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.

Warmly,

Giovanna Bettini, Wolfgang Drescher, Jacqueline Gerbrands, Boris Krause, Susan Overhauser,

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

Marion Debus, Karin Michael, Adam Blanning

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.

English Training in Anthroposophic Medicine 2025 (Friday, October 02, 2026)

Thu, 01 Oct 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.

The Power of Pausing and Presencing (Friday, October 02, 2026)

Thu, 01 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

In our fast-paced world filled with constant demands, challenges, and distractions, how often do we truly pause to reflect, become present, and reconnect with ourselves?

You will explore pausing and presencing as foundational activities that open the door to greater self-awareness, inner calm, and resilience.

“Pausing” is to self-reflect…it’s the first step in learning to ‘let go’ of behaviors that hinder our progress.

"Presencing” is the first step to manifesting change!

Through guided reflection, simple exercises, and experiential insights, you will learn practical ways to:

strengthen your self awareness and capacity, overcome the voices of fear, judgement, cynicism and doubt, and
interrupt reactive patterns and create space to become your best and truest self.

This webinar also serves as an introduction to “A Course in Resilience – Transforming Our Inner Terrain”, a 2-part online course planned for this Fall.

The Power of Pausing and Presencing is presented by FHC co-founders Dr. Steven Johnson, DO, and Dr. Daciana Iancu, MD. Dr. Johnson is an osteopathic physician, former president of the Physicians’ Association for Anthroposophic Medicine, and a frequent lecturer in integrative oncology, botanical medicine, and Anthroposophic medicine. Dr. Iancu is board certified in Internal Medicine and Integrative Medicine, certified in Anthroposophic Medicine, and integrates conventional medicine with natural therapies while considering the physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual dimensions of health. Together, they bring decades of clinical experience and a shared commitment to helping individuals cultivate greater health, resilience, and presence.

October 1st, 2026 5pm PT / 8pm ET (UK 2nd of October 1am)

Rhythmical Massage Therapy Training (Wednesday, October 07, 2026)

Tue, 06 Oct 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.

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.

How do we care for our memories in a way that honours both ourselves as we are now, and the memory as it was then? What might a memory need from us to transform, to soften, to speak or to be held meaningfully? Can our memories become resources as spaces to nurture new growth?

Our memories need open hearted, gentle, non-judgemental care. Rather than hiding, denying or suppressing them, can we find a way of listening to them in deeper ways? Perhaps in ways we have not considered before.

This workshop will integrate reflective discussions, biographical and artistic exercises to explore this theme in a safe and creative way.

No artistic experience necessary.

Materials will be provided.

Refreshments available.

Please bring your own lunch.

International Conference on Therapeutic Speech and Drama Therapy (Wednesday, October 14, 2026)

Tue, 13 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to warmly invite you to join us in further deepening our understanding, perception and awareness of the etheric. This year, our medical and therapeutic focus is on the impact of trauma on the life and health of the verbal person.

In our collaborative research, we will explore questions such as:

What imprint do traumatic events leave in the fabric of the constitutional elements?

How do their effects manifest themselves in the etheric and in interaction with the physical organisation?

Through perception exercises, lectures and workshops, we will practise reading body resonances in connection with emotions and trauma, and understanding their significance for diagnoses such as ME/CFS or selective mutism.

Conscious sensing can serve as a mindful compass in our therapeutic, medical and educational work, enabling traumatic imprints to gradually transform into imprints of the I.

Through our collaborative exploration, we will experience the healing potential of therapeutic speech and drama therapy in supporting traumatised children, young people and adults – and in doing so, strengthen our trust in the healing power of the creative word.

We look forward to a lively professional exchange!

International further training and conference for School and kindergarten doctors as well as teachers specialising in educational support and learning in emergency situations (Thursday, October 22, 2026)

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

International further training and conference for School and kindergarten doctors as well as teachers specialising in educational support and learning in emergency situations

Supporting learning and development. Challenges on the path of becoming

Dear Colleagues,

The Medical and Pedagogical Sections at the Goetheanum warmly invite you to a conference exploring how the learning and development of children and young people in challenging situations can be supported. It is aimed at teachers working in the field of special educational needs in kindergartens or schools, school doctors, as well as anyone who works with Children in emergency situations in an educational or therapeutic capacity.

In joint study in terms of our understanding of the human being, we will examine how learning can be supported by nurturing a connection with a person's own body and senses. Subject-specific working groups and Forums will provide opportunities for further training and the exchange of experiences in the fields of school medical services, special educational needs, and learning in emergency situations.

We hope that many experts will take part, particularly many teachers who are interested in the question of how children can be supported through therapy, educational support and the arts whilst learning in adverse developmental conditions.

The lectures will be delivered in German and simultaneously interpreted into English. The languages used in each working group are specified. Other languages are available on request; a minimum of 10 participants per language group is required.

We look forward to our work together in October (online and in-person)!

