Novalis Organon

Mission

The Mission of Novalis Organon is to provide students with a medical education and orientation unlike any other. A medical education that is based in the Samuel Hahnemanns system of Heilkunst and that of Rudolf Steiners work in Anthroposophy and Wilhelm Reichs in Orgonomic Medicine.

In association with the Hahnemann College for Heilkunst Novalis Organon aims to provide the holistic health care student with the real tools an actual road map and orientation of health so that you know where to start and which modality you are going to use to approach any condition. You will learn that there are actual objective goals of therapy. You will learn not only what they are but how to faccilitate them.

We are less concerned with titles here at Novalis Organon we want each student to be able to show mastery of the subjects. Therefore we rely on the European Guild system using the Magistar designation for our graduates. In the Academic world the Ph.D or Doctor is the higest designation but the Magistar had to prove actual mastery through apprentice journeymen and Mastery route. Whereas the Doctorate just has to prove academic indoctrination as a Master you must prove your expertise by doing. In medicine that would be the ability to cure rather than to supress and palliate.

Steven R Decker

Chancellor Hahnemann College for Heilkunst & Novalis Organon

Steven Decker is a scholar par excellence, who has dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge and its dissemination.

He has spent the last 25 years immersing himself in the works of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Rudolf Steiner and Wilhelm Reich, among many others. His University studies in Germany led him into a deep appreciation of the works and life of Goethe and later into an extensive study of his scientific writings. It was in this context that his discovery of the writings of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann took place.

He realized, in studying the original works of Dr. Hahnemann in German, that these works formed a critical part of a dynamic system of thought applied to medicine, but that they had been misunderstood and mistranslated. His intensive work and retranslations of Hahnemann's writings have yielded new insights into their meaning and have shown the prevailing confusion in traditional homeopathic writings and teachings. Because of his deep appreciation for, and understanding of, the German language in the context and times in which Dr. Hahnemann was lived and wrote, his translation of Hahnemann's works, and in particular his Interlinear Extended Organon, has been hailed by the homeopathic community as the most brilliant rendering of Hahnemann's genius. All of this work has opened a perspective on what Coleridge called the "Dynamic System," which has had many contributors since the inception of the modern scientific period. Beholding them all as a unity constituting a single coherent system of thought has been his constant endeavor over the last quarter century. This Dynamic System is the key to understanding homeopathy and Hahnemann's complete medical system. In fact, what has emerged is an entire subterranean Western medical system, founded on the blueprint laid down by Dr. Hahnemann. The results of these ongoing investigations is published in The Dynamic Legacy, a book written in collaboration with Rudi Verspoor. He has developed the curriculum based on the study of anthropologic, physiological, and biological therapeutics governed by an anthroposophic and orgonomic orientation. A native Californian, he resides in Santa Barbara.
