Ita Wegman: The Path into the Future
Description
A contribution by Peter Selg
This opening lecture for the 150th anniversary of Ita Wegman’s birth invites a festive and at the same time reflective immersion in her life and work. Peter Selg traces how, after Rudolf Steiner’s death, Wegman sought to carry forward the intentions of the School, the conflicts and defamation she encountered, how her impulses were later taken up again and how she was finally rehabilitated. At the same time, it becomes clear how relevant her free, courageous spirit is for the future of the School and the anthroposophical movement.
