A New Impulse - preliminary announcement
3-day conference for Waldorf professionals(and those with Waldorf teacher training) ~February 18 - 20, 2010
At the Marin Waldorf School
With Christof Wiechert, Leader of the Pedagogical Section
Registration: $35
"I must give a new impulse [...] Make no mistake, it is largely a question of interest in the children and the young people and a matter of enthusiasm [...] We shall not get anywhere in any direction without enthusiasm and inner mobility[...] A person certainly cannot be tired if s/he is to be spiritually alive." Rudolf Steiner
Faculty Meeting of the Stuttgart Waldorf School, July 24, 1924
With these words Rudolf Steiner ends his engagement in the original Waldorf School. Ninety years later we might ask ourselves: Do we now also need a new impulse?
How can we balance structure and form with impulse and creativity so that they serve a "new impulse" for Waldorf schools - an impulse that is needed as we approach the centenary of this new educational paradigm.
This 3-day conference will be concentrated. The days will be relatively short - 9:00am to 3:30pm on Thursday and Friday; 9:00 to 12:30 on Saturday -- so that participants can commute more easily, need not be away from home all day, and still have something of a weekend.
In order to make this conference affordable, we will have a minimal registration fee of $35. We are investigating the possibility of having simple lunches provided by the Marin Waldorf School 8th graders, as a fund-raiser for their 8th grade trip. Local restaurants are, of course, also available. We ask you to organize any required lodging - several local motels can be found here or by searching "Marin motels" on the internet. Refreshment during coffee breaks will be provided.
