Course reviews

For a long time, I’ve been searching for a course that beautifully mixes Waldorf principles with the Wheel of the Year, foraging, and connecting deeply with nature.  The songs and beautiful stories are completely ready to listen to. Audio resources like this are a lifesaver, especially since music and storytelling can be one of the hardest areas of Waldorf for me to implement on my own. Having these ready to go makes our days so much easier and more joyful. Thank you.

What's included?

The introduction course focuses on the foundations. The Wildcraft Way is thoroughly explained with plenty of practical examples. You will be introduced to the different activities that appear in each segment of the Wheel of The Year including: Plants and Foraging; Stories and Lore; Rituals and Activities, Songs, Rhymes and Blessings, and Waldorf Traditions. In the introduction, I focus on why these activities are important and how to incorporate them easefully into your already full life.

The Wildcraft Way grew out of my own practices with my family. I have found it to be the prefect antidote to managing the chaos of a young family in today's world that pulls us in so many directions.

I have also found that mothering this way has greatly enriched my life and my own spiritual practices and helped me to embrace this season of mothering as a way to keep learning and developing my craft. I am so happy to share this with you.
