Waldorfy

Thoughtful, informative, well-produced! A treasure trove of information for the Waldorf curious.

My oldest son recently won the lottery and was picked to attend a local public Waldorf charter we had hoped to get into for years. I had loved the school without even knowing anything about Waldorf, and when he was finally accepted this year, I googled “Waldorf education” quickly to make sure it would be the right fit for us and to learn a little bit about what we would be joining. Well, as she discusses in the podcast, some of the first things that pop into the search bar with the words “Waldorf Education” can be unexpected, concerning, and off-putting, I went down a wormhole of negative information, which almost convinced me not to accept the spot. In the end, we took the spot, my son is THRIVING, and I listen to this podcast as often as I can to understand all the beautiful reasons why. I am so grateful this podcast exists to provide balanced information on the magical aspects of Waldorf and to explore the negative aspects found in online searches. She doesn’t shy away and even addresses many of them (specifically Steiner’s racism and a lot of the “religious” accusations about Waldorf), which is so unbelievably appreciated, I don’t even know how to express in words how grateful I am for those discussions. If your child is in a Waldorf school and like me, you didn’t know a lot about it going in, this is an invaluable resource and has helped me want to know more and more and more. I look forward to continuing to listen as he goes through his years at the school and my younger son joins him in a few years.

The information on this podcast is incredible. I am so happy I found it! I am glad they have a patreon to support all of this great work. THANK YOU!!

I’m 5 episodes in. Definitely enjoying this rabbit hope and particularly the resources mentioned by her guests for learning more about their particular niches of the Steiner/ Waldorf/ Anthroposophy world.
