Helping Children Find Their Way: Making Connections, a workshop with Rachel Ross for Eurythmy Therapists and Extra Lesson Remedial Educators at the Great Barrington Rudolf Steiner School. Register by March 10, 2010. Workshop on April 9 & 10, 2010. Download additional information and registration form (pdf).

How can we deepen our understanding of the pedagogical and curative/medical constitutional polarities? When we look at our incarnating children we can ask “What do they bring with them, what do they need, and how can we help them?” We will continue the work of the conference on “Understanding the Relationship Between Therapeutic Eurythmy and the Extra Lesson” held in Kimberton, PA, April 2009.

The workshop will include presentations, case studies, and practical exercises in both Eurythmy Therapy and Extra Lesson remedial work. It is open to all Eurythmy Therapists and Extra Lesson Remedial Teachers and will begin with an evening lecture on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and continue from 8:30 to 5:30 p.m. Saturday. A detailed schedule, directions, and list of local motels will be sent upon receiving registration. The Friday evening lecture is open to any Waldorf teachers who would like to learn more about the constitutional polarities and how to understand the children in their classes, $12 at the door.
