What you will learn in this course

This eurythmy therapy course provides eurythmy therapists, doctors, and students with valuable insights into the application and effects of specific sound gestures, as well as the corresponding leg movements and jumps. Eurythmists and people with a general interest in eurythmy are also cordially invited.

Through a combination of demonstrations, personal practice, and discussions on experiences gathered throughout the week, participants will explore the therapeutic aspects of eurythmy in all their richness.

What do eurythmy therapists learn in this course? (Examples)

  • The gentle W-movements of the legs and arms: How these movements help individuals reconnect deeply with their bodies, promoting flexibility, fluidity, and a sense of renewal.
  • The R-movement for weight issues and sluggish digestion: How R can help lighten stagnation and, in children, clear blocked nasal passages.
  • Leg movements and jumps with H: We will discuss how they vary depending on whether the stomach is tense, whether more inner form-building strength is needed for obesity, or whether young children resist toilet training and prefer nappies.
  • The protective, enveloping quality of B: How B can be used to treat incontinence in elderly patients and which leg movements support this process.
  • Structuring the will through P: How this movement strengthens body awareness, why P is used for treating incontinence in children, and how the corresponding leg movements are applied.

What do doctors learn in this course?

  • The relationship between movement and physiological processes: For example, how B and P regulate warmth and the sense of self, or how R and D support individuals who struggle to generate internal warmth for digestion.
  • Indications for various eurythmy therapy exercises: Which consonants are particularly effective for incontinence, digestive disorders, heart conditions, or addiction?
  • Integrating eurythmy therapy into medical practice: How doctors can introduce their patients to eurythmy therapy and establish a productive collaboration with eurythmy therapists.

Why is this course also suitable for eurythmists and eurythmy students?

  • This course offers an in-depth exploration of leg movements and jumps, expanding participants' practical repertoire.
  • The techniques taught enhance body awareness, can support pedagogical processes, and enrich artistic expression.
  • The interdisciplinary exchange opens new perspectives: eurythmists benefit from practical case studies and creative approaches from eurythmy therapy.
  • Since both theoretical and practical aspects are covered, the course provides an excellent foundation for future professional training in this field.

Why is the course also open to those with little experience in eurythmy?

  • Practical exercises and clear explanations make the course accessible to beginners.
  • Participants experience how specific movements enhance body awareness and directly influence etheric qualities, organs, and areas in need of support.
  • The interactive approach, including demonstrations, group work, and discussions, allows newcomers to ask questions and gain hands-on experience.
  • Even without prior knowledge, participants develop a deep understanding of the therapeutic potential and application of eurythmy.

Conclusion

This course provides not only theoretical knowledge but also a profound experience of the transformative forces of eurythmy therapy. We will develop concrete tools and support one another in using eurythmy therapy to promote health and inner balance.

For eurythmy therapists, the course offers an opportunity to deepen their skills; for doctors, an introduction to the therapeutic effects of eurythmic movement; and for eurythmists, a way to expand their professional perspective.

General participants will gain a fundamental introduction to the potential of eurythmy therapy – an aspect of eurythmy that is rarely covered in public courses.
