We’re thrilled to open registration for a new cycle of Explorations, offering a dynamic and nourishing path into the heart of Waldorf education. This course is designed for anyone seeking personal growth, a deeper understanding of human development, and an introduction to anthroposophy. Through inspiring weekend sessions led by master teachers, you’ll engage with essential themes such as meditative practice, artistic renewal, and child development—while participating in artistic disciplines like speech, singing, eurythmy, and pastel drawing. Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply curious about Waldorf education, this is your invitation to step into a transformative learning experience that begins this fall—no need to wait until next year! 

If you would like to attend but are not able to afford the fees please email Deborah at: [email protected].
