The training is completed when the agreed course programme has been undertaken and the personal research project has been finished and presented. Towards this , at the end of each year a written and spoken intermediate report must be presented and at the end of the last year a written final report on the work must be handed in. In addition a final presentation of the work will be given in front of the mentors and fellow students. The student will then receive a certificate of completion. Cost of Training :
Registration: A written application for the part-time professional training in Goethean– Anthroposophical natural science together with a curriculum vitae must be sent to the Co-ordination Group of the mentors Conference ( Ruth Mandera, Jan Albert Rispens, Johannes Wirz). An application is possible at any time. With agreement the study could begin immediately. Further information: Ruth Mandera ruth.mandera@onlinehome.de

Training in Goethean-Anthroposophic Natural Science The training is addressed to everyone who wants to deepen their relationship to nature through a broadening of the approach to natural science. Goethe’s scientific methodology enables a way of knowing grounded in phenomenology which leads into a deeper understanding of both outer nature and the human being and the relationship between them. Research results of the Anthroposophical work of Rudolf Steiner can provide an essential help in orientation. The aim of this training is that through an independent and methodologically reflective practice a natural science will be expanded to a Goethean— Anthroposophic scientific methodology. The training lasts for at least three years and is not bound to any particular location
Each student will be supervised by their own personally chosen mentors. Mentors are experienced Goetheanists (with their own research projects, publications, seminar activity etc.) they work together within the mentors conference and at an annual working meeting known as (“Campus auf Zeit”) take part in the research community composed of mentors and students together. For both mentors and students participation in the annual working meeting is obligatory. The training rests on two pillars :
A personal research project lasting a minimum of three years on their own chosen subject agreed in discussion with the mentor
Course and Seminar options
Each student, in discussion with their mentor and according to their own individual interests, capacities and the courses on offer, will select an appropriate training programme. This may include courses within the six monthly published course calendar “Goethean—Anthroposophical nature Study” (see www.anthrobotanik.eu).
The programme for the annual working meeting (3-4 days) of the Research Community of students and mentors will be organised by the mentors conference and embraces the following elements:
Students presentations of final research results
Presentations from current research of both mentors and students (methodological exchange between students and mentors)
A content deepening course for students and /or work on a text
Mentors conference (content rich and organisational parts of the training as well as current work on pedagogical/didactical questions).
The working meeting (Campus auf Zeit) is not in principle bound to either a fixed place or time of year. The time and place will be confirmed following a discussion between the mentors conference and the students.
