Seminar some characteristics of a retreat.

  

  The programme offers participants opportunities to explore these challenging themes in ways that are based on lived experience rather than only on abstract diagnosis. It also aims to enhance capacities to respond meaningfully to psychological challenges:

  Understand Mental Health and illness.

  Learn to pursue self-reflective practice

  Develop appropriate personal and social competencies in the field of Mental Health

  
  

  Skills in inter-disciplinary group work, self-refl ective practice and intervision are developed for peer and professional co-working. All presenters aim to model and encourage creative dialogue between anthroposophic and current psychotherapeutic paradigms and practice.

  Three online teaching presentations, held by Adam Blanning MD, will be paired with interdisciplinary small group discussions about the cases. Anyone who is working with patients is welcome to take part!

  What is it about?

  In collaboration with Ita Wegman, Rudolf Steiner finishing the book "Fundamentals of Therapy" ("Grundlegendes füreine Erweiterung der Heilkunst") as one of his final tasks before his death in 1925. The book is an open secret — difficult to read if you approach it like a usual book of factual content, but profound when understood as a guide to process, constitution and states of being. That doorway opens wider when we work with it in group study. Through case discussions, we wish to offer an international celebration of this landmark guide for extending the art of healing.

  Each lesson will be offered twice:

  You choose which timing works best for you. Both sessions will use the same zoom link:

  • once for Europe (Saturday afternoon), Americas (Saturday morning), and Western Asia (Sunday morning)

  • once for Eastern Asia (Sunday morning), Australia/NZ (Sunday morning), Americas (Saturday evening)

  Lesson 1: Case #1 90 minutes

  • Anxiety, Palpitations and Pain: the Astral body in a state of excessive activity
  • Session A: Europe, Americas, Western Asia: 1500 GMT (London) — 3 May (Sat)
  • Session B: Asia, Australia / NZ, Americas 0000 GMT (London) — 4 May (Sun)

  Lesson 2: Case #2 90 minutes

  • Depression, Fatigue and Apathy: the Astral body with insufficient affinity to the etheric and physical bodies
  • Session A: Europe, Americas, Western Asia: 1500 GMT (London) — 28 June (Sat)
  • Session B: Asia, Australia / NZ, Americas: 0000 GMT (London) — 29 June (Sun)

  Lesson 3: Cases #5 and #6 90minutes

  • Allergies and a Tendency towards Cramps: Hypersensitive astral body and I-organization
  • Session A: Europe, Americas, Western Asia:  1500 GMT (London) — 25 Oct (Sat)
  • Session B: Asia, Australia / NZ, Americas:  0000 GMT (London) — 26 Oct (Sun)

  Learning Goals:

  • Gain deeper understanding of the fourfold constitutional pictures that stand behind important illnesses

  • Share ways to enliven our work with patients

  • Connect as a worldwide community in a celebration of Rudolf Steiner and Ita Wegman’s generous gift

  Tuition (which covers all three sessions):

  • Solidary 100 CHF (supports the participation of others)
  • Regular 60 CHF
  • Discounted 45 CHF
  • Hardship 30 CHF

  Recordings, including translation, will be sent out for all lessons, but because this activity centers around small group work and learning, we encourage everyone to take part in the live sessions as much as possible. Small group discussion time (30+ minutes) will not be included in the recordings.

  9 one-week modules over three years

  Based in the UK, Open to Doctors Worldwide

  A part-time post-graduate training for physicians

  International Anthroposophic Physician Certification

  
  

  A new cohort of the English Training in Anthroposophic Medicine will start in Autumn 2025. The first module is 4 to 12 October 2025.

  Please note that the following is content is being updated to reflect the 2025 course and may be subject to change.

  Is there a place for the whole person in contemporary Medicine?

  Can we move beyond reductionist science to embrace the soul and spirit as well as the physical body?

  Many patients as well as physicians are in search of an integrative approach to medicine that embraces the whole person, in their mental and spiritual being as well as in bodily aspects. To this end, anthroposophic medicine was founded in 1920 by Dr. Rudolf Steiner and Dr. med. Ita Wegman.

