Anthroposophical therapeutic transnationality Brazil-Switzerland: a decolonial Bildung?

Abstract: More than half of the Integrative and Complementary Practices (PICs) offered in the SUS are foreign. Imported from other continents, they were shaped in different cultures with different conceptions of body, health, disease and healing. In the flow of these therapies, Anthroposophy presents a transnationality that, a priori, absorbed European therapeutic practices, adapting them to cultural and climatic issues, but also produced and exported therapies originally Brazilian to Europe, in an opposite movement, from the South to the Global North. Promoter of a bildung in individuals, Anthroposophy seeks to forge itself as a therapeutic motto. This article reflects on this therapeutic transnationality that carries a bildung project and whether it would be decolonial, breaking with European logic and prestige

Key words:
transnationality; bildung; therapy; anthroposophy; decolonial
