60-day access to recording for the May 8, 2025 webinar: "Understanding Early Childhood through Anthroposophy-Tone as Medicine”
Description: Early childhood is a magical phase of life, filled with curiosity, wonder, and immense potential. As we explore the developmental journey of children, anthroposophy provides us with a profound lens through which we can understand their accompanying needs and experiences. This holistic approach emphasizes the interconnectedness of body, soul, and spirit, recognizing that each child is a unique individual with his or her own rhythm and path.
Anthroposophy encourages us to observe children closely, to appreciate their innate abilities and needs at different developmental stages. What do we need to know as parents about the Moon period of development, for example? How can this knowledge create the inspiration for a parent to embody that which they hold most dear for a child to reflect? How can the world of tone be used to support development?
