What is it about?
In collaboration with Ita Wegman, Rudolf Steiner finishing the book "Fundamentals of Therapy" ("Grundlegendes für eine Erweiterung der Heilkunst") as one of his final tasks before his death in 1925. The book is an open secret – difficult to read if you approach it like a usual book of factual content, but profound when understood as a guide to process, constitution and states of being.
That doorway opens wider when we work with it in group study. Through case discussions, we wish to offer an international celebration of this landmark guide for extending the art of healing.
We look forward to welcoming you to this event!
Adam Blanning MD

Our Topic:
Burnout and exhaustion are spreading like a contagious disease these days. Sleep disorders and depressive moods accompany this state of chronic weakness.
At the same time, many people feel more sensitive to noise, cell phones, Wi-Fi, as well as other stimuli and sense impressions.
What are the reasons for this new pandemic? How can we prevent and treat it?
We are looking forward to your questions and a lively exchange. The meeting will finish after about 90 minutes. Presentation and discussions will be in English. The session will not be recorded.
We warmly invite you and look forward to your active participation!

Caregivers can only provide care for which they are already certified and/or per workplace protocols. NAANA courses with or without certification do not provide a license to touch. State licensure or certification is necessary for professional practice. This course does not qualify for certification as a massage therapist.

We are excited to announce that registration for The Arc of Becoming: Medical and Pedagogical Support in the First Phase of Life is now open.
The conference has been co-created by members of the Medical Section and the Pedagogical Section, and we look forward to welcoming teachers, practitioners and other interested parties to Spring Valley, NY, from August 6-10, 2025.
We appreciate your help spreading the word within your circles and look forward to seeing many of you at this important in-person conference.
Adam Blanning will facilitate the conference keynote lectures, bringing two disciplines together in the keynote sessions: medicine and midwifery in the first session, midwifery and education in the second, and education and medicine in the final keynote session. Karin Michael will speak about spiritual and medical embryology; Johanna Hünig will talk about pregnancy, birth, and life through the first year; and Debbie Laurin will talk about life from 12 months to three years. Together, these presentations will weave a picture of how a spiritual space is created that fills as a child grows and forms in the womb, then enters and fills the space that a loving environment can provide from family members, caregivers, and the broader community.
We will have workshops from many different streams to dive deeper into this critical time from all different perspectives. Throughout the conference, we will have space for artistic work together, small group child study, and case discussions. We hope to weave together the pedagogical and medical perspectives to deepen all our work and create space to more fully welcome today's incoming children.