  Today this School of Medicine is alive in practices, therapeutic centres and anthroposophic hospitals throughout the world. It is taught in international training courses and is researched* in university departments with associated professorial chairs.

  Module Details & Topics Covered

  It explores new ways of understanding a patient’s condition that go beyond current purely physically based medicine, emphasising the patient’s spiritual, psychological and bodily capacities for resilience.

  The training offers a deeper understanding of common medical conditions, offering participants experience-based learning processes that lead to an extended understanding of the human being, both in health and illness, and in their relationship to nature.

  The treatments introduced include anthroposophic medicines and their pharmaceutical production. The course also provides a foundation for prescribing natural medicines and a range of non-medicinal therapies that have been shown in general practice to radically reduce the prescribing of antibiotics and other groups of conventional medicines, while improving patient satisfaction.

  In addition, participants are also introduced to art therapy, eurythmy therapy, body therapies and nursing procedures through direct experience. These non medicial treatments can intensify therapeutic responses to illness. Biographical aspects and insights from psychotherapy and counselling are also considered in developing an understanding of disease processes.

  Equally important is the ethical and spiritual development of the physician. Fundamental spiritual exercises and meditative practices that can aid such development, are introduced throughout the training.

• International Conference on Therapeutic Speech and Drama Therapy

  • When
    Wednesday, October 15, 2025
  • Location
    Goetheanum, Dornach / CH

  
  

  Dornach, May 2025

  Dear Colleagues

  A hundred years after Rudolf Steiner's death, we live in a world in which the life forces of the human being and the earth are becoming increasingly weaker. States of exhaustion and fatigue occur just as frequently as depression and anxiety disorders. How can we use the tools of therapeutic speech and drama therapy to strengthen the life forces? How can we stabilise our inner alignment to counteract debilitation and fear in the midst of polarising, aggressive tendencies and develop new perspectives?

  In order to pursue these questions, it is helpful to train our perception of the etheric and the guidance competence of our I. In this way, we can learn to become shapers of the etheric ourselves.

  Our focus this year is on joint practise and perception in order to gain insights into the etheric.

  As a prelude to the conference, there will be the opportunity to gain concrete experiences of the warmth and life ether using the research results and equipment of strader:tech relating to moral technology and to perceive, differentiate and conduct these in our own bodies.

  After the start of the conference, we will immediately embark on perception exercises on the etheric in the plenum. We hope that the medical and therapeutic contributions during the course of the conference will motivate everyone to continue to experience and apply the effects of the etheric and to engage in research.

  After the official end of the conference on Saturday, the struggle of the human being for the divine-spiritual core of their being can be experienced in the performance of Faust by the Goetheanum Stage. As theatre tickets are limited, we ask you to book as soon as possible.

  The plenary contributions will be in German, with Spanish and English translation. 

  For contributions to the Interactive Evening – Language & Play, please contact Marjo van der Himst: marjo.vanderhimst@hetnet.nl

  The conference is intended for colleagues from the fields of therapy, medicine and (supportive) education. We look forward to seeing you and the days working together!

  Freedom to Nurse CPD

  With course facilitators Hannah Spreadborough, John Ralph and Dr Michael Evans

  This weekend CPD course invites nurses in practice to explore together how the initiative to nurse can breathe more freely today. The vocation of nursing faces immense challenges – too much is being asked of too few. Yet within this pressure lies the opportunity to renew the essence of nursing as a healing art.

  Across the weekend, participants will:

  • Share experiences and personal challenges in nursing today
  • Inquire into the deeper meaning of health, illness and healing
  • Explore body therapies and self-care practices to reduce stress
  • Take part in creative and nature-based exercises
  • Develop practical strategies for patient care and wellbeing
  • Consider ways forward for the future of nursing

  This CPD course offers both inspiration and practical tools. Participants will be encouraged to create their own approaches, supported by simple therapies and inner development practices that can enrich nursing work and sustain personal resilience.

  Virtual worlds, embodiment and psyche.

