“I” and “us”: finding our purpose as individuals and communities
In an increasingly fragmented and traumatised world, how do the healing aspects of Steiner education contribute to wellbeing, health and a meaningful life? How do we find and harmonise our personal purpose (“I”) with the purpose of our community?
Steiner’s founding vision for education was the harmonising of the human being: bringing the eternal core of each student as an individual into harmony with their bodily nature which lives in community. At each stage of child and adolescent development our task as teachers is to educate in ways that support and strengthen this inner harmony as a foundation for a balanced and meaningful life. Our aim is to harness the transformative power of Steiner education’s core dynamic between courageous thinking (professional skill), imagination (personal creative artistry) and responsible action to build a future of balance and belonging, for our students and ourselves.
Curative Education in Early Childhood: Online workshop with Robyn Brown
Presented by Steiner Early Childhood Australia
“At the heart of Waldorf Education lies an approach that seeks to meet each child on his or her own terms, and yet the new and greater challenges presented by many children today lie outside the traditional training of most teachers.”
How can we meet the diverse needs of the children who come to us today, bringing obstacles and challenges we may feel ill-equipped to meet? How can we support all our children to develop into well-rounded individuals and maintain calmer, more productive classrooms?
SECA is delighted to be able to offer an online training with Robyn Brown, kindergarten and class teacher, founder of Mulberry Farm Center for Curative Education in California, and author of ‘A Practical Guide to Curative Education -The Ladder of the Seven Life Processes.’
