期待已久的校園，再次響起孩子們的笑聲，和師生共同學習的身影，經過三個月多月的全國同心抗疫，克服萬難持續透過線上教學和線下關懷，守護孩子的健康作息，很感恩我們並肩地正向防疫，珍惜著得來不易的生活美好。更感恩的是，各位夥伴在防疫期間，排除萬難地參與2021年問心台灣人智學研討會。您們的支持與愛是我們繼續向前的動力！
問心台灣人智學研討會舉辦至今十幾年來沒有任何一次間斷，即便曾在風雨交加的颱風夜晚仍澆不息你我在日月潭教師會館相遇的火花。今年因著疫情嚴峻，首次改成線上會議方式進行。在四天研討會期間，我們穿透了螢幕與重重的電子設備可能阻隔你我心的距離，共感著彼此的所想所思，反而讓我們更為貼近彼此。
此次的研討會主題【回應時間之靈的挑戰-在疫情的衝擊下，我們如何喚醒人智學的療癒力量】，感謝人智醫學社群、華德福教育社群和BD農業社群的朋友們，為我們帶來他們一年來努力不懈地奮鬥的心聲，展讀台灣華德福社群行動者群像，有持續推動實驗教育大學的實驗高教創新創發、高中第四年社會學習年、推動土地信託使農田公有化能永續經營、BD農場與農夫持續投入與推廣、家長社群組織CSA支持BD農場，也有學校教師透過協同教學將土地工作整合在校內明顯課程與潛在課程中。
人智學健康照護平台整合協會許文婷醫師和葉怡嘉醫師，以【愛在新冠肺炎蔓延時：面對時代課題，從人智學學習與實踐中的探問】為題，和我們分享他們從對人智學醫師的深刻認同，從內在工作和以愛出發的行動，從內部社群的工作到陪伴學校和家長，她們以正向思考和靈性精進實踐直面疫情對醫療帶來的挑戰。她們除了為我們樹立了當代醫療照顧專業工作者的角色典範，也啟發我們去自我探問，如何持續在實體和靈性世界之間、過去和未來之間，主流醫學和人智醫學扮演橋樑。
持續陪伴我們的導師Paul Mackay一連以三個不同的議題，陪著我們一連三天。在【從歐洲經驗來看生機互動農業土地信託之運作狀況】講座時，當與會者談對為目前台灣環境信託政策遇到的困境苦尋方法解套之際，Paul老師鼓勵我們發起社會運動。老師也以【在這特別的期間內，為何我們更應該加入歌德館人智學總會會員】與【如何成為First Class Member- 個人內在之預備】兩場，帶我們走過人智學社群的歷史，看到那是根源於回應時代精神的開創性格，也積極地隨著不同時代課題進行社群演化發展，也見證了這群致力從靈性學習中朝向普世性智慧意識進化的靈性同謀，是發心承諾終其一生為個人、社群和人類整體福祉而奮鬥的。
研討會的第二天，BD 農夫張幼功和許晉田，以及慧宜、文鈞、振欽三位家長分享過去一年推動社區支持型農業的努力歷程，和我們分享他們從土地工作中提煉出來的人生智慧，感動著關照土地的心念也助益到人們，為需要的人帶來療癒的力量。我們遠從埃及來的朋友、也曾在前一屆和我們在日月潭暢談SEKEM組織發展經驗的Angela Hoffman，以【療育今日的生態，邁向明日的農場】精闢的短講，提醒了我們健康的生活從來不是分裂的，我們必須師法BD農夫的精神，如同BD農夫投注於生機互動農法來重新活化農場上的土壤一樣，「生機互動農法能給現今疫情帶來療癒的力量，是提醒我們需要活出完整性、連貫與一致性，和韌性的生活」。
資深校護Dr. Karin Michael在研討會第三天加入我們，在【什麼是追求健康發展時代中，兒童和青少年的需要】分享中，她指出疫情下的停課不停學，持續線上教育已造成了學生缺乏真實經驗和接觸的挑戰性狀態，這促使我們應更加關注華德福教育能為家庭和學校情境創造那些療育力量的可能性。她指出，強化華德福教育的基本原則、遊戲空間和機會、節奏、宗教、唱歌、藝術性活動、每日在自然生活與工作，都是支持兒童和年輕人回復社會情緒性與發展樂觀態度的好方法。
研討會也關注疫情年代對不同發展階段的孩子可能造成的影響，並拋出許多看見與核心課題，包括「如何有意識的科技使用」、「如何從靈性觀點看疫情和疫苗接種」、「BD農耕如何為兒童和青少年帶來療育力量」。在最後的團體討論，夥伴們一同發起了跨校的行動，許諾以一年的時間共同推動。
大會最後回顧片段，感謝婉如如同往年一樣全程參與，也做足了功課，會前回顧了歷屆研討會，並以人智學四體進行統整，顯影問心台灣研討會透過時間堆疊，推進著台灣意識進化所做出的一步一腳印。
問心台灣人智學研討會期勉能扮演華德福教育、農業、人智醫學、特殊教育和綠色銀行推動工作者的對話平台，今年與會的講者和回應人，還有積極參與發起行動計畫的各分組討論夥伴們，都讓我們看見，在各個不同領域或學校社群工作的你我，我們都有著共同的心念和意願，願成為推進社會往更好的方向進化的那個推手。
明年的問心台灣已經訂下時間，在2022.7.29~8.1舉行。祈祝世界平安走過疫情風暴，你我再次在日月潭相見！最後，僅以此次問心台灣有感，而於講師們與參與朋友都不約而同地認同Steiner願意成為一座靈性學習橋樑的承諾，因感動而做的詩句，衷心獻上深深的祝福～～
我願意（張宜玲 作）
我願意
成為那相遇的門檻
讓光明與靜謐的交會
自然到來
讓物質與靈性的相遇
水到渠成
讓謙卑和學習
如樂音流瀉
I Will
Become the threshold of the encounter.
