Acesta Annual General Meeting 2022 was held at Nutley Hall, East Sussex

The previous international BD and organic Social Farming Conference, organised in collaboration between the STAG (the Dornach based Social Therapy Group), and ACESTA (the anthroposophical care, education and social therapy association) took place at Emerson College UK in 2017. A follow up conference felt timely and important.

Conference call on Zoom

We humans share the lower (body) senses and the middle (soul) senses with the animals and in a primitive way, even with the plants. The higher (spirit) senses are unique to human beings. They are what allow people to perceive the utterly invisible: the space between our own I and that of the Other. The body and soul senses are by now well recognized and described in mainstream medical/therapeutic literature. The senses of the spirit are not, even though everybody has experiences through these sense modalities. To find descriptions of these perceptions, we must turn to philosophy, theology, and the arts. There we find investigations into the essentials of the human experience. The conference was held on the Zoom platform. Many talks and sessions were recorded for the convenience of participants in other time zones. Two of the conference workshops were streamed live from the Threefold Educational Center campus in Chestnut Ridge, NY. Registered conference attendees were invited to attend these workshops in person.

We warmly invited anyone connected with the medical-therapeutic movement (including social therapy) to join us at the 2021 conference, which we particularly looked forward to after the previous year’s cancellation.
