There are certain fundamental ideas that sustain and enliven Waldorf Education. These essential ideas — a spiritual understanding of child development, the threefold nature of the human being, the inner work of the teacher, the Waldorf curriculum, and more — will be the focus of our work together.
This introductory course will encourage active study and conversation in an effort to show how these essential ideas give rise in a most practical way to an education that is both artistic and healing.
