Nourishing Narratives: Deepening the Relationship with Archetypes in the Circle and Story Work

Early Childhood Teacher Rejuvenation with the Keynote Speaker Lynn Turner

Universal truths live within archetypes. Waldorf Early Childhood educators draw inspiration from this wellspring of knowledge. Expanding the perspective of the archetypes allows to create and nurture a community of belonging for children, families, and ourselves.

Come this summer to find the way back to roots and develop a new and evolving North American perspective of this global and cosmic wisdom. Living into the archetypes, the rich diversity of stories and the joyful movement of circle will be explored.

Program Leaders: Diane David and Anna Rainville.
Singing with Christiaan Boele, speech with Christine Burke, music with Andrea Pronto, and eurythmy with Karen Gallagher.
