What our Students Say

 

As a teacher who has done a fair amount of Waldorf related PD, I can honestly say this was one of the most practical, hands on and useful workshops I remember being involved in. I found Raphaela’s delivery to be highly accessible and insightful, and I look forward to implementing what I’ve learnt in the classroom.” JG

 

This course was exactly what I needed, as though it was created just for me. I found Raphaela’s presentation inspiring, easy to follow, and thorough. I very much recommend this
course for those who think they cannot draw on a blackboard.
