What is health? Where does health come from? How can we support recovery or minimise pathogenic influences in ourselves, in our social environment and in the treatment of the earth? In times of climate change, the question of health has taken on a global dimension. Without a healthy environment, individual health and the health of our societies will be threatened. We want to discuss fundamental questions of health and illness at those different levels. What understanding, what attitude do we need in order to face the pressing issues of the 21st century together? The concepts of OneHealth, examples like planetary health diet or the Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Healthcare (TCIH) approach are internationally developing. In our dialogue, we want to look for solutions and ask the question, what can I contribute for healing processes?

Who leads whom? Together we shall search: for guidelines and orientation, for the sense in all things, for the experiences and observations of the youth in all fields of life, for the experiences of the older generation too. We shall travel along paths in conversation, in song, in games, where we might discover Michael, the spirit of our time.

Children with childhood challenges often express their inner tension and stress through difficult behaviours. In this workshop, we will examine various scenarios that you may encounter with your children and how doing art can promote the healing journey of children. We will place a special emphasis on utilising art materials found in nature to overcome financial constraints, particularly in areas where healing through art is most essential.

This is a double workshop (session 1 & 2) 

In this workshop we will unpack this question together, and thereby explore the relationships between: curriculum; community asset mapping; and networking with parents, families and local communities.

All wisdom begins in wonder. Curative Education marks what was a ground-breaking collaboration between pedagogy and the medical world to understanding special needs children. This workshop aims at sharing experiences and building an enduring foundation for understanding children with special needs in our society. We will cover conditions such as: autism, attention deficit disorder, spina bifida, hydrocephalus and down syndrome. Expect interactive sessions suitable for all including teachers, caregivers, parents, siblings, therapists and all those working with a child with special needs.

Agriculture is one of the key outcomes of Antroposophy. In his lectures in 1924 Rudolf Steiner (the founder of Biodynamic Agriculture and Waldorf Education) explained how recently the food that we eat can no longer give the energy necessary for manifesting the spirit and physical life. This workshop will introduce Biodynamic Agriculture, compost making and how nature forces are important in agriculture and human development. Participants will also learn about horticulture, farming in tropical and semi arid conditions, agroforestry, natural ways to deal with pests, diseases and weeds with a new technology (Push Pull method). Insight into healthy nutrition, the Biodynamic Calendar, carbon sequestration and certification processes will also be part of the training.

In Waldorf education, the focus is on nurturing the whole child through a holistic approach to learning. Students engage in hands-on activities, artistic expression, and outdoor experiences to foster creativity, critical thinking, and a love for learning. It's all about creating a supportive and nurturing atmosphere where students can thrive and develop their unique talents. It's an exciting and innovative approach to education! We shall explore the dynamics in Waldorf that fosters students in new communities of human living. Come with us on this journey and let's unpack and have a taste of what it is like in the African perspective..... You are our textbooks and we are your students.
