A Sensory Meditation Room For Adults & Children

January 18, 2016 by thebearthinstitute 1 Comment

Note: The computerized aspect of this experience is optional. You can use whatever tools you want to create your own sensory meditation room. Mine actually does not look like this anymore. I change it every month or so…and electronics are not always involved. I love experimenting and trying new things! As Waldorf inspired parents & teachers we […]

And what do you mean – strong science […]

Living My Life in Costume

September 11, 2009 by thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

August 7, 2009 by thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

When I attended the Waldorf parent-child class with my eldest daughter (now almost 14! WOW) I immediately fell in love with the playstands. I wanted one so badly! I was so envious of my friend who had a husband who was so good at making them he even donated a couple to a new initiative! […]
