    1Friendly Disclaimer: Please note that the Anthroposophic Psychotherapy Certificate Program is set up as an in-depth schooling in spiritual, or esoteric psychology. The program is an educational schooling. While self-development and mental health are comprehensively addressed conceptually, and through experiential activities, the program is NOT designed to be a group therapy experience nor a full training in psychotherapy. One cannot achieve a professional ethical standing as an anthroposophic psychotherapist/counselor without a creditable licensure in a designated mental health discipline plus a comprehensive schooling in anthroposophic psychotherapy. Lastly, the program supplements conventional academic achievements. It does not grant a recognized licensure in mental health, psychotherapy, social work, psychology, or counseling.

    27th International Study Days for Anthroposophic Arts Therapies

    "Wisdom of the Heart" - From the Maturing of the Soul on the Threshold of Life to the Birth of the Spirit

    7-10 January 2027
    at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland



    Program


    Dear colleagues worldwide! 

     

    We warmly invite you to join us in January 2027 for the fourth and final part of the art therapy conferences on the theme of the heart and the seventh year! We began this journey in 2024 with the theme ‘The Heart Awakens – on the etheric forces of the heart in the therapeutic encounter’ and continued in 2025 with ‘Listening to the Heart – on perceiving the etheric forces of the heart in one’s own life story’. Last year, our journey was guided by the theme ‘Harmonies of the Heart – Courage to Be Oneself’.  Now it is a matter of rounding off this arc from the age of 63 onwards, whilst at the same time opening it up. We are devoting ourselves to questions of the wisdom of the heart, extending beyond the threshold into the spiritual world. What wisdom can we seek and find in a heart that has come alive? What significance do processes that have become unbalanced in geriatric care hold for a person’s future life story and karma? What might be important in palliative care to build a true bridge to the spiritual world – which we sense, or perhaps hear glimpses of, in our everyday therapeutic practice? 

     

    It is certain that art therapies – whether music, colour and form, or words – touch and nourish our clients. We perceive this directly in therapy. But how, specifically, does art-therapeutic work alter the interplay within the structure of the ageing person’s being? Do we have the courage to listen to the end of physical, earthly life, and to the person’s continued existence in the world-ether? How do we practise serenity and find meaning in our therapeutic work in geriatrics, palliative care, and end-of-life care? 

     

    Three pairs of presenters, each presenting a case study on these key themes, can offer insight and inspiration into this valuable work. The working groups invite you to engage more deeply with individual topics. 

     

    We look forward to working together, to lively, inspiring exchanges, and to the gentle mutual encouragement of our therapeutic practice and our humanity. 

     

    With warm regards Laura Piffaretti, Esther Böttcher, Linda Teipen, Katja Schultz, Katrin Sauerland, Marieke Schagen-van Houts 

     

    On behalf of the leadership of the Medical Section Dr Marion Debus, Dr Karin Michael and Adam Blanning MD
