Students (November 18th)

The program highlights with each class the growth and changes that they are going through. This includes puberty and the physical and emotional changes that go hand in hand over this time. The content is age appropriate for each class. It aims to deepen the young person’s healthy relationship to themselves and encourages greater understanding, mutual respect and compassion for the other members of their class and the school community.

Caregivers/Parents (November 15th)

The content is help to recognise the relevant depth and progression anthroposophy brings to this important aspect of life and the responsibility of community in raising children and working together to promote individual wellbeing.

We look at how and when we work with children and adolescents to bring the understanding of sexuality and gender in relation to where they are in their consciousness. This brings harmony between the evolving body and inner experiences that sets the ground for healthy adult experience.

The talk will cover the themes of the content brought to the students and some of the main issues confronting child health and wellbeing in current times, with examples of how we can counter the unbalancing effects. We also address how to understand gender differences and similarities that both limit or free us and the contribution and struggles of the changing social structures around gender and sexuality affecting us all.

Professional Development (November 18th)

This two-part online workshop offers a plan towards preventative healthcare and the treatment of illness with self-managed at-home care, and professional anthroposophic therapies.

Health and illness will be discussed from the anthroposophic point of view. This will include constitutional types and the strengthening effect of the immune system on overall health.

Participant numbers are limited to enable questions and interaction and to build confidence in applying at-home care for current needs.

To meet demand, the workshop has been offered a number of times recently and all are now full. More workshops will occur in 2022 and will be announced to all those on the mailing list.

The workshop is by donation; contributions will be used to support future community events by Developing the Self Developing the World.

Home care kit contents will be available for purchase.

Workshop facilitators:

Louise Stewart is a homeopath prescribing anthroposophic remedies, and an oil dispersion bath therapist.
Lyn Clifton is a community health social worker prescribing hygienic anthroposophic care for daily life, and providing health and wellbeing supports including compresses, hydrotherapy and rhythmical embrocations.

Exploring child development and how these foundational years reflect into adult life. As the adult that guards and guides them, we can strive to adjust our inner life and offer meaningful support.
