When I look into the sun Its light speaks radiantly to me Of the spirit that full of grace Through world existence works.
Sun, you bearer of radiance, The power of your light on matter Conjures life from out of Earth’s Immeasurably rich depths.
When I feel into my heart, The spirit speaks its own word Of the human being that it loves Through time and all eternity
Heart, you bearer of the soul, The spirit power of your light Conjures life out of the human being’s Immeasurably deep inwardness. I can see, looking upward, To the sun’s bright orb, The mighty world heart.
I can feel, looking inward, To the heart’s warm life: The ensouled human sun.
Rudolf Steiner for Henriette Maria Wegman (1851–1935) on her 73rd birthday
International Annual Conference 2021 | 3 Anthroposophic Medicine
Dear Friends of Anthroposophic Medicine,
In the second year of the pandemic, the longing for human encounter and expert discussion is growing. It is precisely in social distancing that we experience the special quality of meeting with colleagues and so we hope that it will again be possible to hold this annual conference at the Goetheanum. The COVID-19 disease has confronted Anthroposophic Medicine with the question of whether we are in a position to make a relevant contribution to the important health issues of our time. Together we developed integrative treatment concepts; in doing so, the international interchange between colleagues was very important.
Thus the effectiveness of anthroposophical care and therapy could be experienced both in anthroposophical hospitals and in outpatient practice, in Rio de Janeiro and Lima as much as in Berlin or Arlesheim. Important contributions have also been made in treating the often serious consequences of the pandemic contain- ment measures. Equally, the pandemic poses spiritual questions. We are grateful for the thoughts developed from different perspectives, including also on challenging topics such as preventive measures and vaccination.
It is only through the development of the human being, the deepening of interpersonal relationships and assistance, as well as the transformation of our relationship with the world, that the tasks posed by the pandemic can be solved. Because the COVID-19 pandemic has not developed independently of the ever-increasing human intervention in the life of the earth, right down into the world of microorganisms.
The relationship with the animal world has entered our consciousness as a burning issue, as has the preservation of forests and an agriculture that makes the soil healthy again. Cosmologically, the pandemic occurred in a constellation that Rudolf Steiner described very precisely 100 years ago in connection with pandemics. COVID-19 has made people painfully aware of their intimate connection with nature and the cosmos.
4 | International Annual Conference 2021 Medicine today can solve many problems, but it can also be the cause or contributory cause of fatal developments: pharmaceutical residues in our waters, mountains of waste left behind by medical consumables, the energy consumption of medical facilities, or antibiotic resistance are raising the question of an eco- logical turnaround in medicine among more and more people. Anthroposophic Medicine can and should be actively involved in this.
The now widespread idea that there can only be comprehensive health if all areas of social, economic and ecological life are looked at together (“One Health”) shows how capable Anthroposophic Medicine is of connecting to the current situation. In this context, the transdisciplinary cooperation between medicine, agriculture and education and the collaboration between the older and younger generations is of particular importance. We eagerly await corresponding guest contributions at our conference in this respect.
With this prospect, we have our eye on three centenary anniversaries, namely of the anthroposophic hospital impulse with the founding of the clinical and therapeutic institutes in Arlesheim and Stuttgart in 1921, of anthroposophic pharmacy with the founding of Weleda in Arlesheim in 1921, and of eurythmy therapy with the eurythmy therapy course given by Rudolf Steiner in 1921.
We look forward to seeing participants from all “possible” parts of world again and to many new encounters.
Matthias Girke, Georg Soldner, Rolf Heine
In preparation for the conference, we recommend the Rudolf Steiner’s cycle Harmony of the Creative Word, GA 230, particularly lectures 9–12.
