Waldorf Early Childhood: What? Why? How? Practical Aspects and Theory

The faculty consists of four very experienced teachers. Dorit Winter will guide conversation based on short excerpts of text by Rudolf Steiner. Glenda Monasch will offer movement to enliven the imagination- stories, verses, songs and poems for the young child to bring the world alive imaginatively through simple eurythmy elements. Marianne Alsop will work with the group on activities and story telling for children, focusing on rhythm, repetition and respect as the basis for protecting the life forces of the young child. And for those who can stay after lunch, Chris Guilfoil will offer painting as soul nourishment for caregivers, including practical advice on painting with children, and consideration of how children’s paintings metamorphoses as childhood progresses. $195 (or $245 if painting included)
