Biographical Counselling Training
What is Biography Work? The experiences we have in our lives are both unique and universal. We share many common human experiences, and yet how we piece them together, how we respond to and live through them, and find meaning in them is unique to each of us. Biography Work offers an opportunity to explore the extraordinary and sacred panorama that is your life so that you can take a step back from just being in it to becoming a witness to it. This process opens our mind, heart and will to new possibilities.
Our development doesn’t stop when we reach adulthood – even though we have stopped growing physically much of us keep developing. Who we are at 42 feels very different to who we were at 27. Capacities become available to us at different stages of our lives, and ideally, as we grow and mature, our consciousness, wisdom, understanding and meaning for life also grows.

Biography Work
Biography is a new and growing field in anthroposophy with roots that go back to the late 1970s in Holland, inspired by the work of Bernard Lievegoed and Gudrun Burkhard in Brazil. Many countries have biography training programs with graduates working in careers such as counselling, social work, coaching, organizational development, adult education, art therapy, as well as other healing professions.
Biography provides a holistic approach to our lives that helps us to integrate our life experiences so we are not held by the past, but can move into the future with the wisdom inherent in our lives.
Biography work is a task of our time. Growing numbers of people are searching for deeper meaning in their lives, and asking questions such as “Who am I?” and “What is the purpose of my life?” People are longing to re-define their own identity from the roles they are in, to a deeper sense of themselves from the inside.
While biography work takes place with individual counseling or coaching, it also takes the form of workshops and group sessions. This way of working ha