Let the light meet the quiet,
Come naturally.
Let the material meet the spiritual,
It will happen.
Become humble and learn

Dear lecturer：
Thank you for your support and love for the four days of enthusiastic participation. That’s what keeps us going!
2021 Anthroposophy Conference of Taiwan has been more than a decade. This year, we turned this gathering on-line to discovered that instead of blocking the distance between us and the rest of our hearts, the screen and heavy electronic equipment brought us closer together during the post-epidemic period.
In the ACT conference this year, Taiwan’s Waldorf community is striving to promote experimental education universities/liberal universities, Gap Year of social learning, promoting land trust to promote sustainable farming, BD farms and farmers, and CSA, a parent community organization to support BD farms and school faculty incorporate land work into the school curriculum and hidden curriculum.
In the 1st day, Anthroposophical Practitioners from TAMPHC Dr. Wen-Ting Hsu and Dr. I-Chia Yeh presented their profound professional belief and inner works of Love in the Time of COVID 19, their positive thinking and spiritual practices placed as role models responding to the challenges of our time. They enlighten us with a self-reflection question: how to keep an upright position and still a bridge between physical and spiritual world, past and future, mainstream and Anthroposophic Medicine?
Our long-lasting mentor Paul Mackay accompanied us three days with three topics. In <The European Experience of BD Land Trust operation> lecture, when participants raised challenges of the current Land Trust Policy in Taiwan, he encouraged us to initiate a social movement. His two lectures, < During This Special Time, Why We Should Become a Member of the Anthroposophical Society at the Goetheanum
> and <How to Become a First Class Member： Personal Inner Preparation> gave us a clear historical review on development of the Anthroposophical Society and how its member took the initiative stance to respond to the Time Spirit. This is a community of awareness of who I am to become, a life-long spiritual praxis towards cosmic intelligence from individual, community, and humanity dimensions.
On the 2nd day, we learned from pioneering Bio-dynamics land workers, Chin-Tien Hsu, Yu-Kung Chang, and CSA initiator from the parent’s group. Their wisdom of care for land brought healing forces to people. Our friend Angela Hoffman from SEKEM gave a talk on < How can BD Agriculture Bring Healing Forces to the World Pandemic?
>, she reminded us that a healthy life can never develop in separation, we need to think like BD farmers does to practice biodynamic farming and to reinitiate soil life their farm, that is, we need to live a life of unity, coherence and resilience.
Well-experienced school doctor Dr. Karin Michael joined us online on the 3rd day. She contributed her insights on the topic of <What Do Children and Adolescents Need in These Times for a Healthy Development?> Facing the challenges of the lack of real experiences and contacts and the continuation of online education we need to get serious about the healing possibilities of Waldorf education at home and in school more than ever. She pointed out to strengthen the basic principles of Waldorf education, play spaces and opportunities, rhythm, religion, singing, artistic activities, everyday life and work in nature are good ways to support children and young people to recover social-emotionally and to develop optimism.
There have also been many discussions about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic among different developmental stages, and propose big questions like “How to respond to technology applications and use technology with consciousness”, “how we do regard epidemics and vaccination from spiritual perspective”, and “how the BD farming method could bring healing power to children and teenagers”. In the final group discussion, we worked together and initiatives of proactive actions and committed to working out before next year’s gathering.
The conference will be held from the 29 of July and the first of August the next year. We wish the world will be secured and safe from the epidemic, and therefore we will meet again. We cordially invite you to reserve time now for participation and look forward to seeing you next year.
Finally, we would like to present a beautiful poem to portrait the beings of every lecturer to commit themselves to serve as the bridge toward consciousness development. May light be with you~
