Dear Colleagues,

We are seeing a shift in the season with signs of Fall, a time of year for many Waldorf school communities to celebrate the harvest and to acknowledge our inner light as the outer light begins to wane. This year, perhaps more than ever before, we need to feed that inner light with self-care, connection to nature, and a sense of community. Many of us are still living virtual lives – distanced, yet surprisingly intimate as we glimpse one another’s homes and lives. Some are further along the path to “school as we know it” than others, but we all share the task of navigating challenges—and opportunities--of new ways of working. 

To help us connect, support, and innovate, the Alliance is reviving our popular Zoom sessions from Spring. Please look at the schedule of sessions and join as often as is helpful to you. Each session will be hosted by an Alliance representative in a collaborative mood, to provide a forum for questions, ponderings, inspirations, and resources.

Please let colleagues know about these sessions and welcome them to Zoom in. Note that we have added monthly “special interest” sessions that include parents and Boards – and note our “new to Public Waldorf” sessions. 

Warmly,

Liz Beaven and Chamomile Nusz, for your Alliance
