Sonja Zausch

Member of the Leadership Team

After completing qualifications as baker, dancer and eurythmist, and after years of work in dance and eurythmy, Sonja Zausch found her way into curative education and social therapy. Her journey to curative education and social therapy began in 2004 at the Kaspar Hauser Foundation in Berlin-Pankow as a member of the management team developing anthroposophically oriented educational programs for people with assistance needs (including social eurythmy), for employees of the foundation (including a basic anthroposophical study year) and for all citizens in the district with artistic courses and cultural programs.

This led to a cooperation with the Emil Molt Academy, a vocational school for Waldorf education that was being founded in Berlin. Here Sonja Zausch developed the curricula for anthroposophically oriented training in social assistance and curative education. From 2010–2019, she worked at Emil Molt Academy as a teacher, training supervisor, internship mentor, and in school leadership.

As part of a master’s degree course at the Alanus Hochschule Alfter, she has worked and published on group eurythmy in the field of adult education, including social therapy.

Since then, she has been particularly interested in non-verbal communication processes and organisational processes that take place in motion. She designs inclusive seminars, as well as for people with and without special needs, as a process facilitator for inclusive social developments from an anthroposophical perspective. This is based on the method of the theory of C. Otto Scharmer and the Gross National Happiness according to Ha Vinh Tho.

In addition to her responsibilities as part of the leadership team of the Section and her independent work, she is also active in the German federal association for anthroposophic social services, Anthropoi Bundesverband. From October 2019 to 2023, she served as deputy head of the project In guter Gesellschaft – Inklusion leben (In Good Company – Living Inclusion). She is also the coordinator for the education department and a member of the education council.
