THE SPEECH OF THE EMBRYO

WITH DR. JAAP VAN DER WAL M.D., Ph.D.

* SEPTEMBER 4TH - 6TH 2009 *Dr. Jaap van der Wal

This workshop will explore human prenatal development and how biology expresses the essence of human spiritual development and unfoldment. This workshop is an effort to synthesise a modern scientific understanding of embryology and spiritual principles. Healthcare practitioners have been urged to comprehend embryological forces at work because the same forces that formed the body are continuously at work throughout life, carrying the blueprint of Health into manifestation at every moment. Course notes with diagrams will be available. Lectures and discussions will be alternated with practical exercises such as form drawing and body movement. This seminar is open to all health care practitioners.

Topics covered will include:

  • The creating and creative principles and forces that work through the human being
  • Understanding human prenatal development by means of a Goethean approach
  • Dynamics of conception, incarnation and individuation
  • The orientation of the human body in space
  • Stages of embryological development
  • Gestures of growth and development as human behaviour and expression
  • The macrocosm in the microcosm of bodily organisation
  • The human body as an equilibrium of polarities
  • Man/woman as the adult embryo
