Kairos Institute

Three-year professional training in:

• Artistic Therapies: Drawing, Clay, Painting (pathways for a diploma from iARTE)
• Speech and Drama (guided by the Section for the Performing Arts, Goetheanum)

Faculty:

Our faculty is representative of the global community of anthroposophical doctors, trauma specialists, psychologists, artists, and therapists. Our goal is to prepare students for the unique challenges posed by both individual and collective trauma. Our training will focus on the transformative role of healing educators and therapists across the whole life span: children, adolescents, and adults.

In future years, faculty will include: Michaela Gloeckler, Bernd Ruf, Patrick Stolfo, Iris Sullivan, Agnes Zehnter, and others. We are excited to be collaborating with Education without Borders and continue to offer Bernd Ruf’s courses in Emergency Pedagogy as part of the Kairos Institute.

2022-2023 Sessions:

Kairos students are encouraged to take 3 semesters per year towards the required 1500 synchronous hours. Fall classes are held online on Wednesday evenings and some Saturday afternoons; spring and summer residencies are offered in person in New Hampshire. Classes can be taken individually, or as a pathway towards a diploma from the Medical Section, Goetheanum. This diploma requires participation in Antioch’s Transdisciplinary Studies in Healing Education (TSHE) + Kairos to meet the international standards in artistic therapies. Alternatively, Kairos can transfer life credits of other training when applicable
