Myths and Mysteries - Celtic Spirituality and the Legends of King Arthur
with Bernadette White
The human story as a context of meaning for life.
Celtic Spirituality and the Legends of King Arthur
In our time, young people are increasingly experiencing a loss of meaning in their lives. In this series of online presentations, Bernadette White will look at the temple wisdom, art, and mythologies of ancient and medieval cultures to unfold the hidden currents of history and in particular the role of the ancient Mysteries. We will explore how new spiritual impulses entered the stream of human evolution and how, through these Mystery teachings, the future has been prepared.
Having worked as a class teacher, teacher educator, story-teller, and student of history, Bernadette will show how this unfolding of the human story can give a context of meaning within which we can find direction and hope for our lives. Particular examples will be given from the Steiner school main lessons devoted to ancient mythologies and histories.

The Spirit Of Christmas
with Ebba Bodame
In this fast paced pre-Christmas time, how can we support children to have a Christmas experience beyond the commercial & material outlook?
If we set a steady rhythm in the weeks before Christmas, we can anchor the children in this chaotic time.
We will look at the images of Christmas & see how we can implement them in practical, creative and joyful ways.
Ebba Bodame has decades of experience in Rudolf Steiner early childhood education. Her talks, workshops, Playgroups and training sessions have inspired a generation of parents towards healthy and creative child raising practices that are positive for children and deeply fulfilling for adults.
Ebba will lovingly explore;
- Preparing our children for Christmas through the Advent weeks leading to it.
- How to include the gift of summer into Christmas celebrations.
- Ideas for activities, stories and gift-making, which may free parents and children.
