Rhythmical Massage Therapy Training (Wednesday, April 08, 2026)

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 23:00:00 GMT

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.

Bringing water to life with Flowforms (Saturday, April 18, 2026)

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 23:00:00 GMT

This event and workshop series is being run by Ebb and Flow Ltd in conjunction with the Foundation for Water
” Without good quality water in the future, there will be no nature and no community”

There are three separate opportunities to explore this fascinating and important topic, and these events are designed to build on each other. It is possible, however, to attend just the evening presentation (in-person or online) and/or Flowforming part 1 on its own.
Bringing water to life with Flowforms – evening event and lowforming workshops PDF of all details

What is going on in these water sculptures?

Evening Event: 7:30-9:30 pm Friday 13th February 2026
You can attend in person and online.
Venue: Ruskin Mill Exhibition Room, Old Bristol Road Nailsworth Gloucestershire GL6 0LA
About this evening event: We will explore the way water movement creates forms and how this relates to the formation of organisms in life. We will also explore rhythmic movements in the Flowforms and their relation to the archetypal gestures of water seen in rivers and natural flows. We will also touch on the pitfalls of mechanistic thinking and develop a sense of how water can help us move beyond such binary approaches. Finally, we will discuss the potential for creating individual forms as preparation for those who may wish to join the Flowforming workshops
Cost and Booking: To register your place, either in-person or online, please visit: https://flowform_exploration.eventbrite.co.uk/
Suggested in-person donation fee: £10. For enquiries, please contact: info@ebbandflowltd.co.uk

Flowforming Course Part One

14th & 15th March 2026 Venue: Chalford, Stroud, Glos
About this workshop: What are the conditions for rhythmic, resonant flow, and how can we create these artistically in conversation with water? We will begin by observing flow patterns through tabletop experiments and then demonstrate resonant flow on a flow table using simple constructions made from wooden pieces. From there, we will explore water movements on and within a clay surface on the flow table, shaping this surface individually or collaboratively in small groups. By the end of part 1, participants will understand how to engender rhythmical movement in water practically

Flowforming Course Part 2

18th & 19th April 2026 Venue: Chalford, Stroud, Glos
About this workshop: In this follow-on workshop, participants will build upon their experience from part 1 and will have the possibility to create a permanent, functional, weather-proof Flowform. The Flowform would typically be made from fibre cement
however creation in other mediums may be possible such as carving in stone or wood, beaten from sheet metal, or ceramic made and fired if desired. (Additional costs and arrangements would need to be organised in advance.)

Costs and Booking for the weekend workshops:
Part 1 £265, Part 2 £295 (inc basic materials) Lunch & refreshments will be provided both days
Participants may register for just part 1 or part 1 & 2 together
Early bird special: 10% discount if payment for both made by 16 February 2026

Plant Alchemy as Self-Transformation (Saturday, April 25, 2026)

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 23:00:00 GMT

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.

English Training in Anthroposophic Medicine 2025 (Friday, May 01, 2026)

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 23:00:00 GMT

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.

Health and Hygiene & The Four Temperaments (Friday, May 08, 2026)

Thu, 07 May 2026 23:00:00 GMT

The temperament of a human being reveals the interaction between the physical and the spiritual characteristics of that individual. Understanding the Temperament of a person allows choosing which therapeutic modalities or lifestyle interventions would be best for helping an adult or a child in a particular situation.

Rudolf Steiner has considered the topic of the temperaments to be so important that he returned to this subject throughout his life. We will present specific characteristics of each temperament and discuss, among others, new remedies that may help to balance each of the four principal temperaments.

This presentation will be made by Ross Rentea, MD, with the help of Andrea Rentea MD and Mark Kamsler MD. All three have been practicing Anthroposophic medicine for several decades and are members of the Anthroposophical Society, the First Class of the School for Spiritual Science, the Michael Esoteric Youth Circle, Christian Community and the Physicians Association for Anthroposophic Medicine. They are co-founders of the True Botanica Company and the Lili Kolisko Institute for Anthroposophical Medicine.

