Exploring Rudolf Steiner’s Legacy: The 2025 Medical Section Conference at the Goetheanum
Visitors interested in the intersection of spiritual science and practical healing can look forward to the upcoming 2025 annual conference hosted by the Medical Section. Set at the monumental Goetheanum in the Basel region, the event centers on Rudolf Steiner’s significant late work, Extending Practical Medicine: Fundamental Principles Based on the Science of the Spirit.
What to Expect from the 2025 Medical Section Conference
Co-authored by Rudolf Steiner alongside Ita Wegman, the text remains a cornerstone of anthroposophic medicine. Discussions during the conference will delve into the collaborative origins of the book, its structural composition, and its modern applications in healthcare and child development.
Attendees and participants will explore key themes from the text, including:
- The dual nature of the etheric body and its role in human regeneration and thinking.
- The relationship between physical growth processes and cognitive development, particularly regarding child development and school readiness.
- The foundational methods of Imagination, Intuition, and Inspiration as extensions of natural scientific medicine.
