REDISCOVERING THE WISDOM OF THE BODY: TRIA PRINCIPIA

Nov 5-8, 2026
Mount Madonna Center in California

Unlock hidden keys to clinical diagnosis by recovering the art of physical examination, revealing insights into individual constitutions, disease processes, and therapeutic indications.

New thinking.
Real healing.

In year one of this newly-formed program, we will be oriented around the theme—

Rediscovering the Wisdom of the Body: Tria Principia

On the beautiful and restorative grounds of Mount Madonna Center, overlooking Monterrey Bay, we will gather to explore the ideas, imaginations, and implications of the Tria Principia. We will enjoy artistic activity, workshops, dialogue walks, and presentations, as well as plenty of time to explore the beauty of the surrounding area.

We will, together, work toward rediscovering the wisdom of the body.

After the retreat, we will return to our practices, hopefully restored, reinspired, and carrying practical insights and approaches to best help our patients and communities.

Registration will be opening in April. Space is limited. Early registration is recommended.

Already looking forward to Year Two & Three?

Year Two: Uncovering the Secrets of Nature: The Four Elements (2027)

Year Three: Reclaiming Our Wholeness: The Cosmic Human Being (2028)

The Fall Retreat won’t be your only chance to participate!

Beginning in November, PAAM will be hosting six monthly webinars, concluding in April 2027. Each webinar will highlight anthroposophic, integrative, functional and holistic approaches to prescribing and treating common conditions like allergy, asthma and anxiety.

You’ll be able to register by session or by season; whatever best meets your training goals and work-life balance!

"Every meeting, discussion and gathering I attended created an 'awe' that blew my mind. The lectures were extremely helpful and timely. It gave me a lot of support and hope for the work we do. There have been many suggestions, exercises and opportunities to learn and self-develop at the Anthroposophic Medical Training that I would not have found in any other 'scientific meetings'."
