Abstract:

This report is based on a keynote presentation given at the “Evolving Science 2015” Conference at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland, September/October 2015. This keynote was chosen to address the theme “Science in Society” by exemplifying how something that was developed out of spiritual science can be brought into a practical therapeutic setting and the challenges involved in doing so. (The keynote also contained a Power Point presentation with video clips that are referenced here.) The presentation covered three main aspects of a project to develop a colour/light therapy for children with autism:
- A description of the work
- How the ideas arose through the meditative approach of spiritual scientific research
- Bringing the project to the wider world
