Visiting Classes 4-12 and speaking with parents and the school faculty.
This program offered by Developing the Self Developing the World brings anthroposophy to help understand relationships 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.
It speaks to some of 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.
