New Pathways toward the Art and Science of Healing, the SteinerBooks 2012 Spiritual Research Seminar

 

Friday, March 9, 6:00pm - Saturday, March 10, 5:00pm
Kimmel Center, New York University
60 Washington Square South
New York City, New York

The focus of the SteinerBooks Spring 2012 Seminar—Medicine and Healing Body, Soul & Spirit: New Pathways toward the Art and Science of Healing—deals with medicine in its spiritual aspects and implications and, as the title suggests, fresh ways and perspectives toward realizing a more holistic and spiritual art and science of healing. We have a strong lineup of speakers this year, including four medical doctors presenting fresh perspectives on anthroposophically extended medicine and its role and future in working holistically with the human body, soul, and spirit. The talks will be accessible to nonspecialists interested in anthroposophic medicine, while healthcare professionals will find much food for thought and inspiration for their work.

7:10 Edward R. Smith
—"The Temple Sleep of the Rich Young Ruler: The Story and Why"
This topic deals with healing in the most profound of all ways, that represented by the Christ impulse and its descent to us through the raising of Lazarus and the power of the Gospel of John which he wrote.
8:15 Armin Huseman, MD
—"The Musical Structure of the Human Body"
The Experience of music is the experience of the spiritual principles, out of which the soal builds up the body in the embryonal period. Grown up, these forces get free an appear in the mind as principles of music. The human body is a "symphony" in which we live all day.

9:00 Ross Rentea, MD
—"Rhythms and Substances in Healing"
From the time of early anthroposophic researchers to recent experiments, rhythmical phenomena in substances have been demonstrated that shake the foundations of materialistic science. Following these leads new paths to healing are made possible.
10:00 Rachel Ross—Eurythmy
10:45 Andrea Rentea, MD
—"Rhythmical Treatments in Women's Health"
Rudolf Steiner gave significant insights that make true healing of women's health concerns in body, soul and spirit possible. We will explore these little known indications, their practical applications and their spiritual scientific foundations.
11:30 Question period with Ross and Andrea
1:15 Dr. Willis Miller—Piano
1:30 Mark Kamsler, MD
—"Rhythms of Childhood Development Leading to Lifelong Health"
Healthy rhythms and the care for children in their early years has a deep impact on the physical and spiritual health of the child. Moreover, Rudolf Steiner often points out how the environment, attitudes and attention to the spiritual sensitivities of the child can also have a profound effect on health in later adult life.
2:45 Rachel Ross—Eurthmy
3:00 Armin Huseman, MD
—"Reincarnation, Karma, and Human Physiology"
Hearing is much more than what happens in the ear. It is an activity of the whole man, specially the limbs and the metabolic system are involved. "Music is the enlightened structure of the will" (Schoppenhauer). In the light of Anthroposophy, the reality of music emerges as the experience after death in the spiritual world, when we compose our karma and build up the body for the next life on Earth.
