On 6 December 2018, I had a conversation with the well-known theologian and psychoanalyst about the nature of illness and healing, both with regard to the individual and to society.

Eugen Drewermann is a German theologian, psychotherapist, author and former Roman Catholic priest. He is best known for combining theology with depth psychology, for his critical engagement with Catholic dogma, and for his public advocacy of a more non-violent and humane understanding of Christianity.

On 20 February 2019, I spoke with the renowned Tibetan scholar Chamtrul Rinpoche at Atelier 8 in Cologne.

Chamtrul Rinpoche, also known as Chamtrul Rinpoche Lobsang Gyatso, is a Tibetan Buddhist teacher in the Nyingma tradition. He is recognised as the reincarnation of the second Chamtrul Rinpoche, received the title of Khenpo after extensive philosophical study, and teaches Buddhist philosophy and practice internationally through lectures, empowerments and Dharma instruction.

Grandmaster Mantak Chia is the founder of the Universal Healing Tao and is the only person to have received the title of Qigong Master of the Year twice from the International Congress of Chinese Medicine and Qi Gong. He teaches worldwide through books and seminars and runs a multi-award-winning healing centre in Thailand.

At both the International Congress of Complementary Medicine and the International Congress of Naturopathy, the latest research findings on cannabis were a recurring topic. Other topics addressed in the video include a medical-philosophical concept from Greece and the “Hevert Collection”, a sixteen-volume compilation of important naturopathic texts. Why German associations of Heilpraktiker do not send delegates to these congresses, and why, among more than 500 participants from 55 nations, no German Heilpraktiker apart from myself were present, is beyond me. Cut off from global networking and developments in alternative medicine, the German Heilpraktiker is thus drifting towards traditionalism and international insignificance in a globally connected world. It does not help to be listed somewhere on paper as a “member” or “cooperation partner” if genuine commitment and presence are lacking.
