Eurythmy in English

Master Eurythmy in English

The Master's program Eurythmy in English is aimed at eurythmists who are looking for a next step in their career, who wish to extend their eurythmical skills, challenge themselves creatively and professionally, and deepen their knowledge and experience of research. There are two pathways, one in the education/social field, and the other in eurythmy therapy.

 

Master Eurythmy Education/Social Art

Join other engaged eurythmy professionals working all over the world, expanding your own skills and building a network of creative exchange. You will meet experienced guest teachers who will share their research with you, guided by course carriers/mentors Shaina Stoehr, Coralee Frederickson and Magali Muller-Peddinghaus. Your eurythmy questions and practice are the subject of your research activity, and assignments are carried out in your own professional context.

The next course will begin in September 2023.
