  A PART TIME TRAINING WITH NINE ONE WEEK MODULES OVER THREE YEARS,
  WITH A STRONGLY EXPERIENTIAL CHARACTER WITH DISTANCE LEARNING and WRITTEN PROJECTS

  This course is based at Emerson College, with individual modules at the University Hospital of Witten Herdecke, Havelhohe Hospital Berlin, Arlesheim Clinic and The Goetheanum Switzerland and Trigonos Centre North Wales.

  

  ABOUT THE COURSE

  The Medical Section of the School of Spiritual Science at the Goetheanum, Switzerland is working with the English Training in Anthroposophic Medicine, to offer a fundamental UK and internationally based training in anthroposophic medicine in English for  doctors and medical students World-wide.

  The Training offers 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. It provides a deeper understanding of common medical conditions. The treatments introduced include anthroposophic medicines and their pharmaceutical production. In addition, the Training also introduces participants, 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 importantly the ethical and spiritual development of the physician, including fundamental spiritual exercises and meditative practices that can aid such development, are introduced.

  Ideal for physicians looking to:

  • Develop new ways of observing and researching, nature, medicinal plants, human anatomy and physiology
  • Experience meeting patients and develop new understanding that encompasses their body, soul and spirit
  • Explore Spiritual Practices and Meditative Work that can support the ethical and spiritual development of the Physician
  • Experience of Art Therapy, Eurythmy Therapy, Rhythmical Massage and other Body Therapies.

  

  ANTHROPOSOPHIC MEDICINE:

  Many patients as well as physicians are in search of an integrative approach tomedicine 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.

  

  VENUES & COURSE STRUCTURE:

  The Training is designed as nine, one-week modules with additional written projects. There are mentored self-study and distant learning opportunities between the modules, with additional distance mentoring for participants’ own medical work. The written work includes several essays based on themes of the training. In addition, three written case histories are required, in order to gain International Certification as an Anthroposophic Physician.

  Most modules take place at Emerson College, England, situated fifteen miles by road from London’s International Gatwick Airport. Located in an area of natural beauty, with immediate walking access to an organic medicinal herb garden and biodynamic horticulture and farm. This internationally renowned College and research centre also provides on-site residential accommodation for course participants.

  In addition, three modules take place in specialist departments within anthroposophical hospitals in Germany and Switzerland and at the Goetheanum. These include the University Hospital of Witten / Herdecke, Havelhohe Hospital in Berlin and Clinic Arlesheim in Switzerland founded by Dr Ita Wegman. The two anthroposophic German hospitals have all the specialities associated with University and General Hospitals and many of the specialist clinicians will be involved in teaching these modules. In the final year one, module is planned at the Goetheanum, Switzerland, the World Centre for Anthroposophy and the Medical Section of the School for Spiritual Science.

  The final module is planned to take place at Trigonos, Snowdonia, North Wales. This is close to Penmeanmawr, a druid stone circle where Dr Ita Wegman had conversations with Rudolf Steiner, which were seminal to the development of Anthroposophic Medine and the General Anthroposophical Society.

  A talk and biography workshop exploring our relationships to money. With Maarten Moens, Coach.
  

  

  This workshop will help us explore our relationship to money in a creative way. We will examine how in the course of our biographies these narratives and stories about money might have changed or repeated some family patterns. By looking objectively at our own biographies, we will be able to connect these insights to how money works in the world and affects us all. This workshop will raise our awareness, deepen our understanding, unblock fears, and generate more freedom to be able to work and use money in a conscious and healthier way. Maarten will use artistic biography exercises, conversation and group exercises.

  This exciting weekend conference will work with the theme of Connecting

  The conference will include a varied program and will focus on:

  • Connecting with ourselves: Through artistic work, singing and meditative exercises, we will encourage and support conference attendees to connect with their thoughts feelings and bodies throughout the conference, with the hope that this will keep ourselves and the output of the conference grounded and authentic.
  • Connecting with our patients: short stories from clinicians about the importance of connection in anthroposophic medicine and in healing to re-enliven our awareness of this fundamental aspect of Anthroposophic Medicine.
  • Connecting with Anthroposophic Doctors: exploring in particular the support of doctors studying or newly qualified in Anthroposophic Medicine - what is available, what is needed, and how can we support the needs of colleagues as a community.
  • Connecting with the wider field of medicine: Research, publications and Education in Anthroposophic Medicine - how to support doctors with sharing and publishing outcomes, and how to attract doctors to Anthroposophic Medical Training.
  • Connecting with the medical section: find a new Anthroposophic Medical Association representative for the newly formed medical section council.
  • Connecting with other professional groups: Supporting therapists, nurses and the wider medical section: exploring the role of the AMA in welcoming other professions into our membership and in supporting therapist organisations.
  • Connecting with the aspirations of the Anthroposophic Medical Association (AMA) membership: Last but by no means least, the Annual General Meeting of the AMA will focus on re-orienting the striving of the AMA, re-energising our membership and activities and re-writing our constitution with consideration given to how to enhance inclusiveness.

  Tell me more!

  Some of these themes will be explored during the AMA Annual General Meeting (AGM) and others in small group or plenary panel sessions during the conference. 

  The conference is being organised by 3 AMA members: Anna Brodski, Joanna Murphy and Simon van Lieshout.

  Who is the conference for?

  This conference is particularly aimed at doctors and medical students. The Saturday is focused around the AMA AGM but nurses, pharmacists and therapists may also find value in some of the content. Please read the program and contact the conference organisers if you are unsure.

  What is the AMA?

  The Anthroposophic Medical Association (AMA) provides a professional membership body for Anthroposophic Physicians in the UK.  It is open to all doctors and medical students who have a positive interest in Anthroposophic Medicine and is considering how best to open up membership to other professional membership groups. You can read more about the AMA on this website.

  The Anthroposophic Medical Association is at a crossroads and this conference aims to acknowledge the history of the AMA in the UK, assess the current situation, challenges and opportunities, and find positive and collaborative ways forward. The views of AMA members and of doctors working with an Anthroposophic approach in the UK will be vital to steering our future in the right direction to serve the profession and support the medical section in the UK. 

  The AMA Annual General Meeting (AGM)

  During the conference we will hold the AGM. AMA members are invited to submit agenda points for the AGM to Frank Mulder. If you don't have his contact details you can send proposals using this form - add "AGM Agenda" to the title please.

  Practical experiences of the etheric and astral qualities in eurythmy and inner observation, with music

  A workshop with Ulrike Wendt 

  The etheric is the basis of eurythmy, when one speaks about it however, it proves difficult to understand or to get to grips with. Most eurythmists have a basic feeling for it in their training, but the capacity for a differentiated movement reflecting the different qualities of the etheric, cannot be taken for granted. The aim of this weekend workshop is to develop such a concept of movement. With the help of music we will look again at the Four Ether movements/qualities, giving examples of soul-filled movement.

   

   The American eurythmist Marjorie Spock (1904-2008) engaged in life long research into the movement types of the four etheric qualities. This work can lead to an intensive qualitative experience of pure etheric movement, and how it can be clearly differentiated from the astral elements in movement. Another useful way in to experiencing the etheric, can be found in the research into formative forces following Dorian Schmidt's methodology. The faculty of perception of the etheric in eurythmy can be opened especially through exercises in formative forces research.   

  Newcomers and also non-eurythmists are very welcome! 

  Ulrike Wendt was born in Berlin and grew up in Mannheim, Germany. She studied romance languages and literature at the University of Heidelberg. After completing her degree she went to Stuttgart to train in eurythmy and was then active for over 12 years in the Else Klink Ensemble and in other performance projects. She has since been teaching and leading workshops in Germany, Switzerland, the Ukraine, Finland and  Chechnya. In 2011 she founded a studio near Weimar where she works on eurythmy theatre projects. She is engaged in the “What moves you” project for young people as a choreograph. In 2013 she completed an MA at the Freie Hochschule Stuttgart.

  Lecture Study 4: Exploring the Etheric and Astral Basis of Cognition A Foundation for Understanding Psychopathology.

  This workshop will bring to a conclusion a cycle of intensive lecture study meetings that began at Emerson College some 4 years ago, originally inaugurated by Dr. Pablo Jeczmien, joined soon afterwards by Dr. James Dyson and, from its inception, led by Dr. Broder von Laue, known to many physicians worldwide and over many decades as a medical teacher who brings particularly rigorous disciplines to the interpretation of Steiner’s lectures. 