Healing the Developing Human From Childhood through Illness to Initiation (Friday, May 29, 2026)

Thu, 28 May 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Annual Conference of the Medical Section in GB

From the moment we are embodied on earth, we are humans in the becoming, only ever striving towards true humanity. First we are met by the parental and pedagogical principles around us which, if rightly informed, bring healing towards our development. When we are adults, each illness, each life challenge asks of us further steps in this development: a renewed self-education of body, soul, and spirit. When we commit to this path consciously, taking on our own development, we are saying yes to a path of initiation. When we as nurses, doctors, and therapists encounter our patients in their own illnesses and crises, the therapeutic and healing intervention can be a catalyst for their own path towards initiation. We as healers have Raphael-Mercury as our guide in this transformation of illness into forces of development. The healing art then becomes the art of initiation.

Joined by our guest lecturer, Prof. David Martin, we want to explore the realities behind child development both in health and pathology. We also want to look at how this continues into adulthood with professional trainings and a commitment to an inner path. Beyond this, we will look at what it means that we as healers engage in the biographical processes of our patients and are asked to mediate the initiatory Raphaelic forces to bring illness into movement and a new step for the patient. There will be small group work on these themes as well as artistic activities and practical updates. Please note change in venue. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are not able to have out conference at Emerson College, so will return to Hereford Steiner Academy again, who always host us with great catering and wonderful spaces for our work.

Anyone with a professional relationship to the medical and therapeutic world is invited, and we also invite our colleagues in the Pedagogical Section and the Section for Inclusive Social Development as we feel the theme is relevant to their work.

The Foundations of Mental Health in Relation to the Waldorf Curriculum: Class 1 to 7 (Saturday, June 06, 2026)

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 23:00:00 GMT

One-day CPD training for teachers, doctors and therapists

on 6^th June 2026 at Temple Lodge, W6 9QL, London

With emphasis on developmental milestones such as the ‘the Rubicon’ and addiction prevention.
With case studies of common mental health presentations.

“Prevention is better than cure.” — Erasmus (13th century)

Waldorf education has the potential to be profoundly health-promoting, offering a truly salutogenetic approach to child development. The foundations of lifelong mental health are laid early, shaped by the quality of interactions between the growing child and their environment. This one-day CPD training explores how educators can consciously support these foundations and, going one step further, learn to recognise early presentations of mental health imbalances.

We will examine the development of school-aged children — from Class 1 to Class 7 — through an anthroposophic lens, considering how the Waldorf curriculum is designed to meet the evolving needs of the child at each stage. We will also explore key developmental milestones — such as the “Rubicon” — and how careful observation and thoughtful support during these transitions can strengthen long-term wellbeing, prevent addictive patterns, and learning capacity.

Using real-life case examples, we will look at common mental health presentations in this age group, including:

Anxiety
Restlessness
Compulsive or obsessive behaviours

Why This Matters

Those working with children in schools and kindergartens are uniquely placed to help shape environments that nurture emotional resilience and mental health.

By understanding developmental needs and recognising early signs of imbalance, educators, therapists and school health professionals are empowered to respond skilfully in ways that foster the well-being of children now and into the future.

COST: £55 for a full day. If you would want to come, but the costs are preventing you, please contact us: info@waldorfschoolhealth.org

Please see programme in the Flyer.

INVITATION

Medical Section Summer School (Saturday, August 15, 2026)

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 23:00:00 GMT

This Summer School is an initiative of the Medical Section at the Goetheanum, with the aim of renewing practical, social, and esoteric co-working in our professional and representational work. We will explore what it means to renew the mysteries in relationship with Raphael, the being who takes an interest in communities working therapeutically.

