Harmonies of the Heart - Online Conference Anthroposophic Art Therapies
Save the date: May 16, 2026
Dear art therapy colleagues in the fields of painting and sculpting,
After our successful first online symposium on painting and sculpting in May 2025 and your positive feedback, we would like to invite you again to a new online symposium this year.
It will take place on May 16, 2026, from 3:00 p.m. to approximately 9:30 p.m. CET.
-> CHECK YOUR TIME HERE
The conference languages are English and Spanish!
The title of the online conference is: “Harmonies of the Heart – Courage to Be Yourself” – analogous to the January conference in Dornach. The conference dealt with the 42-63 age group and focused on cardiology, oncology, and burnout diagnoses.
The following items which will be our guideline and focus, are now on the agenda for the online symposium:
- Welcome by Laura Piffaretti at the January conference
- Retrospective contribution to the conference topic by Marion Debus
- Short interview with two Latin American participants
- Case study Painting (live) by Katrin Sauerland
- Recording of the working group on the Platonic solids by Slavojka Djurdjevic
- Independent work time (offline) on the working group video and impulse for painting/drawing
- Exchange on independent work time in breakout rooms & plenary session
- Recording of the closing contribution from January
Questions that may arise during the following septennium of life (ages 42-63) include: What does it need to find the courage to continue on the path you have chosen for yourself, despite the dissonance in your own biography? And how do you stay connected to your deepest essence, which is at home in the spiritual world? Where do I stand, why am I here, what else do I want to bring into the world?
When people succeed in feeling their own spiritual light again, they can experience inner peace and guidance. Is harmony a state of being that we can allow to resonate as the keynote of our own existence, or is it a welcome guest that comes and goes like the tides of the soul? Are we able to descend deeper into our keynote layer by layer under our own steam?
And then: how can we support our clients in finding a new support so that, through gentle heart power and devotion to themselves, they can rediscover their inner guidance and spiritual alignment and strengthen themselves anew?
Make sure you have clay and the necessary tools, watercolors, pastels, pencils, and the appropriate paper and accessories ready.
We look forward to your participation! Warm regards from the preparation team
