Social and Family Interations
with Barbara Baldwin
For children with additional needs, and their siblings
How do we help children coping with sensory overload & the changing situations in the environment? How do we consider the siblings of children in families with additional needs? During the talk Barbara will also speak about the Mignon Family Retreat she has held for several years in other countries & is open to holding again in Australia. These retreats have been very successful, wholesome, healing, enjoyable & a practical hands-on educational family experience. Retreats are designed & practised so the learning can continue in family life.
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.
Her innovative and refreshingly modern approach is accessible and practical.

Deepening the Experience of Christmas
with Bernadette White
Bernadette will lead us in exploring how symbolism in art and story can reveal the deeper spiritual background of Christmas. We will look at works of art from Neolithic sun symbols to Celtic Crosses, and from icons to Medieval and Renaissance paintings to discover their universal symbolic meaning and so gain a deeper understanding of the Christmas Festival. As we prepare for Christmas, this work can inspire us to find a deeper inner connection to Christmas and to discover meaningful creative ways of celebrating the festival in our own homes.
