Life forces of language

Dear Colleagues

A hundred years after Rudolf Steiner's death, we live in a world in which the life forces of the human being and the earth are becoming increasingly weaker. States of exhaustion and fatigue occur just as frequently as depression and anxiety disorders. How can we use the tools of therapeutic speech and drama therapy to strengthen the life forces? How can we stabilise our inner alignment to counteract debilitation and fear in the midst of polarising, aggressive tendencies and develop new perspectives?
In order to pursue these questions, it is helpful to train our perception of the etheric and the guidance competence of our I. In this way, we can learn to become shapers of the etheric ourselves.
Our focus this year is on joint practise and perception in order to gain insights into the etheric.
As a prelude to the conference, there will be the opportunity to gain concrete experiences of the warmth and life ether using the research results and equipment of strader:tech relating to moral technology and to perceive, differentiate and conduct these in our own bodies. 
After the start of the conference, we will immediately embark on perception exercises on the etheric in the plenum. We hope that the medical and therapeutic contributions during the course of the conference will motivate everyone to continue to experience and apply the effects of the etheric and to engage in research. 
After the official end of the conference on Saturday, the struggle of the human being for the divine-spiritual core of their being can be experienced in the performance of Faust by the Goetheanum Stage. As theatre tickets are limited, we ask you to book as soon as possible.
The plenary contributions will be in German, with Spanish and English translation. For contributions to the Interactive Evening – Language & Play, please contact Marjo van der Himst: marjo.vanderhimst@hetnet.nl The conference is intended for colleagues from the fields of therapy, medicine and (supportive) education. 
We look forward to seeing you and the days working together!
