These workshops will explore processes of inner practice which can develop your instrument of seeing. For all we will begin on a Wednesday night and end Saturday night allowing Wednesday morning and Sunday as travel days.

We will see live patients in each workshop including exams, practice of perception, experiencing and prescribing therapies, meditation contemplations, tuning our abilities to see into the ether processes and more. (Those who attend the first workshop “Methodology in Practice” will be allowed first registration for all other workshops.)

· Those who have completed or partially completed an anthroposophic medicine training
· Those new to or desiring to practice phenomenological seeing with patients and plants
· Those interested in experiencing nursing and therapeutic eurythmy treatments

“The principle of the mystery is that one learns to think pictorially, that events throughout the universe are recorded in images, including healing in the cosmos and healing in the microcosm, which is only an image of the macrocosm. The images then have to be combined in meditations.” Ita Wegman
"Some 3000 years ago, during the flowering of the most ancient Greek culture, there existed schools that were very different from those of today. The basis of these ancient schools consisted in the belief that man had first of all to develop new faculties in his soul before he could become capable of attaining to true knowledge concerning mankind.
Now it was just because, in these ancient times, the more primitive soul-faculties did not incline towards the dreamy and visionary, that it was possible to experience, in the so-called mysteries, the spiritual foundations from which all forms of learning arose. This state of things came to an end more or less contemporaneously with the founding of our universities during the 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries. Since that time we learn only in a rationalistic way. Rationalism leads on the one hand to keen logic, and on the other hand to pure materialism.
During the course of the last few centuries a vast store of external knowledge has been accumulated in the domain of biology, physiology, and other branches of research which are introductory to the study of medicine; indeed an amazing mass of observations, out of which an almost immeasurable amount may yet be obtained! But during these centuries all knowledge connected with man, which could only be gained with spiritual vision, sank completely out of sight.
It has therefore become actually impossible to investigate the true nature of health and disease.
In order to emphasize this remark, I may mention that even at the present time (according to the descriptions given in my books) it is possible so to raise the faculties of the soul that the spiritual nature of man may be clearly distinguished from the physical. The spiritual part of man is, for the spiritual observer, just as visible as the physical part is for the man who observes with his outer senses; with this difference, however, that our ordinary senses have been and are incorporated into our bodily organism without our cooperation, whereas we must ourselves develop the organs of spiritual sight." -Rudolf Steiner