In September 1924, this work was given a particular form by Rudolf Steiner and Ita Wegman through a practical-esoteric circle for doctors willing to take responsibility for the development of the Medical Section, grounded in a deeper understanding of the task of the doctor for humanity. Our aspiration is that this work may be strengthened and allowed to inform the co-working of other professional-esoteric groups within anthroposophic medicine and therapy. We especially invite those who have both a practical and an esoteric commitment to this work, and who wish to co-carry responsibility for the various anthroposophic healing professions.

In previous years, we have deepened various themes in this direction. We began with visits to sites in Britain that Rudolf Steiner visited 100 years ago, where important impulses were born in conversation with Ita Wegman. Indeed, the human relationship between Steiner and Wegman carries a core karmic and esoteric signature for our movement. To deepen our sense of their cooperative working, we hope to explore their earlier incarnations through short presentations each morning, and to develop these further through speech and drama work in the afternoons. Each day will begin with eurythmy, which will also echo our themes.

Last year, to strengthen multi-professional awareness, while also allowing the various therapeutic approaches to deepen their own sense of identity, we explored the history and essential gestures of the different therapeutic directions, focusing on Eurythmy Therapy, Anthroposophic Nursing, Anthroposophic Arts Therapies, and Anthroposophic Psychotherapy. This year, we will develop this work further and, for the first time, include insights from Rhythmical Massage Therapy. This will be supported by specialist working groups each afternoon, where the different fields of work and their relationships can be explored. For example, Arts Therapists (a group that includes a range of artistic therapies) will meet to deepen their understanding of their distinct identities; Psychotherapists will explore their interface with the work of priests and doctors; and Nurses will meet with Doctors to explore the relationship between their two professions.

An essential question throughout this work is the nature of esoteric community life, and what it means to make a commitment to such work. What might it mean to renew ancient mystery wisdom within a modern, practical, and esoteric community of therapeutic professionals? Presentations and conversations will support the development of this theme.

A visit to the Wellsbourne Community Project in Brighton is planned, alongside a visit to Saltdean Beach, to experience a local clinical project as well as aspects of the surrounding natural environment.

If you feel you are actively carrying anthroposophical medical and therapeutic work and are drawn to be involved in this impulse to strengthen our practical and esoteric co-working, you are warmly invited.

Awakening in the Temple of Spirit: Orienting to our Spiritual Home (Saturday, September 12, 2026)

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Once we have crossed the threshold into the spiritual world, we must orient ourselves to this new world, to this new form of existence. We must navigate many reversals. Where we were once passive recipients, we must now become active builders. Where we were once active out of our own self-will, we must now become receptive to the deeds and speech of the hierarchies. We stand on a vista encompassing both past and future, both subject and object, and must find our stance in the middle. From the middle space, the present-moment feeling ourselves within spirit, we begin to discover and explore our home in spirit. We meet our higher self and become both perceptive and active in this new world. We learn to stand on a spiritual foundation stone and perceive a world filled with the activity of many beings including the Gods who create the very foundation of our existence, our bodily nature. With true meditative forces, we create a temple which enables us to commune with spirit.

Our First Class conference for psychotherapists will work with Class Lessons 10 and 11. These lessons do not speak directly of the guardian, but rather our “I” begins to orient itself in the spiritual world. Class Lesson 10 brings a 12 fold mantram which helps us orient to the experience of earth, stars, deeds of the spirits, and speech of the Gods, utilizing body-free thinking, feeling, and willing. In Class Lesson 11, we discover from a spiritual perspective with the help of our angel how our threefold physical form created by the Gods allows us to build a temple for our spirit, enabling us to be, to live, and to will.

How does this new perspective, grounded in real spiritual experience and knowledge, impact us and our work with our fellow human beings? How can our newfound orientation in spirit contribute to healing for our clients? How can our knowledge of the temple of the body, created for us by the hierarchies, inform our healing work?

The conference is participatory, with small group work. The conference will include Class Lessons, conversations, and eurythmy.

Interested First Class members from healing professions are welcome to attend, especially psychotherapists and all professionals who work in a psychotherapeutic way with clients. Please bring your School of Spiritual Science blue card for admittance. The conference will be offered in the English language, with additional reading of the mantras in German.