  Origin and overcoming of mental illness in the first and second septennium

  Dear Colleagues,

  'In view of the multitude of threatening and potentially also destructive forces that surround and indeed encircle the being of the child from birth onwards, the question is justified as to what things educational and therapeutic approaches can actually draw on spiritually in the face of this real existing overwhelming power.'

  This is the first sentence in Peter Selg's book "Kindheit und Christuswesen - Von der therapeutischen Haltung im Angesicht der Bedrohung" ("Childhood and Christ Being – The Therapeutic Stance in the Face of Threat"), published in 2015.

  If anything, we are experiencing this question as an even more burning and topical issue today, because in addition to a large number of external hardships such as wars and hunger crises, there is meanwhile a threat to childhood in every seemingly whole play space. In the close environment of children, the harmful effects of screen media and their invisible radiation are already being felt prenatally. The world that is invading the developing sensory organisation and nascent souls of children through this technology is full of dark messages. Although the impairment of vitality by radiation that is hostile to life is meanwhile the subject of intensive research, far too little action is being taken on the findings.

  At the same time, 100 years after Rudolf Steiner's educational impulse, we are more grateful than ever – especially in the face of these threats – for the health-giving effect of Waldorf kindergartens that offer shelter and rhythm as well as an artistic and living Waldorf education.

  We just have to keep making our remedies stronger and intensifying them. And, as Rudolf Steiner said, 'We must indeed give children back their childhood!' (Konferenzen mit Lehrern der Freien Waldorfschule, GA 300C, Dornach 1975, p. 137).

  The aim of this conference is to learn, in addition to recognising the dangers, how to support healthy embodiment and thus mental health and how to strengthen vitality.

  We also look forward to discussing any questions you have brought with you about school medical care!

  Looking forward to meeting and working with you, the preparatory group sends its warmest regards,

  Michaela Glöckler, Johannes Kux, Ulrike Lorenz, Claudia McKeen, Karin Michael, Bettina Pump

  • Location
    Rudolf Steiner House

  
  

  This seminar will be an opportunity to explore Hilma af Klint’s destiny with anthroposophy. Her tireless search and what she encountered in Dornach are easily overlooked in the popular acclaim her work has had in several recent publications and exhibitions. After meeting Rudolf Steiner and encountering the wet-on-wet painting technique, Hilma af Klint embarked on a new direction, both in content and style. This last phase of her tireless exploring opened a new dimension for her continuing striving. The many diverse fields of Hilma af Klint’s artistic endeavours, the changing collaborative constellations, and the different sources of her inspiration were all integral to the questing of her free and honest spirit. Anne Weise from The Rudolf Steiner Archive in Dornach will give two illustrated lectures on this development in Hilma af Klint's work, and Mary-Anne Paterson will offer a painting workshop on the wet-on-wet technique.

    Glasshouse College, DY8 4HF,

  

  Glasshouse Study Meeting hosted by the UK Medical Section

  We want to continue on our shared journey to understand and experience how the dynamic relationship between polarities brings about life and our individual selves over time.

  Relevant polarities under consideration in our studies include those readily visible in nature (e.g. male, and female, sun and moon), those present in subnature made visible through their consequences (e.g. electricity, magnetism) and those of a more moral or supersensible quality (e.g. science and art, Ahriman and Lucifer, good and evil).

  How does the spirit engage with matter to bring about life, the human being, our individuality and freedom?

  In this centenary year of Rudolf Steiner’s crossing of the threshold we recognise that many aspects of his work remain to be fully understood and this work is offered to make some progress on our individual and shared journeys.

  We will continue to work with aphoristic notebook entries by Rudolf Steiner about a seminal esoteric lesson given 16th April 1922 in London, in close context of his lectures on the Hibernian mysteries (7-9th December 1923). Daniel Nicol Dunlop (1868-1935), an early leader of the British Anthroposophical Society, will also remain in our awareness, as someone whose work successfully combined esoteric and industrial leadership in his time.

