- Festivals contribute to growing healthy family culture
- Festivals gather us & deepen our connection with each other
- Celebrating birthdays well, helps the child enter the next year with courage & strength.
Together we will journey through the year gathering the treasures of each seasonal festival.
Ebba will look at the spiritual aspect of each festival and celebration and its expression in children’s lives through rituals, activities, stories and songs.

Our Storied Hearts
with Andrew Hill
Stories speak a language of their own, one that touches our hearts in a way so different from the important needs of our everyday brains. Seeing life through the lens of a story can uplift, clarify and inspire our hearts in the way Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s famous fairy tale for adults The Little Prince puts it, helping us see what’s invisible to the eye. They exemplify the power of imagination at the core of Steiner education.
Stories are therefore a key daily experience for children in a Steiner primary school, and a welcome addition to high school teaching methods. Steiner teachers tell stories from the heart, in person via the spoken word, creating a story presence in the classroom. Each year our Steiner curriculum has recommended stories that are signposts on the journey of human development which each child travels as they grow up. Schools surround their students in living stories from around the world in a nourishing and character-building progression.

Social and Family Interactions
with Barbara Baldwin
As a speech pathologist and special/social educator Barbara has experience in many areas of education, having worked as a teacher/educator, therapist and consultant in the area of special education and inclusion in Waldorf schools in many countries as well as in mainstream public and private education. Over the past 20 years her work has focussed predominantly on developing trainings in Inclusive Education in Australia and various countries in Asia. Through lectures, workshops and seminars she has contributed to a Steiner oriented understanding of special needs throughout life, from early childhood, to integration and inclusion in schools, to transition to work, vocational training and independent living.
Among her special interests are working with the 12 Senses, working with teachers on nurturing an understanding of constitutional polarities and working with parents in appreciating the idiosyncrasies of exceptional children. Her innovative and refreshingly modern approach is accessible and practical.
