Open to all–and especially relevant for new and prospective Waldorf community members (teachers, parents, grandparents, staff, board members) and lovers of education.

Our popular Waldorf Weekend workshop is designed to provide an in-depth and experiential survey of the basis and the basics of Waldorf Education. In addition to exploring the Waldorf curriculum, your workshop will include a discussion of Rudolf Steiner’s insights in human development and a look into the anthroposophical underpinnings of the Waldorf impulse. You’ll enjoy hands-on artistic activities such as music, movement, and drawing, and there’ll be plenty of time for questions and answers. Our Waldorf Weekends are a most memorable—and fun!—learning experience.

As of June 27, only one spot remains. If registration fills, you are welcome to add your name to our waiting list, as cancellations often occur.
