«Teatro Delusio»
Life in the shadow of the spotlight and
the glittering world of illusion
Welcome!
The title of this year’s conference, «…and growing, root me in existence», is the
last line of a verse from Rudolf Steiner’s Soul Calendar. It tells the story of the development of human being and cosmos, of I and world, of the growing autonomy
of the I and its dedication to the present. The title line could also be construed as
the primal scene of curative education of social therapy, in which the transformation of the world and the development of the human being merge into a common
formative gesture.
In the lectures and workshops we will work with the theme of I development from
multiple perspectives, because, after all, the effectiveness of all curative educational or social therapeutic work depends on whether it succeeds in awakening
and helping to strengthen the child’s, youth’s or adult’s inner impulse toward
self-development.
In working through the lectures in Steiner’s Curative Education Course, the 4th
lecture stands out, and its themes will be the motifs for our workshops and lectures.
It has been more than 90 years since Rudolf Steiner held this course in Dornach
for a small group of 21 people. Out of their strength of initiative, a worldwide
movement has come into being that can now be found in 50 countries. This work
is still developing, and receives its motivation and impetus through the individual, communal and societal needs for a culture of development, inclusion and
sharing.
This international conference is organized by the «Council for Curative Education
and Social Therapy». In it, people across national borders regularly work together
on how to realize concrete proposals and institutions, and on the fundamental
question of how curative education and social therapy, which were developed
out of a spiritual, anthroposophical view of the human being, can continue to
develop their own special contribution to today’s cultural life and society.
We look forward to your presence and participation, and hope that this conference will be an important event in our movement: days of continuing education
and learning, meetings with people from all over the world, and a celebratory
gathering!
Mysteriously to feel within
The quickening of the treasured past
With selfhood newly risen
This shall arousing forces of the world
Pour itself into my life‘s outer work
And growing, root me in existence
Rudolf Steiner, Soul Calender, Week 34

«…the truly godly human beings»
In meeting the «riddle of the child»,
I, as teacher of children with special
needs, become a riddle myself. The
fluctuation between the point and the
periphery is the key gesture in meeting other people and ourselves.
The other person, whether child or
adult, can easily be experienced as
puzzling. To understand ourselves
as riddles requires a change in perspective. We will include personal examples while exchanging ideas about
mystification and demystification in
karmic meetings in our life and work.

consequences for her or his future?
Questions of individuality and identity, social roles and networks will be
discussed.

Dealing with dilemmas in curative
education and social therapy
Dilemmas arise when we have two
possible courses of action in daily
life, both of which lead to an undesirable outcome. We will work with the
question of whether curative education and social therapeutic work are
always connected to opposing areas
of conflict and whether, therefore, dilemmas are a part of our work.
Such areas of conflict might be: selfdetermination versus care, freedom
versus dependence, or need versus
autonomy. With input, practical examples and conversation, we will
address and discuss possible solutions in dealing with these challenges. Dr. Andreas Fischer is a curative
educator, and teacher, supervisor,

Developing the individual and
building community
Besides their orientation to the anthroposophic view of humanity, the
distinctiveness of anthroposophic
lifesharing communities consists
of their work-life union. However,
against the backdrop of individual
development, these institutions are
facing new challenges: How does individual development look today? What
does this mean for community building? Do we need a new consciousness, new thinking? How do people
with special needs see themselves
and their life in these communities?
How can new impulses grow, both out
of the experiences of the last decades
and out of the insights of anthroposophy? These are the questions we will
work with, in connection with the daily kick-off presentations.
