Health and Wellbeing in our Times
Through the lens of Anthroposophy - with Melanie Deefholts
Parent & Caregiver Information Evening
Classes 1 - 6 ⎜ Tuesday October 12 @ 7pm
We will explore the unfolding of the feeling life between 8 to 12 years old as it awakens and becomes independent of the parents and caregivers. The feelings, thoughts and deeds of the community shape a foundation for emotional capacities as adults. What lives in our feeling life in these times? What is the soul-food that can nourish our children’s unfolding development?
Parent & Caregiver Information Evening
Classes 7 - 12 ⎜ Wednesday October 13 @ 7pm
The content is help to recognise the relevant depth and progression anthroposophy brings to this important aspect of life and the responsibility of community in raising children and working together to promote individual wellbeing. We look at how and when we work with children and adolescents to bring the understanding of sexuality and gender in relation to where they are in their consciousness. This brings harmony between the evolving body and inner experiences that sets the ground for healthy adult experience.
The talk will cover the themes of the content brought to the students and some of the main issues confronting child health and wellbeing in current times, with examples of how we can counter the unbalancing effects. We also address how to understand gender differences and similarities that both limit or free us and the contribution and struggles of the changing social structures around gender and sexuality affecting us all.

Classes 7 - 12
The program highlights with each class the growth and changes that they are going through. This includes puberty and the physical and emotional changes that go hand in hand over this time. The content is age appropriate for each class. It aims to deepen the young person’s healthy relationship to themselves and encourages greater understanding, mutual respect and compassion for the other members of their class and the school community.
