Upcoming Workshops and Events

Karl-Heinz Finke will introduce a supportive collegial process and lead a demonstration of the process in a practice session.
We hope that participants will form Inter-vision groups and a network of collegial support can be built.
The Association for Holistic Biography Work is hosting this Webinar and will help to coordinate the development of the emerging network.
This workshop is designed for Biography Consultants, and is open to health practitioners with some familiarity with Anthroposophy and/or Biography Work.

Michaela Glöcker has developed a unique approach to Biography Work over many years of research and practical experience.
We aim to introduce her approach to participants in our trainings, to our colleagues, and to an English-speaking audience, by organising five workshops, some in conjunction with International Online Biography Gatherings.
After each event, we have documented her approach in a Study Guides, with direct access to her video-recorded Lectures. The 5 Parts of her approach are then available from our Web Shop
This Year Michaela's contribution is part of our annual International Online Biography Gathering in cooperation with the Association for Holistic Biography Work (India). And it is also the Fifth and final workshop.
Here are the Study Guides from parts 1 to 4 listed —
[ 1 ]  Aspects of Biography Work
[ 2 ] The Etheric Organisation
[ 3 ] The Astral Organisation
[ 4 ] The I-Organisatioin

The 2026 November Topic is The Quinta Essentia.
In Michaela Glöckler’s Five-Star Archetype for Biography Work, the human being is approached through five aspects, each opening a doorway to health and healing. Four of these — the Physical-body, Etheric-body, Astral-body and I-organisation — describe how the human being takes hold of earthly existence. At their centre stands the fifth: the Quinta-Essentia. The name reaches back to Aristotle’s Pemptē Ousia — in Latin Quinta-Essentia, the Fifth Essence — the aether that, unlike the four earthly elements, is eternal, incorruptible and unchanging; Rudolf Steiner takes up the same term in GA227 (1923) and GA35 (1908). In Glöckler’s 5-Star Model it names the purely spiritual core of the human being: not a further ‘body’, but the essential being from which free Thinking, Feeling and Willing arise, and through which the ‘I’ integrates and heals the whole. Where the I-Organisation is the earthly instrument of identity, the Quinta-Essentia points beyond it — to the supersensible capacities in which a person’s spiritual individuality lives, and through which the archetype is completed.
