With great empathy and directness, Peter Selg recounts the moving story of Ita Wegman and her relationship with Rudolf Steiner, highlighting their roles in the development of anthroposophic medicine and the Medical Section of the School for Spiritual Science. Steiner patiently awaited the arrival of Wegman, who would guide the healing mission of spiritual science into medicine. In 1920, she established a medical clinic in Arlesheim, where she and Steiner collaborated both medically and spiritually, revealing a unique karmic relationship. The second lecture emphasizes anthroposophic curative education as the heart of Wegman's Medical Section, focusing on a commitment to children facing severe challenges, rooted in spiritual insight and a Christian-religious impulse. Dr. Selg illustrates Wegman's dedication to forming a community of physicians who worked according to Steiner's indications and in Christ's spirit, caring for her colleagues and awakening them to their destinies. She also resisted the oppressive forces of Nazi Germany, heeding Steiner's warning about the future responsibilities of the Anthroposophical Society. At the core of this narrative is the profound inner struggle to make love responsible.
