Children on the Way to Courage
Description
A contribution by Karin Michael
Karin Michael describes how primordial images from embryology – a protective envelope and an uprighting line – serve as medicines against childhood fear. Through consciously shaped fairy tales, rhythmic games and the strengthening of the etheric body, adults can help children develop bodily security and courage of soul in a fragile world.
A contribution by Karin Michael to the figure-puppetry encounter weekend in January 2026 at the Goetheanum.