  We warmly invite you to this study meeting which is open to all who wish to connect to it to deepen the substance and colleagueship of their own work. Whilst we are on a journey, we welcome new participants as many roads will need to be retraced as well as new ones built.

  Our work will be co-carried by Hans Broder von Laue, Susanne Koszyk, Rainer Klocke,

  Hazel Adams, Frank Mulder, Saskia Renkema, Peter Hanrath, Ursula Werner (Eurythmy).

  A lot of modern medicine makes diagnoses through checklists. That can help give a name to something, but doesn’t necessarily help you know why it is happening or what can be done to help it. A “constitutional” approach—looking at individual patterns of attention, prioritization, engagement and movement—provide very helpful views. It’s more complex than a checklist, but that is because each child is a little bit different. We have to take to the time to look carefully.

  Our presenter, Adam Blanning, MD, practices anthroposophic family medicine in Denver, CO. He is a co-leader of the medical section at the Goetheanum and teaches widely about child development.

  Beneath the apparent diversity of today’s musical traditions lies a common source in the harmonic series. This musical phenomenon, made visible by the monochord, underlies the tuning systems of diverse musical traditions, such as Slendro, Persian, and Pythagorean music, as well as Western music. Through a hands-on exploration of the monochord, bronze gongs, and other instruments, we will experience the natural intervals of the harmonic series, and compare these intervals to the intervals in different musical traditions, including the equal tempered intervals of Western music today. This course offers a musical approach that can bring us closer to the essence of music and cultivate a holistic musical consciousness. It is for everyone interested exploring in the deep structures of music and new musical responses to our contemporary culture.

  We cordially invite you to the 26th International Conference for Anthroposophic Arts Therapies. We want to focus on the importance of the harmonies of the heart in the phase of life between the ages of 42 and 63 and place the medical emphasis on cardiology, oncology and the diagnosis of burnout.

  In lectures, working groups and discussions, we will develop more understanding together, acquire expert knowledge and, above all, come to a growing awareness of what moves people in this phase of life and how we can accompany them through the changing landscape of their earthly journey in our art therapies.

  Read more on our website – We look forward to seeing you again!

  With best regards

  Laura Piffaretti, Esther Böttcher, Katja Schultz, Katrin Sauerland, Linda Teipen, Marieke Schagen-van Houts

  and the leadership of the Medical Section: Dr Marion Debus, Dr Karin Michael, Dr Adam Blanning

  We're currently finalizing the detailed program and registration process. You can pre-register here, and we'll let you know as soon as registration is available:

  Through intensive study of plants, Goethe learnt to see the leafing, flowering and fruiting processes as expressing stages of expansion and contraction. Drawing on projective geometry, George Adams and Olive Whicher learnt to see these processes as movements between the point and the periphery. On this course we will follow in Goethe’s, Adams’s and Whicher’s footsteps and, through an experiential and hands-on study of plants and projective geometry, learn to see plants as they did. This course will be of interest to anyone wanting in exploring the beauty of plants.

  This course delves into the transformative potential of both the theory and the practice of the Western alchemical tradition. At times deemed to be a precursor to modern chemistry, at others as an imagistic language of the collective unconscious, we will explore the contemporary relevance of alchemical ways of knowing and working. Drawing on alchemical insights from Paracelsus, Robert Allen Bartlett and Dennis Klocek, we will explore how processes undertaken in the transformation of materials contributes to self-transformation. Through making alchemical essence from plants, we will engage with the many different uses of fire/warmth, touching on how the alchemical worldview has contributed to contemporary developments in traditional herbal medicine, agriculture and education.

  This course offers an experiential introduction to Goethe’s colour science. We will explore colour phenomena from Goethe’s Theory of Colour using custom-build projectors and state-of-the-art optical equipment. Drawing on research from the Goethean scientific tradition inaugurated by Michael Wilson and André Bjerke, this exploration will be extended to include phenomena and experiments from the subsequent development Goethe’s conception of colour and the optical conception within which it is embedded. This course will be of interest to artists, science educators and anyone interested in exploring a scientific paradigm that overcomes the separation of object and subject typical of contemporary scientific thought.
