<div>Hello friends... <br/> <br/>I'm researching various teacher training programs and looking for some feedback. <br/> <br/>I have applied to the Eugene Waldorf teacher training program and am wondering if any of you have experience with the training program there or know someone who has gone through it? <br/> <br/>I looked in to the Rudolf Steiner college in Sacramento but in my research of the surrounding area, I don't feel the "culture" would make my lifestyle and I'd be unhappy living in the Sac area. However, I haven't completly ruled RSC out. <br/> <br/>any input on this would be fantastic!! hugs!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Waldorfgnomes.tribe.net">Gnomes Gnomes Gnomes</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>So I am moving to LA for a few years and I am looking for a Waldorf Hebrew homeschooling group similar to the one I am leaving here in Michigan. We still learn about anthroposophy and eurythmy and apply a basic Waldorf homeschooling curriculum ( courtesy Barbra Dewey ) but have added some Jewish folk tails and traditions to the mix. <br/>Anyone? <br/>Tu'</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Waldorfgnomes.tribe.net">Gnomes Gnomes Gnomes</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Just wanted to say hello. I am new to tribe, and so am new here too! My husband and I are raising our 5 yr old granddaughter, Chloe. Her mother is a Waldorf alum, and Chloe will go to 1st grade next year. i am a nurse, and a business owner. PaganChild is a homebased business specializing in Waldorf related and inspired wares for children and their grownups. A shameless plug i know, but it can be hard to find some items, so if you are looking for anything in particular, let me know. I have been sourcing Waldorf items for many years - if I don't have it, I can get it or tell you who does have it. <br/>Enough of that - I am glad to know you all are here,and will look forward to readig your posts too1 <br/>Blessings, Star</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Waldorfgnomes.tribe.net">Gnomes Gnomes Gnomes</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Are you interested in understanding Anthroposophy or Spiritual Science in a practical way? Do you enjoy dynamic conversations with people who are creative, intelligent and interested in your contribution? <br/> <br/>A new group, spear-headed by a couple of Waldorf alum and some questing individuals, has been forming in Portland, Oregon around the questions of how Anthroposophy compares and relates to other ideas- philosophy, spirituality, religion, economics, social activism, individual and social development, and relationships. We are attempting to form our study group in a new way and are looking for people who are open to the experience. Self-titled as the Portland Youth Discussion Group, we invite people who are youthful in mind, body or spirit to join us in bi-weekly meetings where we share a meal, an artistic, musical or physical activity, followed by discussion. We rotate conversation facilitators at each meeting and our readings change, based on the interest of the facilitator. We are very interested in expanding our circle and in exploring more people’s passions, ideas and interests. Our next meeting will take place at 7:00PM on Monday, December 18. For more information, please contact Leslie at leslielal@yahoo.com. <br/> <br/>You can also check-out our Yahoo!

<div>I too was wondering about this very thing. I have endometriosis and thus have had a hard time getting a degree. My major was child development and I learned a lot in school but I basically just had to not even pay attention to my grades because they were partially based on attendance and sometimes I can't even walk for a couple days each month. I just absorbed what I could while I was there but my classes seemed so backwords in thier teaching methods. I would spend most of my time debating with my professers. I recently found out about Rudolf Stiener and it really makes a lot of sense to me. It's similar to what my natural philosophy was. Emotional, Physical, Spiritual, Intelectual education is the only true education. It requires smaller classes and more attention then factory daycare (I have worked in huge centers and thats why I went back to school, it disgusted me.) I have finally decided that I really want to start a home daycare again and I want to take classes from home in this type of education to get some kind of degree. I have heard of workshops and thats fine but I want to finish my education and get a degree if it's possible. Maybe you could say a person has to attend a certain number of workshops along with the home studies from books and tapes, or online... I know Waldorf doesn't care to teach with computers for children but what about adults?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Waldorfgnomes.tribe.net">Gnomes Gnomes Gnomes</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>my daughter, Iuliana, is going to begin Waldorf kindergarten soon. she came to us via adoption last fall. i'm a librarian and pretty heavily invested in books and reading so was surprised to learn that reading is not encouraged and developed in children until 3rd grade and after. my older daughter began reading at 3 years of age and i've carried this conception in my mind that reading at a young age is a good thing if a child loves the world of books and reading. i support the idea of encounter and experience as initial steps of knowledge but am wondering whether developing reading skills in Waldorf-schooled children is really a no-no and what experiences you may have had in that area either as a parent or as a child or as a teacher. <br/>blessings, owlyn</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Waldorfgnomes.tribe.net">Gnomes Gnomes Gnomes</a> - 6 replies </div>

<div>i have put two of my three boys through waldorf preschool. my eight year old went into public school afterward, and because of his waldorf environment, has an exceptional learning attitude. his teachers always tell me they are amazed by his cognative skills. i believe the simple and gentle rituals of the waldorf day have given him an ability to sit and absorb/assimilate lessons into his conciousness rather than to just repeat what the teacher said. <br/> <br/>my youngest is still at the preschool and at three years old is already able to focus and engage in quiet things such as basket weaving, sewing and the monday bread making. he also loves to chase the ducks and divert the creek. <br/> <br/>thank you kim. <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Waldorfgnomes.tribe.net">Gnomes Gnomes Gnomes</a> - 0 replies </div>
