I really like Donna from Christopherus. ...Hi Leah! I really like Donna from Christopherus. I always have this disclaimer that I put out there with Waldorf education - that it can seem too "Christian" for secular folks and too secular for Christians. There's also a side to it called "anthroposophy" which is a bit odd. But the general curriculum really speaks to me, even if I don't always agree with every 'reason' behind their pedagogy. I feel it is rich and beautiful and has worked well for our family. We do supplement with other things quite a lot and I plan to write about that over the summer. :) But Donna's audio lectures are my favorite Waldorf resource out there. And she has loads of free info on her website.rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000794959264304528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512686951576132673.post-53845331270107622752016-04-27T22:50:07.432-05:002016-04-27T22:50:07.432-05:00You mentioned having enrolled in a course on Waldo...You mentioned having enrolled in a course on Waldorf. I plan to homeschool my little one and am very drawn to the Waldorf pedagogy. Could you please recommend a source for classes, and are they available online?

I know how very satisfying it is to get into a good groove. In the year of Eleni we totally lost rhythm. We were more juggling or sprinting all the time. Now I have been thinking about finding a new rhythm but it is strange because the two kids need me so little. I struggle to find ways to connect with them other than through school. What does it look like to "Waldorf" big kids, I want to know?

I wanted our days to be wide open to whatever possibilities, needs, or opportunities arose, whether that was meeting a friend for lunch with my kids in tow, creating an enormous mess doing crafts, or snuggling in together, reading as many books as we could. "<br /><br />"I was working so hard, and yet it felt like I was getting nothing accomplished."<br /><br />This is exactly how I feel. I home school my 2 daughters and often don't feel like we are getting to do as much as we should or I want to do or they want to do. You posted something about rhythm some time last spring and I have been thinking about it since. I really appreciate this post and I'm going to do some reading and thinking about our home school/life rhythm. I think our family could really benefit from mixing our "in breath" and "out breath" activities, rather than trying to squash all of the in breath in before we lose our focus and then spend the rest of the day on out breath. <br /><br />So- thanks for sharing. :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06917994521712979609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512686951576132673.post-23085951772864862182016-02-10T14:37:41.072-06:002016-02-10T14:37:41.072-06:00Thanks so much! <3Thanks so much! <3rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000794959264304528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512686951576132673.post-55665824793599739562016-02-10T14:36:42.576-06:002016-02-10T14:36:42.576-06:00It has been such a lifesaver for us!
