After the ACESTA’s AGM on October 22nd, from the evening of the 22nd to the 25th October 2026, the first Autumn School of the new Section for Therapeutic Education and Inclusive Social Development will take place, also at Emerson.

The programme is now available online:

This first Autumn School will be on a large scale with many different Sections actively collaborating and sharing their work: Medicine, the performing and the Visual Arts, the Social Sciences, the Humanities, Education, as well as the General Section and of course, the new Section for Therapeutic Education and Inclusive Social Development.

Existing and successful, as well as new and small initiatives, will be represented.

All who are active as therapists, carers, artists, medics, teachers, researchers, and social entrepreneurs are welcome, as are members of the Anthroposophical Society or the School of Spiritual Science who would like to give this new endeavour a warm start.

You do not have to be a member of the School, but to have an interest in this work and a questioning and open mind.

Retired practitioners are more than welcome: your experience and wisdom are needed.

The event will take place in the newly refurbished and opened Ruskin building and it will be possible to see the new Ashdown School and both its new and adapted buildings and gardens. Local outings to Tudeley Church with its magnificent Chagall windows, and local institutions will be possible on Sunday afternoon.
