About Sculpture Therapy |
Therapeutic modeling and sculpture is a method of therapy for anthroposophic medicine serving for formative growth. By activating the soul forces and enlivening the thinking, feeling, and will, each individual can develop personal recovery. Self-regulation, gaining freedom in everyday life, and stimulation of resources is aimed for. The therapeutic approach is oriented towards action in visual art. By imaginative impulses, body-perception, and emotions forms are developed out of handwork, sculpturing and embossment.
“So, if we seek the laws of sculpture, we must realize that they are in fact the laws of our etheric body. The etheric body is above all a body of forces. Basically, everything in the etheric body is rhythm, a cyclical rhythm of movement or activity, and it has a spatial character only in as far as it inhabits the physical body. Occupying the physical body and extending, as it does, its activity and rhythmical play into this physical body.”
