Arscura
School for Living Art receives recognition for Biography Training
In the first week of June, with the Venus occultation in
progress, Dorothy LeBaron and Regine Kurek attended the International Trainers
Forum (ITF) meeting at the Goetheanum in Dornach. The ITF is a newly formed (2003) body of professionals
working in the field of biography who in conjunction with the School of
Spiritual Science have developed guidelines for professional biography
trainings.
One year ago the Arscura curriculum was presented to the ITF
for recognition and this June that recognition was granted. With the recognition also comes a commitment on the part of
Arscura to become a permanent member of the ITF. This requires attendance at
the annual three-day meetings, being co-responsible for furthering the quality
and development of the biography impulse based on anthroposophy worldwide,
sharing the task of further research, and supporting and mentoring new
trainings.
At this point recognition has been granted to biography
trainings in Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, Japan, Israel, Great Britain,
Brazil, Australia, USA and Canada.
Every other year this group of people also organizes a
Worldwide Biography Conference in which several hundred people attend from all
corners of the world. The next Conference will take place June 27th
to 30th 2013 at Emerson College, UK.
The Arscura biography training was established by Regine
Kurek in 1997 as Life-as-Art Biography Studies. An integrated artistic process
in each term of the course makes the Arscura biography program unique. This
methodology of working out of an art process makes a contribution to other
trainings that are more oriented towards the field of counseling.
Through this conscious connection to a worldwide
organization we all grow stronger and our Canadian initiative out of
Anthroposophy becomes more visible.
