Perceiving etheric heart forces in our own biography
For arts therapists (modelling, color, music, speech), students of arts therapies, physicians, medical students, psychotherapists and teachers
25th International Study Days for Anthroposophic Arts Therapies
Dear colleagues, Continuing in the footsteps of biographical development, we are dedicating this year's conference to the etheric forces of the heart, as they unfold during the three seven-year periods, from 21 to 42.
Our task is to perceive more finely and listen to the heart, to its movements in forms, colours, sounds and words of the etheric world!
Within this call lies the task of listening to our own finely pulsating heart and developing our powers of intuition. This is also the key to empowering our patients to listen to their own heart and thus shape their own life's path.
Obstacles and crises appear in these years of life as both inner and outer abysses. At the same time, they can also develop into key moments for taking hold of one's biography and life in an “I”-like manner. They are often accompanied by deep spiritual experiences.
If we look at social change, the physical, mental and spiritual phenomena of younger generations, and the questions they bring, we recognise the need for creating new paths and answers. The relationship of the earthly and the spiritual—reflected in the form of the human physical body and in the form of a living spirituality in the being of love, the Christ—becomes more urgent.
This is where we, as therapists, are called upon to create warm relationship-spaces and raise our therapeutic attitude and ability to a new level. How can we support and enable such listening to the heart’s forces in order to give meaning, courage and hope?
These topics are suitable for all phases of life and for clients of all ages, as they help us develop a deeper understanding of biography, in the sense of the biographical U. In paired lectures with case studies, as well as lectures and working groups, we will explore offerings and methods from all the anthroposophic art therapies.
We look forward to seeing you again in Dornach!
Warm regards
