Preventive health care for the young child is fundamentally based on providing a health-giving environment because they rely upon others for nourishment and are yet to develop boundaries from their surroundings. Illness can arise when the child does not have the strength to deal with what enters them.

Artificial intelligence has become a part of every environment within which the young child is united. However children lack discernment of the Sense of Self and Other. By applying rhythmical and natural health-giving applications to the senses and through the skin we can balance the effects of technology and support each child towards wholistic wellbeing.

This hands-on workshop introduces anthroposophic preventative health care applications to the skin that can be carried into the daily rhythms of the classroom and home life. These practises can be adapted and extended to suit the individual, classroom and family needs. They build healthy practises of self-care for life that help to maintain wellbeing while also developing a healthy sense of Self and care for the other.

Each participant will be required to bring some basic equipment such as towels, hot water bottle and lemon to partake in the workshop. The experience can be assistive for participants heading into sleep as well as for those re-aligning with oneself for the day.

This workshop is within the Developing the Self the Developing the World Health and Wellbeing Program: Healing the Impacts of Technology - Care and Development of the Senses which begins in early childhood. Children and adults are supported towards capacities for community-orientated participation in the world. Contact us for additional workshops that support older children and adults.

Anthroposophy, as a science, embraces spiritual, social, emotional, cognitive and physical aspects of the human being.
