AHaSC Conference

Introduction

First of all a big thank you to all who partook in the AHaSC Conference - the feedback has been very positive!  The timely venture of bringing members of the anthroposophic movement together was well received by the group of over 80 delegates.  The conference was used as a platform to bring current projects to the many attendees from the UK, Ireland and parts of Europe, not forgetting one lady who came all the way from Queensland, Australia.  The conference worked as an information exchange where new projects could present there efficacy while the delegates as a whole were consulted on whether anthroposophic health, education and social care is an integrated approach. 
The speakers at the conference delivered different yet integrated messages:

 

Simon Fielding Simon Fielding
Set the scene by; introducing the integrative medicine model as patient centred with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) integration, and encouraging confidence in the anthroposophic approach to treating chronic diseases. See his report

 

Dr Michaela Glöckler
Delved deeper into; whether the anthroposophic approach was integrative and systematic, and whether a strategy could be created.

Brought some laughter to the proceedings by asking everyone to find their inner clown. Not as silly as it may appear, as tackling problems from a creative place ultimately leads to solutions. Now that's magic! See his report
