New training in Hungary
From 20 July to 31 August, the second module of a new training in anthroposophic curative education and social therapy took place in Budapest (HU).
After Nicoletta Kovacs and Ovidiu Recan had spent a year at the Camphill School in Beaver Run (Pennsylvania, us) and had taken part in the training at the Camphill Academy, their long-cherished wish to start an anthroposophic curative education training in Hungary began to take shape. Once they were back in Hungary in the summer of 2018, they contacted everyone who had expressed an interest and almost 40 people came.
When Jan Göschel visited in November 2018 for preliminary talks, the main focus was on the theme of «Becoming a relationship artist». For the first module in April 2019, Rüdiger Janisch from Beaver Run was invited as a lecturer. By studying architecture, sculpture, painting and the motifs of the First Goetheanum, the course members experienced the building impulse for a spiritual-social Goetheanum as the source for the culturally renewing impulse of anthroposophy. On the basis of this experience, the group began to practise perception without judgment.
Recognizing supersensible formative forces
During the second module in July the students were asked to describe someone close to their heart with words, gestures and illustrations. Sonja Zausch accompanied this module with social-artistic eurythmy and Andrea Janisch with Spacial Dynamics and basal stimulation. The students tried to deepen their perception with movement as well as modelling, geometry and speech. These activities allow the supersensibly active formative forces in body and soul to awaken and be phenomenologically recognized. Once the powers of perception have been extended in this way, it is also easier to distinguish whether a person’s disorders and special abilities belong to the physical, etheric, astral or spiritual level. In the second part of the summer module a connection was established between these faculties and the relevant therapies.
In between the modules, the course members meet in order to deepen what they have learned and to prepare for what lies ahead.
