This forum represents more than 25 training schools for biographical work professionals present on 5 continents\u2014from East, West, North and South. The ITF represents Professional Biography Trainings through working collaboration with the School of Spiritual Science at the Goetheanum within the General Anthroposophical Section, Dornach, Switzerland where the ITF annual meetings are generally held. Otherwise, they are held at the venue of the biennial Worldwide Biography Conference (WBC). Its diverse, intergenerational, and intercultural practice includes the promotion of annual meetings between representatives of the schools, their recognition and certification, as well as the sharing of research and mentoring that preserve, revitalize, and expand professional work with Human Biography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this meeting, four new schools in Argentina, Spain, Portugal and Russia were recognized by the ITF. All are members of the School of Spiritual Science and meditated on the esoteric content of the 6th lesson of the First Class, pondering their personal path and professional practice in the face of contemporary challenges and the preservation of human dignity. They reaffirmed their commitment, trust, discretion, and courage to dedicate themselves to human development in this profession, which originates in Anthroposophy and Rudolf Steiner\u2019s teachings about how karma orders the lives of individuals and society as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biographywork.global\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Biography Work Global<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Image<\/strong> Biography Work Global<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cuenca, Spain.
