The Leonardo da Vinci Principle
And the Role of Medical Practitioners in Making Eurythmy a Counterweight to Technical Development.
March 16 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Eastern Standard Time (-5 GMT)
About the Presentation
Technological advancements from artificial intelligence to virtual reality are profoundly reshaping human perception and consciousness. As Rudolf Steiner warned this increasing entanglement with material technology risks diminishing human autonomy and spiritual awareness.
Yet history shows a parallel development between technology and the arts—a balance embodied by Leonardo da Vinci whose work oscillated between scientific invention and artistic creation. Just as Leonardo’s artistic perception sharpened his technical innovations and vice versa Eurythmy fosters a heightened sensitivity to etheric forces allowing practitioners to counteract the sensory and emotional numbing effects of modern technology.
Medical practitioners in particular play a crucial role in bringing this principle to life. By integrating Eurythmy into their practice they can actively support the cultivation of a holistic human experience helping individuals reconnect with their inner vitality and balance the mechanistic demands of external lifestyles with the profound healing powers of their inner worlds.
This lecture researches the Leonardo da Vinci Principle as a framework for understanding the role of Eurythmy as a vital counterweight to technological development in everyday life and in healing. What steps are necessary to achieve this integration? What potential pitfalls must be avoided?
