Course Overview
“If we do not believe within ourselves this deeply rooted feeling that there is something higher than ourselves, we shall never find the strength to evolve into something higher.” – Rudolf Steiner
Anthroposophy is fundamentally a study of the human being, our nature, development and task.
The lens that Rudolf Steiner gives us is the view that we are spiritual beings living a physical existence. To better understand our journey through life he details our life’s phases and the development of our soul capacities, thinking, feeling and willing. In this sense, Anthroposophy is the tangible path of inner development and a spiritual-scientific lifelong study.
For teachers and parents, the course is particularly valuable when we consider the unfolding development of the children in our care, and offers insights into how we reach the growing child at the various stages of their development.
This course is for anyone with an interest in learning about anthroposophy and the foundations of Steiner/Waldorf education and is particularly valuable for all Steiner School support staff, Parents, High School Teachers, and Teaching Assistants.
