Willi Seiß (2010)

Willi Seiß (born November 12, 1922 in Stuttgart ; † January 25, 2013 ) was a German Christian esotericist and anthroposophist . He founded the Brachenreuthe home school in Überlingen on Lake Constance and published Valentin Tomberg's works.

Life

After Willi Seiß was an active rower in his youth and had started a commercial apprenticeship, he returned to the destroyed Stuttgart after the war years at the age of 22. Instead of graduating from high school as initially planned, he attended Waldorf School . Here he got to know some of the "old" Waldorf teachers, such as Herbert Hahn , Karl Schubert and Max Wolffhügel. During this time he also began to study the works of Rudolf Steiner .

After meeting Karl König , Willi Seiß moved to Camphill , where he dedicated himself in particular to curative educational work with spastic children. After disagreements, he went to Devonshire (southern England) to a home for difficult-to-educate children and adolescents and then returned to Germany. First he took up a position for artistic therapy in the Lower Bad in Bad Liebenzell and then founded the Brachenreuthe home school in 1958, which enabled the Camphill movement to gain a foothold in Germany. Since Willi Seiß was critical of the authoritarian structure of the Camphill movement, he was finally deposed by Karl König.

Willi Seiß got to know the work of Valentin Tomberg through Stefan Lubienski . In order to protect this work from defamation and to make it accessible to the public, he founded the Achamoth publishing house and began to publish the manuscripts.

He then devoted himself to researching the relationship between the chakras from a Christian perspective. Rudolf Steiner had already provided the basis for this, which Valentin Tomberg developed further. Willi Seiß took up this preliminary work and continued it in his main work, the chakra work . In addition to a number of publications, he taught at the Free University of Applied Sciences on Lake Constance (FHaB) in Taisersdorf , which he founded and was renamed Free Hermetic-Christian Study Center on Lake Constance in 2011 .

Over the past few years, Willi Seiß has been researching the intellectual background of Hieronymus Bosch and began to publish the Our Father's course, which Valentin Tomberg held in Holland during the Second World War.

Willi Seiß repeatedly published the results of his own intellectual research. He repeatedly criticized certain developments in the Anthroposophical Society and attempts to falsify Valentin Tomberg's work to a Catholic readership.
