COMING EVENTS

Upcoming events

  • Rhythmical Massage Therapy Training

    • Wednesday, April 03, 2024
    • Friday, October 16, 2026
    • 10 sessions
    • Emerson College RH185JX


    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.

    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.

  • The Courage to Heal

    • Friday, February 20, 2026
    • Sunday, February 22, 2026
    • The Goetheanum


    ‘I am for striding forwards.’ (Ita Wegman)

    Dear colleagues, dear friends,

    the conference marking Ita Wegman's 150th birthday on 22 February 2026 will honour her extensive life's work in the field of the anthroposophical art of healing and supportive education, her service to countless people in need, her alert historical judgement and achievements in resistance, but also her social commitment to an Anthroposophical Society open to and connected with the world as well as to the Goetheanum as a School of Spiritual Science with a cosmopolitan orientation.

    The conference, which is being jointly organised by the General Anthroposophical Section, the Medical Section and the Section for Inclusive Social Development, will focus on the question of the FUTURE. ‘Resignation was a concept alien to Ita Wegman,’ emphasised Madeleine van Deventer. ‘Hopeless – that word did not exist for her.’ Emanuel Zeylmans van Emmichoven spoke of Ita Wegman as an inspirational genius of anthroposophy, and he was convinced that the inner connection to her, the intentions and motives behind her work, would carry the anthroposophical movement and the Goetheanum forward into a healing, Michaelic future in a world under threat.

    Best regards

    Peter Selg on behalf of the preparatory group,

    Adam Blanning, Marion Debus and Karin Michael

    For the second activity we need your direct help. For, in addition to the conference at the Goetheanum we need helpful hands in all parts of the world. We invite you to offer a therapeutic event in your community in honor of Ita Wegman. We hope that you – perhaps with colleagues in your area – will provide a healing experience for others, especially those who might not otherwise have access to these kinds of treatments. And we encourage you to offer it as a free gift to others (without charge).

    This could be a workshop on biography, hands-on treatments, whatever you can offer. This is a free choice, depending on your work, your inspiration, and your possibilities!

    Please let us know what you are planning. We will be gathering information about the activities that can take place on or around 22 February 2026, at this survey.

    We will then share information about the collected activities, hopefully also illustrated with reports, photos, or videos (we will reach out to you again after the event to learn more about what happened) and include it as a special presentation at the 2026 International Annual Conference as well as on our website.

    We look forward to hearing about your ideas!

    With warm regards, Adam Blanning

  • Goodness and the Astral Body

    • Friday, February 20, 2026
    • Sunday, February 22, 2026
    • Tobias School of Art and Therapy RH19 4LZ


    We will conclude our three-year exploration of the three qualities ‘Truth, Beauty and Goodness’ based on Rudolf Steiner’s lecture from 19th January 1923. We had chosen this theme because we feel these qualities are more important than ever on so many levels: in our therapeutic practice and personal journey, but also as a contribution to building a world worth passing on to the next generations.

    In 2023 we began with looking into truth in relation to our physical body. In 2024 we worked with beauty in connection with our formative life forces. In spring 2026 we will explore the good and how it relates to our soul forces. This will be very intriguing and open up many creative possibilities since Steiner describes the good as an inner force that is of the greatest importance for the development of the future, as ‘a living seed for a spiritual world in the future’.

    When we started our conference cycle it coincided with the 100th anniversary of Steiner’s lecture. It is however important to us, to engage with these qualities from a contemporary perspective. Although, they remain fundamental pillars of our human existence, and yet, how can we conceptualise, experience and nurture them in the light of our complex social demands and mental health of our time?

    We therefore want to invite colleagues to share their work in our case study presentations, because what we can learn from each other is richer than any other learning. We also have a keynote speaker, Karin Jarman who will address questions in her lecture “Truth, Beauty and Goodness in the Context of the Challenges to our Humanity Today”. Over the following two days we will then deepen the theme creatively.

    Please note that participation in this conference does not require you to have attended the first two parts. We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to the beautiful grounds of Tobias School of Art and Therapy in Ashdown Forest, Sussex, where the conference will be hosted. You will find our detailed programme for the 2026 conference with time table and information on the activities and facilitators here. The registration form is available to download here. We will support you in finding accommodation.

    • Saturday, March 21, 2026
    • Sunday, March 22, 2026
    • Emerson College RH18 5JX

    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.

    • Thursday, March 26, 2026
    • NIEPERFITZ, GERMANY

    Singing therapy according to the “School of Uncovering the Voice” is an anthroposophically oriented art therapy. In the searching, exploratory handling of the musical elements, the breath, the listening process as well as consonants and vowels, we ourselves immerse ourselves deeper and deeper in a transformative learning that can accompany us throughout our lives on the way to our "I-sound". Through this active, searching transformation, we connect with our inherent creative resources. The voice is the organ that connects us more and more deeply and consciously with these creative, creative forces within us.

    "Learning in this way that as an adult you transform yourself, become a different person, yes, develop into something that you were not before, which is therefore more than bringing existing predispositions to fruition" .... (Coenraad van Houten1) ... that is adult education at eye level, which serves us as an ideal.

    • The “Raphael School for Singing and Singing Therapy” is a member of the International Association for Education in Anthroposophical Artistic Therapies - iARTe. The Curriculum has been recognized and approved by the Medical Section of the School of Spiritual Science at the Goetheanum.

  • Plant Alchemy as Self-Transformation

    • Saturday, April 25, 2026
    • Sunday, April 26, 2026
    • Emerson College RH18 5JX


    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.

    • Emerson College RH18 5JX

    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.

    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?

    Save the Date Annual Conference 2026

    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
