Overview
Focusing on the developmental needs of the Class 1 and Class 2 child, participants will deepen their understanding of the Steiner/Waldorf curriculum through artistic practice, collaborative learning, and shared community life.
At the heart of the retreat is the cultivation of imagination—an essential capacity for every Steiner/Waldorf teacher. Through painting, drawing, modelling, storytelling, music, movement, drama, and festival work, participants will experience how artistic activity awakens creativity, strengthens presence, and enriches educational practice.
