A Goetheanistic View of the Plant World

Ross Rentea, MD, from the Lili Kolisko Institute will discuss a  Goetheanistic View of the Plant World. The concept of metamorphosis was introduced by the German scientist and poet Goethe (19^th century) and then greatly expanded by Rudolf Steiner, PhD (20^th century). New observations and subsequent experimentations have elucidated more of the practical importance of this discovery for the better understanding of the laws of the organic world as well as for the production of new herbal remedies.
