Anthroposophic Medical Section Conference - The Art of Healing

Dear Colleagues,

We have been left so many wonderful and wisdom-filled gifts in  anthroposophic medicine, especially in the many different therapeutic approaches to the human constitution. At our conference this year, we intend to explore how these approaches work on the human being through our 12 senses and engage with our 7 healing life processes. Two central gifts, Anthroposophic Nursing and Mistletoe Therapy, will also be looked at. We will see how these different approaches unite us in our renewed Mystery Medicine under Raphael.

The conference will take place at the wonderful Hereford Steiner Academy, who have hosted us many times in the past.

Alongside the lectures and workshops, we are also privileged to have some Metal Colour Light windows on display (courtesy of Ruskin Mill) with a contribution to explain these.

The conference is open to all health professionals whose work is inspired by anthroposophy. We are open to others on request.
