Description

A contribution by Adam Blanning

Adam Blanning honours the work of early childhood professionals and emphasises the importance of a welcoming space for children in a world full of tension. He describes an inner, dynamic space of health that oscillates between tension (stress) and healing (etheric forces), similar to heart rate variability. Two poles are decisive for this: fully conscious, loving presence in everyday activity, and inner work on deep spiritual thoughts, which makes freedom possible. This conscious breathing between devotion and inner deepening creates true encounter.

A contribution by Adam Blanning to the World Conference “Kindergarten and Early Childhood” in April 2026 at the Goetheanum.