  This series of meetings originally had the aim of furthering an understanding of the Etheric, specifically in its relation to an anthroposophic and spiritual picture of the deeper, fourfold processes underlying psychopathology. As this study has progressed, participants have also been able to widen and deepen an understanding of crucial aspects of both the spiritual and traumatic aetiology of mental health disorders very considerably, albeit for the most part remaining only at a more general level. 

  Concurrently with but independently of this process, Dr. von Laue and Dr. Wolfgang Rissmann, formerly a leading anthroposphic psychiatrist at the Husemann Klinic in Germany, have been collaborating in researching and writing a seminal paper, in which these more general insights have become focused into an original diagnostic lens for discovering an organizing principle embracing the widest spectrum of psychopathologies. 

  In this forthcoming workshop in June, we will be studying their paper, subsequently published in the Merkurstab (i.e., the Journal of Anthroposophic Medicine in the German Language) in a working translation by Carlotta Dyson, which both summarises and extends the field of study we have been pursuing throughout the last four years. i.e., throughout this series of workshops at Emerson College. 

  It is the intention behind this final forthcoming workshop in this series to welcome the participation of newcomers without previous experience in this particular series – though some professional background in the field of anthroposphic psychological counseling or mental health would clearly be a welcome prerequisite. It will, however, be our aim to provide the opportunity to those who have not previously participated to at least begin to grasp how the etheric plays its central role in the bio/psycho/spiritual origins of psychiatric pathologies, when considered from an anthroposophic perspective.

  Since this highly original paper represents - as recognised by its authors - work in progress, this workshop will offer the platform and the opportunity for further research and contributions from participants. James and Pablo, who will both be facilitating and contributing to this event, warmly welcome you in anticipation of the opportunities it will hopefully provide as well as for future anthroposophic exploration into this theme, an understanding of which has never been more needed than at the present time.

Led by Dorothy Marlen and certified by Crossfields Institute and the national awarding body CACHE, the qualification has been designed to meet the requirements of the government’s criteria for Early Years Educator (Level 3) qualifications for carers of children from birth to five, released in July 2013, whilst uniquely offering a birth to three emphasis.

  The programme covers the development and care of children up to five years old, with an emphasis on the crucial first three years. It provides depth of understanding and a practical foundation for those wishing to work in Steiner settings and mainstream. The training provides a Level 3 Early Years Educator qualification for those wishing to care for children up to five years old in both Steiner and mainstream nurseries and kindergartens. The course also prepares parent and child group leaders, child-minders, play group leaders, parenting course leaders and carers of children up to three years old.

  How is this training different from other Early Years trainings?

  As well as fully meeting the criteria required by DfE standards for Early Years Educator qualifications, the training uniquely provides:

  • An integrated and detailed understanding of the development and respectful care of children under three
  • An in depth understanding of how to enable natural and full gross and fine motor development in the first three years
  • An emphasis on the principles and practice of creating care environments that encourage play exploration from birth to five, as this is the way children predominantly learn
  • Hands-on experience in practical and artistic skills, as well as singing, storytelling, simple puppetry, celebration of festivals and how to create a calm, imitation-rich environment
  • “Home from home” and outdoor models of childcare
  • A journey in self-development that will confer skills and confidence for caring for children, as well as supporting parents in parent and child groups, parent and baby groups and in other forms of parent support

  “A deep nourishing insight into Early Years Education. I would recommend it to anyone who wishes to enter this profession (journey)and to anyone who is already in Early Years Education at a mainstream setting.”  - Lorena Alina Cavalcanti, Graduating student 2017

  The cost of the course is £3,100.

  Rhythmical Einreibung Foundation Course

  Crossfields Institute Quality Mark Course

  • Are you a nurse, carer, masseur, naturopath, body worker, or health care professional?

  • Do you treat frail or sensitive patients?

  • Are you looking for a more gentle therapy for your clients?

  Rhythmical Einreibung is a very gentle method of therapeutic touch developed for nurses and carers and useful for everyone working in caring or healing professions. It focusses and strengthens the patient’s powers of self-healing through the art of rhythmical touch and is used to warm, calm and harmonise the body to provide comfort and relief. Because of its gentle, calming nature it can be very beneficial for patients who are too frail or sensitive for other hands-on therapies.

  This Foundation Course provides a path of development for anyone looking to expand their skills in giving hands-on body treatments. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the art of Rhythmical Einreibung.