To receive further emails about this conference, and to register, please email the initiative group with your contact information at FCPsych@GoogleGroups.com.

Your email is your registration; there is no online form. Please arrive

on September 12, 2026, at 15:00 (3pm), with cash to support the conference.

International Annual Conference 2026 (Wednesday, September 16, 2026)

Tue, 15 Sep 2026 23:00:00 GMT

International Annual Conference

Standing on the Abyss – Trauma, Development and Resilience

Dear colleagues, dear friends,

We are in a turbulent time with a feeling of many quickly-approaching thresholds. Change comes rapidly and in unexpected ways. Some shifts are a clear call for more wakefulness, part of the time of the consciousness soul. Other changes bring painful chaos, separation, trauma and loss – with the border between these two types of experiences not always clear.

At our annual medical section conference, we will strive to create a protected space to explore both the wounds and scars that come with trauma, as well as gaining a deeper understanding of mostly unexpected developments in spiritual growth and new resilience.

How can we interact with the world and our fellow human beings in a helpful and healing way during this time? What are we being called to do?

A selection of planned lectures:

Trauma and Evil from an Anthroposophic Perspective | Nurit Rosengarten, Hanan Goldman

The ethical view of the traumatized sheathes of the I | Oswald Hasselmann

Post-traumatic Growth and Resilience | Zheni Nasi

Best greetings, on behalf of the preparation group

The Weleda Accredited Holistic Esthetician Facial Course (Friday, September 25, 2026)

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Wellbeing treatments - particularly massage and the recognition of the life of touch - are very much part of Weleda’s DNA. Dr Ita Wegman, Weleda's co-founder, studied massage before she became a medical doctor. She developed a very individual rhythmical massage technique, echoing nature’s rhythms and patterns.

Inspired by this approach, we have developed an accredited qualification with Crossfields Institute, so those wanting to learn Weleda’s unique ethos and specialist facial techniques can expand their existing beauty qualifications or develop a completely new skill as a Holistic Esthetician.

The training includes all the necessary skincare foundation including skin analysis and skin conditions, anatomy and physiology in relation to skin and face, and Weleda’s treatment consultation and facial sequence. The course also provides a deeper understanding of Weleda’s natural and organic cosmetics and working with the products adds an invaluable additional layer of training for the esthetician.

The course is made up of four modules or units - two of these units will require in-person attendance at Weleda Head Office:

Unit 1 - 1-day Online Workshop plus a six-hour online foundation module completed from home, in your own time, prior to attending Unit 2.

Unit 2 - Three days of onsite practical training at Weleda Head Office, Ilkeston, Derbyshire.

Unit 3 - Home study period: case-study work, two online sessions, and completing treatments.

Oncology Symptom Support: Advancing Care Across the Cancer Journey (Friday, October 09, 2026)

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

A one-day hybrid NCIM Conference

Symptom Support is Central to Quality Cancer Care

Effective symptom management can transform the cancer experience. As treatments advance and survival rates improve, the focus is shifting: how do we help patients not just live longer, but live better? Evidence shows that proactive, integrative symptom support can improve treatment tolerance, quality of life, and potentially outcomes.

This isn’t about replacing oncology standards. It’s about enhancing them. From managing treatment side effects to addressing pain, fatigue, and psychological distress, evidence-based symptom support is becoming essential to comprehensive cancer care at every stage of the journey.

This conference brings together the latest research, clinical insights, and practical frameworks you need to advance symptom support in your practice. Whether you’re an oncologist, specialist nurse, allied health professional, or anyone working in cancer care, join us to explore how science, prevention, and compassionate approaches can improve patient experiences from diagnosis through survivorship.

What You’ll Take Away

Evidence-Based Insights The latest research on health coaching effectiveness in cancer care, primary care settings, and population health, so you can make the case to colleagues, senior leadership, or clients.
