Nourishing Narratives:
Deepening Our Relationship with Archetypes
in Our Circle and Story Work
With Keynote Speaker, Lynn Turner
Universal truths live within archetypes. Waldorf Early Childhood educators draw inspiration from this wellspring of knowledge. Expanding our perspective of the archetypes allows us to create and nurture a community of belonging for our children, our families, and ourselves.
Join us this summer as we find our way back to our roots and develop a new and evolving North American perspective of this global and cosmic wisdom. Living into the archetypes, we will explore the rich diversity of stories and the joyful movement of circle.
Program Leaders: Diane David and Anna Rainville. Singing with Christiaan Boele, Speech with Christine Burke, Music with Andrea Pronto, and Eurythmy with Karen Gallagher.
