Description
A contribution by Karin Michael and Vesna Forštnerič Lesjak
Signatures of a Great Medicine and the Dual Nature of the Etheric Body
The video presents a new “blue book” that asks what medicine and the earth fundamentally need today. From an anthroposophical perspective, it is about life force, the etheric body and “quiet healing” – beginning already in childhood, for example through Waldorf morning verses. Using the dandelion as a medicinal and preparation plant, it shows how living thinking, plant observation and medicine come together and open up a completely new understanding of health, exhaustion and regeneration.
A contribution by Karin Michael and Vesna Forštnerič Lesjak to the International Annual Conference 2025 of the Medical Section at the Goetheanum.
