Autumn

Seasonal Rhythms: The Melancholic Autumn

By thebearthinstitute 2 Comments

Autumn has always been my favorite time of year. During the months of Autumn I feel more easily grounded, balanced and at peace than I do all year. I never really thought about why that was until I learned about the temperaments. Now it makes a lot of sense. Autumn is the time when the […]

Michaelmas Inspirations

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

If you are celebrating Michaelmas with children you may enjoy some of these inspirations from our classroom albums. The following ideas are from our classrooms and Earthschooling member classrooms. Michaelmas is celebrated on September 29. Our featured picture this week is of two puppets. One is a dragon and one is a horse. They can […]

Three Apple Harvest Activities

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Today* for our EarthSchooling Enrichment class we made apple-pickers, told the apple star story and made apple crisp! All the fruit on the lower branches has been snacked away by Sofi and her friends so we had to reach a little farther into the tree 🙂 Making the apple pickers and using them was everyone’s favorite! […]

The Four Temperaments in Rhythm of the Home

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

I wrote these four articles for Rhythm of the Home Magazine. They are nice little vignettes about the temperaments that we wrote that explore in a unique and seasonal manner. Note that the original links to the online magazine are broken and we have not been provided with new links to our articles so we […]

My Favorite Detox Diet for Adults and Kids

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Every change of season I do a detox. Sometimes I do a juice fast, sometimes I use a lot of herbs, sometimes I do other kinds of detoxes. However, for the next ten days I am doing my favorite detox diet. I almost feel guilty doing it because it is so easy. When someone says […]

Waldorf-inspired Synthetic-hybrid Acorn-thingamabobs

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

We have a well supplied arts and crafts room at the house – mostly supplied with Waldorf & natural supplies like beeswax and paper and watercolor paper, block crayons, chalk, felt, wool roving. However, I also have an entire file tower of “synthetic” supplies for various crafts Sofi and her friends find in magazines or […]

Watercolor & Meditation with The Middle Grades

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

  (originally posted on old BLOG 10/10/08) As winter approaches the kids (mine and the ones who come for Waldorf Enrichment) have been both more meditative in many ways but also more physically energetic! So we have been outdoors a lot but when we come in their favorite activities seem to be painting and bread-making. […]

My Favorite Acorn Craft

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

As you all know we have a million acorns in our front yard (yes, even after sending out over 1000 of them to friends online). So in my quest for more acorn crafts I came across a wonderfully simple and fun craft to make with the acorns. I have to admit this kept us occupied […]

Pumpkin Smoothie for Balance & Nutrition

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Pumpkin Smoothies are one of my favorite autumn treats and the best part of them is that they are super healthy as well! They are filled with vitamins, minerals and even protein and calcium. When you drink a pumpkin smoothie you are helping your body balance in so many ways. A smoothie can even be […]

Little Owl Boy Story for October

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

We love this October story! It is “spooky” but in a unique way and has a lesson to share as well. It also gives insight into Native American culture. LONG ago, out on the wide prairie, there was an Indian camp, and on the edge of the camp was a tepee, in which lived a […]

Easy Healthy Homemade Pumpkin Pie

By thebearthinstitute Leave a Comment

Every year somebody asks me to publish this recipe again. Ever since I discovered it my kids don’t even like the “regular” pumkin pie anymore! This is SOOOOO easy and tastes like a pumpkin pie with a thin crust – the recipe actually makes its own crust. Hope this helps your life be less hectic […]
