Rudolf Steiner and the Renewal of our Cultural Life

In the context of current social, economic and political events, I have a growing sense that humanity may finally muster sufficient motivation to seriously engage in the seminal ideas on three-folding introduced by Rudolf Steiner over a century ago. How do we find equality in the ‘rights life’ in the face of seismic shifts towards totalitarianism around the world?   How do we find each other as caring humans in the economic realm when income inequality and rule by millionaires seems to be the new normal?  And are people even aware of the alarming loss of freedom in the cultural life today?

Finding Confidence

When 54 Waldorf teachers were asked why they wished to commit to a 3-month storytelling training, most answered that they wanted to become confident. Confident storytellers. Confident teachers. Confident people. This question was tangential to my dissertation research, a program evaluation of a training program. It was clear that these Waldorf teachers valued storytelling as a primary pedagogical tool as well as being effective with conflict resolution, classroom management, creating community and restoring connection between students. The challenge, it turned out, was that these teachers lacked confidence to do what they knew was central to their work. For this reason, they took the training. More »

The Frog King or Iron Henry

The opening passage of the story brilliantly describes the distress in which the soul essence of a human being finds itself during its embodiment in matter. The king's daughter represents a human being existing in the spaces of eternity before it decides to descend the path of embodiment towards the density of matter.

The sphere is the most perfect of all forms, and gold the most precious of all minerals. More »

Under the direction of PWS Choir Director Ted Masur, the students delivered a moving rendition of “We Are the World” as a heartfelt tribute to the late Quincy Jones, who originally produced the iconic song.

True, Kind, Necessary, Securing

Most every wisdom tradition cautions for the wise use of words, acknowledging their tremendous power to inspire and to wound. This might be most obvious on the world stage, where the words of someone like Martin Luther King Jr. can echo through history, capturing an era and galvanizing change. But I see the power so much more commonly wielded in the family. Through the noise and bustle of daily life, a parent’s words can help shape the way a child sees the world and, most importantly, sees themselves. In our era of spin and counter-spin, when words are parsed and split, where news stands beside opinion and embraces blogs, meaning is often drowned out. Just as it’s hard to cherish a toy lost in the middle of a mountain of play-things, when we say less, our words mean more. More »
