At Peredur Eurythmy Training we aim to meet the individual needs of each student and support him/her through the process of transformation the training brings about.

The four-year training leads to a Diploma in Eurythmy, fully accredited by the Section for Performing Arts in Dornach. We are now accredtied by the British Accreditation Council (BAC) and can issue visa's for overseas students.
