The child stands at the heart of Be Balanced. During the years of growth, the foundations for a lifetime are being shaped: breathing patterns, posture, speech, jaw development, chewing habits, swallowing, sleep, mobility, perception, confidence, and emotional regulation. A child does not develop in isolated professional categories. A child develops as a whole human being. That is why children deserve guidance that see the whole picture.
This program brings together dentosophy, functional dentistry, myofunctional awareness, speech therapy, movement, nutritional consciousness, education, and an anthroposophically inspired view of the human being into one living whole.
The focus is not isolated symptom correction. The focus is the unfolding of the individual—physically, emotionally, mentally, socially, and spiritually.
**Be Balanced is an invitation to move beyond simply fixing people
and instead awaken their own capacity for development, resilience, and renewal.**

The Association for Anthroposophic Psychology is now offering a certification program in Anthroposophic Psychotherapy. The program is designed for licensed clinicians who graduated from AAP's 3-Year Foundation studies or who are currently enrolled in AAP's Foundation program or a similar IFAPA-approved program. One of our goals is to build a community of clinicians working out of anthroposophic psychology. Together, we can discover how to apply an anthroposophic understanding of the human being in the psychotherapeutic encounter.

New Chapter in Medical Education The Physicians' Fall Retreat
Modern medicine rarely gives physicians the time to cultivate some of the capacities that matter most: the ability to observe more deeply, think more broadly, and see the human being more completely.
These capacities can’t be downloaded or outsourced. They develop through experience.
That is why we have reimagined the Physicians’ Fall Retreat, November 5-8, 2026, at Mount Madonna Center in California.
This new 3½-day immersive experience is built around the kind of learning that changes how we practice by changing how we see. Through observation, artistic work, dialogue, and practical application, participants strengthen ways of seeing and thinking that continue to shape patient care long after the retreat ends.
Designed to fit today's professional lives while preserving the richness of in-person learning, this is a completely new educational experience.
While this retreat is grounded in Anthroposophic Medicine, you don’t need previous experience in it. This year's program features a newly developed curriculum, a new educational format, and new opportunities for learning and reflective practice.
To Register for the Fall Retreat, click HERE.
IMPORTANT: Participation is not limited strictly to physicians. It is intended for licensed medical prescribers. Practitioners who do not have medical prescribing authority would not be eligible to attend.

27th International Study Days for Anthroposophic Arts Therapies
'Wisdom of the Heart' - From the Maturing of the Soul on the Threshold of Life to the Birth of the Spirit
7-10 January 2027 at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland
Dear colleagues worldwide!
We warmly invite you to join us in January 2027 for the fourth and final part of the art therapy conferences on the theme of the heart and the seventh year! We began this journey in 2024 with the theme ‘The Heart Awakens – on the etheric forces of the heart in the therapeutic encounter’ and continued in 2025 with ‘Listening to the Heart – on perceiving the etheric forces of the heart in one’s own life story’. Last year, our journey was guided by the theme ‘Harmonies of the Heart – Courage to Be Oneself’. Now it is a matter of rounding off this arc from the age of 63 onwards, whilst at the same time opening it up. We are devoting ourselves to questions of the wisdom of the heart, extending beyond the threshold into the spiritual world. What wisdom can we seek and find in a heart that has come alive? What significance do processes that have become unbalanced in geriatric care hold for a person’s future life story and karma? What might be important in palliative care to build a true bridge to the spiritual world – which we sense, or perhaps hear glimpses of, in our everyday therapeutic practice?
It is certain that art therapies – whether music, colour and form, or words – touch and nourish our clients. We perceive this directly in therapy. But how, specifically, does art-therapeutic work alter the interplay within the structure of the ageing person’s being? Do we have the courage to listen to the end of physical, earthly life, and to the person’s continued existence in the world-ether? How do we practise serenity and find meaning in our therapeutic work in geriatrics, palliative care, and end-of-life care?
Three pairs of presenters, each presenting a case study on these key themes, can offer insight and inspiration into this valuable work. The working groups invite you to engage more deeply with individual topics.
We look forward to working together, to lively, inspiring exchanges, and to the gentle mutual encouragement of our therapeutic practice and our humanity.
With warm regards Laura Piffaretti, Esther Böttcher, Linda Teipen, Katja Schultz, Katrin Sauerland, Marieke Schagen-van Houts
