Potential Trainees start by exploring their own Biography in our Foundation module: Take Charge – Reflect on your life journey. This introduces Biography Work in an experiential way, including aspects of the underlying philosophy of Anthroposophy. It uses our Biography Log-Book as the main text, supplemented by lectures and activities, and small group sharing. Over 3 years.
Trainees complete 12 Modules and 3 practical Projects. For each Module, we provide a Resource Guide, which includes recorded Lectures, Readings, and Activities.
These prepare trainees for the module-related online real-time sessions, which include small group-work in guided groups of 3 to 5 students. Our group guides come from around the world, including Australia, Germany, India, and Taiwan.
The practical Projects are supported by regular training sessions, ongoing communication, and annual presentations. Our approach acknowledges cultural diversity, the desire for individual development and the impulse of service to others. At the conclusion of this Training Program, Trainees attain a Diploma in Biographical Consultancy.
After successful completion of the first year, a Certificate in Biographical Studies is awarded. At the end of the second year, a Certificate in Advanced Biographical Studies.