For the preparatory group

Karin Michael, Constanza Kaliks, Philipp Reubke

I as Victim – I as Creator (Friday, October 23, 2026)

Thu, 22 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

A Journey of Self-Discovery and Empowerment in a Confusing World

Wi th Anita Charton

How do you become a conscious creator of your life? How can you connect to your inner core and respond to an ever more confusing world with clarity, strength and creative purpose?

In times of increasing complexity and contradiction, it becomes more vital than ever to understand the deeper currents shaping and influencing our inner lives. We so often can fall 'off track' or respond from a place of feeling unaligned to our deepest Selves.

Using the framework of Biography Work, bodywork, conversation and deep reflective practice, this workshop will help you:

Reconnect with your inner centre
Understand what forces are influencing your soul and life path
Recognise and transform destructive forces by activating your own creative potential
Discover and work with your life themes
Contribute to the development of humanity through the material of your
Own biography

Participants will work with their own biographic material in small groups. The process will be accompanied by theoretical contributions and movement improvisation. This workshop will be especially valuable for those seeking orientation and meaning in their own life and will offer a chance for inspiration and reconnection particularly to those in the helping professions.

Costs: £230/£195

Growing in Soul and Body Through Shaping and Burning (Thursday, October 29, 2026)

Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

a non-residential study meeting by the Medical Section in GB

Our journeys continue. It began with the Hibernian Mysteries and the student’s experience of human polarities: hard and soft, male and female, Winter and Summer, science and art, past and future. We learned that similarly our human I identity has a hereditary and cosmic part that jointly create who we are, who we become. Like our souls that need to connect but not merge with our bodies, we have to learn to keep moving through these polarities to maintain an overall balance between them…through heart forces, through Christ qualities.

We remain very much (re)searchers and beginners along this way, and therefore warmly invite new as well as past participants to join us for this special study meeting, which will use conversations, contributions, contemplations, patient stories, artistic and eurythmy exercise - and good nutritious food - to help us.

If you feel you would like to connect with this quest, you are most welcome to join us for this study!

Health Studies (Thursday, November 05, 2026)

Thu, 05 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT

A course in Spiritual Scientific Research for enriching therapeutic work and personal development

This part-time training offers a living experience of spiritual-scientific research as a foundation for therapeutic work and personal development.

Designed for health-care professionals—including complementary practitioners and anthroposophic therapists in training—the course explores how Goethe’s and Rudolf Steiner’s approaches to understanding nature and the human being can enrich modern healthcare.

Through a balance of study, observation, and artistic practice, participants cultivate a deeper understanding of body, soul and spirit, discovering new ways of perceiving health, illness, healing and resilience.

The programme consists of nine modules over three years, each lasting 3.5 days. A CPD certificate is issued for each module, and a Full Course Certificate is awarded upon completion of all nine modules.

Modules take place at: Emerson College, East Sussex, The Field Centre of Gloucestershire, and Rudolf Steiner House, London.

This course will start in November, more info to follow.

Becoming Whole Together (Saturday, November 07, 2026)

Sat, 07 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The Human Being and the Social Organism as One Living Process

As physicians, nurses and therapists, we devote ourselves to the healing of individual human beings.

But what if there is, in reality, only one process of healing?

What if every movement towards greater inner freedom, responsibility and wholeness not only transforms the individual, but also contributes to the healing of the social organism? And what if the way we organise our work, our relationships, our institutions and our financial life either strengthens or weakens that very same process?

If this is true, healing is never merely personal and never merely social. It is one living movement expressing itself in different dimensions of life.

In this workshop we will explore this question from a spiritual scientific perspective. Beginning with the Four Quadrants as a map of human and social development, we will investigate four interconnected movements through which the healing of the individual and the healing of society become inseparable.

Together we will explore questions such as:

What does it mean to become your own?
How can we create relationships that make each other possible?
How can land, labour and capital be managed from within beyond the logic of state and market?
How can money support life?

The workshop will not offer a social model to be applied. Instead, it invites participants into a shared inquiry.

Perhaps the future of medicine does not only depend on how well we understand the human organism, but also on how deeply we learn to recognise the social organism as a living reality.

The central question of our time may therefore be: How can we live and work in such a way that every act of healing contributes simultaneously to the healing of ourselves, one another, and society as a whole?

About Jac Hielema

Jac Hielema is a Dutch author, researcher and facilitator whose work explores the relationship between inner development and the renewal of society.

For more than thirty years he has been investigating questions of freedom, community, ownership, money and human responsibility as living realities that can be explored through experience, dialogue and practice.

As a peer within the wider movement of Economy Transformers, he contributes to the ongoing exploration of new forms of stewardship, collaboration and social organisation.

His work is rooted in the Philosophy of Freedom by Rudolf Steiner, always beginning with careful observation, genuine inquiry and the conviction that lasting social change grows from the inner development of the human being.

Jac is currently devoting much of his time to getting to know people and initiatives across the United Kingdom. Rather than bringing ready-made solutions, he hopes to place his own experience and work in service of what is already seeking to emerge there. He sees every conversation as an opportunity to learn together and to discover how individual and social healing can become one living process.
