25.01.2022 Sometimes it's just this simple.

25.01.2022 Finding the joy in the ordinary is such a worthy quest.

25.01.2022 The Corona pandemic affects us all in different ways, but for some it has become a matter of survival or shutting down. In many places all over the world Waldor...f Kindergartens are working without any state subsidies and only can function further through additional donations from parents and educators. The current Corona Pandemic has led some of them into an existential crisis through which they are now threatened with closure. IASWECE is participating with the Friends of Waldorf Education and other partners in an emergency fund to ensure their survival. Help us to help these kindergartens by donating!

25.01.2022 Our playgroups will recommence first week in September

23.01.2022 Play provides an opportunity to build social (communication and collaboration), emotional (resilience and self-regulation) and physical (fine and gross motor) ...skills, as well as cognitive ones. This combination is critical to the holistic development of a child, with each skill domain bearing equal importance. See more

23.01.2022 Movements that are often associated with risky play, such as, swinging, climbing, rolling, hanging, sliding, are not only fun for children but also essential f...or their motor skills, balance, coordination, and body awareness... The more children are free to engage in risky play the better they will be at managing risks, judging what they are capable of, and keeping themselves safe. The role of the teacher is to provide a challenging and risky learning environment that will support all children as they become more motivated, curious, able, and adventurous https://earlyyearsoutdooreducation.wordpress.com/outdoor-r/ #natureplay #riskyplay #fdc #naturalchildhood #playmatters

16.01.2022 Love having these conversations with Jake Wearing and Ujjval Goble. We always have an intention and loose plan, but what actually transpires is surprising and joyful.

15.01.2022 Repost via @therogueginger with darning inspiration for the long weekend ahead which is a sock dyeing weekend for me. I love listening to podcasts while mendi...ng or dyeing so this weekend Ill be tuning into Curtain The Podcast, an indigenous true crime podcast by Amy McGuire about a miscarriage of justice that delves into the racism and bias that underpins our own justice system in Australia. If you have any recommendations of other indigenous podcasts or audio books Id love to hear about them. #blacklivesmatter #indigenouslivesmatter #tuningin #listenandlearn #mending #visiblemending #repair #clothingrepair #modernmending #darnitmendit #darning #needlefelting #zerowastefashion #repair Photo credit @therogueginger See more

13.01.2022 The winter in-breath The winter solstice, Sunday June 21 this year ,when the sun is at its furthest point from us in the southern sky, is an important turni...ng point in the year. It challenges us to find the light in the darkness, the warmth in the cold. With the increasing separation of the sun from the earth in winter, the earth breathes inward, drawing etheric forces deep inside its physical body. As with the earth, we too move inward. Our thinking becomes more clear and active, we are capable of penetrating lifes mysteries. The celebration of the winter solstice, as with all seasonal festivals, helps us to become aware of the inner reality of the seasons. Children have a natural affinity with the experience of festivals - they are something to look toward to, part of our "becoming". Festivals help to strengthen family life, acting as golden thread that weaves throughout the year. There is a creative power when we build an environment of "physical substance but also of soul substance" (quote by L.St.Clair). We can begin to carry the festival with intention and to build anticipation- to marvel at the cold and rain and frost ,the changes in the garden, to make a winter seasonal table, to talk about the soon to come special family dinner and plan lanterns to be made. So this winter solstice, enjoy a lantern walk and look at the stars,decorate the table and share a candle-lit dinner, winter songs, poems and stories*, delicious special food (apple pie and spiced tea!), and celebrate the season with human warmth. * Stories or little anecdotes with a winter theme can be shared by all,and can be wondrous or amusing ... "I remember when...", " Once upon a time when I was about your age we went on a camping holiday and we woke up one morning ...." etc Grandparents can often bring richness to such sharing.

13.01.2022 Time is such a gift!

12.01.2022 Fly away, With the ones you love so dear, Fly away, Though the path may not seem clear. Fly away,... To a place where the sun still shines, And youll be just fine, Through the winter time. {from Seek & Find - Autumn collection of stories & songs for families} Oh how I love the bittersweet beauty of Lady Autumn & all the deep feelings she stirs in my soul See more

06.01.2022 Lou Harvey Zahra has 2 parent talks commencing in August. Our Red Hill playgroup families have gained numerous helpful and insightful parenting ideas from Lou.

03.01.2022 Dawdle on, my friends

03.01.2022 This is a small quilt that my late wife started before she died. Her sister just had it finished by someone. I thought maybe it might inspire someone with artistic skills to do their own drawing or painting. She loved rabbits!

03.01.2022 I carry a light within me A brightly burning flame Though dark may try to win me It ever shines the same. It guides me through uncertainty ... It warms the wintry weather And brings to every burden All the lightness of a feather ~ This exquisite Winter hoop picture is lovingly needlefelted by @josephinefromheaventoearth and captures a magical scene of carrying the light in the dark, cold winter & radiating it out into the world See Josies latest seasonal offerings under our Winter and Waldorf crafts collections **THIS PIECE NOW SOLD** See more

01.01.2022 Snugglepot & Cuddlepie recommend masks! A May Gibbs drawing from 1919 which she drew during the Spanish flu epidemic. This public health poster was part of a g...overnment campaign in New South Wales to limit the spread of the deadly Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-19. At the time, wearing face masks in public places was compulsory, schools were closed and many public activities were banned or restricted. See more
