This is a fairly recent discovery of mine — Rudolf Steiner Audio.
I’ve already downloaded a couple of the lectures that have been recorded by a man named Dale Brunsvold and they are fabulous. I’ve mentioned before that for reading I prefer Steiner’s books. The conversational, repetitive style of some of the lectures bothers me a [...]

Today’s feature is Shelley from Waldorf Mama.
Shelley is a Waldorf mother somewhere in Texas and her posts are quite inspiring. Many of her entries are handwork related (which satisfies the knitter in me) and her photos [...]

Oh, so sorry, dear readers, once again I have been neglectful. This week I am teaching an 8th grade creative writing block at a nearby Waldorf school. Writing and language arts are my specialty, so I’m really enjoying it. It’s so much fun to study writing and then watch as the students’ writing improves.

I try to stick to just posting reviews on this site, but it feels appropriate to recognize the Holy Nights here somehow. I just posted about a way to recognize the Holy Nights on my home blog, Home School Life. Check it out.

There are a handful of Waldorf websites that I check pretty regularly. They represent a diverse range of information — from the esoteric to the hands-on practical. Here are my favorites. Please post yours in the comments.
1. Waldorf World – Back in the day this site was called Bob and Nancy’s. Bob and Nancy are still there behind the [...]

This morning as I clicked through my blogroll I read a review of a book about curative education in the Waldorf movement written by Carrie at The Parenting Passageway that I really wanted to share with you here. It made me think that it would be great to post a list of Waldorf blogs. I love reading about the real experiences [...]
