The First 100 years and its Crucial Role into the Future

There are many misconceptions about Steiner education, which should not be surprising given that historically, pioneers of new forms of consciousness are usually misunderstood until the rest of the world catches up. This presentation will address some of the more common misconceptions, and show how Rudolf Steiner actually pioneered many of the key defining characteristics of mainstream 21st century education. While he had to use language that was addressed to Europeans at the start of the 20th century, his message was for the whole world 100 years later ie for the 21st century. As Steiner schools grow to be a worldwide movement on every continent, we see Steiner’s vision of education blossoming into a force that will support and sustain our humanity both now and into the future.

This presentation also serves as an introduction to Steiner education for parents and teachers who are new to a Steiner school.

The human story as a context of meaning for life.

Ancient Mystery Wisdom, Ancient India and Persia

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. We begin with Ancient India and Persia and continue through 2025 with Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, the Middle Ages and beyond.

This workshop will look at how we can make positive choices around technology in our homes as so many precious family activities are being threatened by the commercialisation of childhood.

We will look at creating a family culture of the things that are fun and relaxing for everyone (including parents) - the ‘golden moments’ of family life.

The workshop will cover how to maintain connection with nature, connection with friends, connection with family and connection with self in the developmental years of childhood.

The intention of the workshop is to help parents find a well balanced family life where children grow up with vital life skills such as good communication, creativity, responsibility and purpose.
