What is Holistic Homeschooling – Earthschooling?

By Kristie 8 Comments

By Kristie Burns (Scroll down to the bottom to download the chart) When I think of education, I always remember my favorite story about a wise men who travelled the country teaching people. One day it was announced that this wise man was going to visit a certain village so all the villagers gathered in […]

Surviving Limbo in the Time of COVID-19

By Kristie 2 Comments

Surviving Limbo This was written on March 22nd, 2020 and is written from my own experiences. Things have been changing daily so what I write today may not apply tomorrow.

Book Review: In the Dark

By Kristie Leave a Comment

EMFs, Artificial Light, and Jason Bawden-Smith’s “In The Dark” By Catherine de Long  at https://iamfortytwo.video.blog/ Electromagnetic pollution is an issue near and dear to my heart.  Literally.  My own approximately five month experience with a “smart” meter was a nightmare.   I had terrible heart palpitations when I was standing next to it while washing dishes.  […]

Connecting with Children Through Literature

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Seeing Lois Lowry speak last night with my two daughters was an experience I will never forget. But it wasn’t simply because she is a famous author and writes award-winning books. The experience was special to me because Lois Lowry was my first introduction to modern teenage fiction and represents a special bond I continue […]

A Sensory Meditation Room For Adults & Children

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 […]

Is There Something You Should Be Doing?

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Is there something you feel you “should” be doing? Why do you feel that way? Recently I was reminded of how important it is to ask that question. We have always left our backyard “natural” but made sure to cultivate and mow the front yard so the neighbors would not be upset. There are regulations in […]

Steiner and Sleep

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

This wonderful passage by Steiner is my Inner Work meditation for this week… I came across some wonderful inspirations as I was researching this week and I wanted to share one with you – this is about sleep. I am always struggling with getting enough sleep. As a mother, teacher, and healer I know how […]

Focusing on Home Life By Rahima Baldwin Dancy

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

You, as a parent, are your child’s first teacher, and your home is the where the most living and learning take place. This is true whether your child is home with you full-time or enrolled full- or part-time in child care, preschool, or kindergarten. It is also true regardless of your standard of living. Whether […]

How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

By thebearthinstitute 4 Comments

The other night I was watching The Colbert Report and saw a very funny interview that Steven Colbert did with the head of the Sierra Club. For those who are not familiar with The Colbert Report it is a “fake news” show with the host pretending to be an extreme conservative who reports on Liberal and […]

First Grade Readiness – Are We Asking the Right Questions?

By thebearthinstitute 4 Comments

Looking back on my children’s education I can honestly say that the question, “When are they ready for first grade?” was one of the hardest issues I had to deal with during their entire educational career. But why did I struggle so much with this question and why is it the most popular question we […]
