The 12 Constitutional Exercises
Certificate and Deepening Course 2026

What this course is about

We already know a lot about the exercises. Now it is about experiencing their effects in practice – especially the inner resonance:

• What changes through the exercises in perception, feeling, thinking, the body, and in our experience of light and warmth?
• And how does this become inner confidence?
• When and how do I apply an exercise in a meaningful way – for myself and later also for others?

Participation requirement

Only people who took part in the Winter Course, or who worked through the 12 exercises with Theodor at Quellhof in February, can participate.

We expect all participants to take an active part at least until the summer break, i.e. participation in at least 75% of the main meetings and group meetings, and presenting two exercises.

You can also join if you are not aiming for an official certificate.

Structure

• Start: Tuesday, 10 March, 19:00 CET (An earlier time is not possible for organisational reasons.)
• Main meetings: 8 shared online meetings from 10 March to 29 June, at intervals of two to three weeks.
• In between:
  • individual practice with a practice diary
  • one practice group meeting to deepen the exercises together and support one another
  • personal lessons with the teachers for those presenting at the next meeting
  • personal preparation with the teachers for the presenters before their presentation
  • documentation of the learning experience in the individual worksheet in the online course

Course idea:
We go through the 12 exercises twice in total – first individually, then in paired combinations and by guiding each other with partners:

Main meetings: like a small festival

In each main meeting there is a clear sequence that gives a sense of safety:

1. Arriving and tuning in
   We greet each other, notice who is there, and do one exercise to tune in together.
2. Short presentations of the exercises
   The four presenters each show one exercise (about 5–7 minutes). We join in, listen inwardly (Nachlauschen), and share what we experienced.
3. Artistic eurythmy to refresh
   After this intensive therapeutic part, we move into movement with refreshing artistic eurythmy.
4. Short outlook on the next exercises
   We tune in to the next exercises and to supporting the presenters.

So that the presenters feel confident, there is additional support:

• In the week before the main meeting, an extra one-to-one meeting with Theodor and – if she is there – with Christiane, to connect even more intimately with “their” exercise and receive deepening impulses.
• On the day of the main meeting, we also meet about 30 minutes earlier to tune in and do final fine-tuning before the whole group joins.

This creates an atmosphere of trust, joy, and also a certain sense of celebration.

Practice group

Between the main meetings there is a shared practice meeting:

• The people who will show an exercise at the next main meeting guide “their” exercise.
• The others join in and give feedback on what they experienced while listening inwardly (Nachlauschen).

If you feel hesitant about showing something in a larger circle: that is normal. What matters is not being “perfect” – what matters is that you hear other people’s resonance experiences and thus expand your field of experience.

Study groups on your own initiative

If you also want to study more (specialist articles, comparisons with other 12-fold systems, e.g. worldviews, zodiac etc.), that is welcome – but it is voluntary.

Our recommendation is to focus first fully on practice and experience. Deepening studies can be placed well in the summer period.

If a study group forms, we are happy to accompany and support you.

Individual work, after-effect, and documentation

During the course we ask you to practise the four suggested exercises daily.

• Blocks 1-3: individually for yourself alone, recording your own experience
• Blocks 4-6: individually and also with a partner from the course, guiding each other. Recording the guided person’s experience.
• Block 7: Guiding an exercise with a friend. Recording their experience in the after-effect.

Our practice log developed especially for this is an effective help: you note – organised by areas of perception – in a few keywords what you observe after practising. In this way you see what repeats and what changes, and gradually develop a fine relationship to inner listening (Nachlauschen).

In the days before the main meeting you will be asked to summarise your experiences briefly:

• We have prepared a worksheet in the online course.
• You summarise in a few words what you observed while listening inwardly (Nachlauschen) on the levels you documented in the log.
• This helps you to organise your experience inwardly once again.
• And it helps us to see what is happening in the course and how you are progressing.

In addition, we ask you to upload your practice logs. They are important as a responsible basis in case there are later questions about the certificate.

Summer practice and certificate

In the summer period (July to October) there are no meetings. Instead, there is a practice phase in which you work independently with third parties, guide the exercises, practise inner listening (Nachlauschen), and record your experiences in the practice log.

For the certificate you need at least the following practical experience i:

• You have carried out the exercises regularly with 2 to 5 people (children, partner, friends) and guided them while doing so.
• With each person you have worked for at least 4 weeks.
• At least 1 session per week, maximum 3.
• For the certificate you need at least 16 documented sessions.

Final module – online and possibly in person

The final module in October takes place online on 30 and 31 October and essentially includes a presentation about your practical experience in the summer. We use the two weeks before that for our preparation.

If several people would like this, we can alternatively also consider an in-person meeting (e.g. in Germany) for this group. We decide that together shortly before the summer break. Then there is still enough time to organise it.
