The teachers and students I know who are part of the Waldorf education are some of the most authentic, intelligent, committed people I have come to know. Waldorf schools set an example of child-centered education allowing the seeds within each student to grow and flourish with the nurturing patience of their teachers. Happiest 100th Anniversary Waldorf School! May you continue to inspire what educational principles should be.

The film "Learn to Change the World" shows people from around the world who work on the big pedagogical tasks of our time based on Waldorf/Steiner pedagogy. ...

THINK BEFORE YOU TREAT!
I'd like to bring a very important and SCARY point to your attention.
I love, absolutely adore, Halloween. Working with children for nearly 19 years makes this holiday delightful. I encourage the focus of this time of year to be about the stories, the creativity of costumes, the surprises, the giggles! Definitely NOT the candy!
You are parents and educators, aunts, uncles, and members of communities with beautiful children. Take a moment to be an advocate for these little ones (And yourself too! We all know how hard it is to pass a candy bowl full of minis and not take a few!)
I could lecture you about the adverse effects of sugars, food dyes, harmful ingredients and the nasty corporations setting up this holiday to become a health nightmare for those lil' princesss and pirates.
Instead I invite you, do your own research. Get creative! Enjoy the delights of this holiday and when your door knocks with the little paw of a cat costume offer up fun and joyful alternatives to cancer-causing-candies. Take time to intelligently choose things like TATTOOS, CRAFTS, PLANT-BASED TREATS, MASKS, BOOKS and all sorts of goulash traditions that are not centered around sugar!
For a few resources:

Pictured are my very own creations. And yes, I enjoy these TREATS with children!
Fingers made of dates.
A favorite meal of 'withces hair' made from spaghetti squash, bug-shaped pasta with pesto (or guts), bloody tomato sauce, fried tofu bones.
A creepy antipasti platter.
And of course the Raven's nest of deviled eggs!

And certainly call me if you want more resources or recipes.
May your Trick-or-Treating be spooky and not SCARY.

Proud to be a student at MUIH!!

Despite research linking nutritious diets to disease prevention, food receives little attention in most practices. But a shift is slowly happening, doctors say.

I love this time of year!
