Awakening in the Temple of Spirit:
Orienting to our Spiritual Home
A First Class Conference of the School of Spiritual Science
for Professionals who work Psychotherapeutically
September 12 (15:00) - September 15 (12:15), 2026
Goetheanum, Dornach, Switzerland
Blue Cards Required
Once we have crossed the threshold into the spiritual world, we must orient ourselves to this new world, to this new form of existence. We must navigate many reversals. Where we were once passive recipients, we must now become active builders. Where we were once active out of our own self-will, we must now become receptive to the deeds and speech of the hierarchies. We stand on a vista encompassing both past and future, both subject and object, and must find our stance in the middle. From the middle space, the present-moment feeling ourselves within spirit, we begin to discover and explore our home in spirit. We meet our higher self and become both perceptive and active in this new world. We learn to stand on a spiritual foundation stone and perceive a world filled with the activity of many beings including the Gods who create the very foundation of our existence, our bodily nature. With true meditative forces, we create a temple which enables us to commune with spirit.
Our First Class conference for psychotherapists will work with Class Lessons 10 and 11. These lessons do not speak directly of the guardian, but rather our “I” begins to orient itself in the spiritual world. Class Lesson 10 brings a 12-fold mantram which helps us orient to the experience of earth, stars, deeds of the spirits, and speech of the Gods, utilizing body-free thinking, feeling, and willing. In Class Lesson 11, we discover from a spiritual perspective with the help of our angel how our threefold physical form created by the Gods allows us to build a temple for our spirit, enabling us to be, to live, and to will.
How does this new perspective, grounded in real spiritual experience and knowledge, impact us and our work with our fellow human beings? How can our newfound orientation in spirit contribute to healing for our clients? How can our knowledge of the temple of the body, created for us by the hierarchies, inform our healing work?
The conference is participatory, with small group work. The conference will include Class Lessons, conversations, and eurythmy.
Interested First Class members from healing professions are welcome to attend, especially psychotherapists and all professionals who work in a psychotherapeutic way with clients. Please bring your School of Spiritual Science blue card for admittance. The conference will be offered in the English language, with additional reading of the mantras in German.
