Melanie Deefholts with meet with Class 7 & 8 during schools time, followed by a parent meeting that will be held on Zoom.

The Healthy Relationships with Self and Other Program is delivered through the lens of Social Understanding, Gender & Sexuality and is founded on a wholistic understanding of the human being. The program aims to deepen young people’s awareness of themselves and others through the exploration of topics in the area of sexuality and gender.

Each class and its respective age group is taught age appropriate content that is both useful for their development but also provides a social education to support greater understanding, mutual respect, and compassion for members within their own class and school communities. We have found that working with the developmental stage of each individual class, supports health and understanding of the social realities that students meet in the world today.

This program highlights the growth and changes that occur during the years of classes 5 to 7. 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. Parents of Classes 5 to 7 can contact the school for more information.

Our patterns of thinking, our feelings and our will impulses are directly influenced by the community in which we grow. The foundations of both inner freedom and unfreedom are laid down through the course of childhood. With the rise of technology permeating extensively our outer lives, we are now being faced with its effects on our inner lives and its artificial influence over the development of thinking, feeling and will impulses. Technology is forming our community’s future and in doing so extending its persuasive influence into the inner capacities of its members.

We can choose to be ready as individuals, as parents, and as a collective community, with capacities—with the necessary inner strengths—to freely choose the way of life we determine to be supportive of the progression of humanity. We need to establish communities that are dedicated to human freedom; communities in which community health, child development and education, and social life are imbued with impulses supportive of the cultivation of individual freedom.

A community talk by Lisa Romero at Threefold Auditorium.

In this talk, Lisa Romero will speak about the impact that both process and substance addiction has on the development of the individual. She will approach the effects that technology has on the sensory development of children and adults and the effects of consciousness-altering substance on inner development. Through several of her books Lisa has been working on how we meet the growing impact of these influences on our health as individuals and as a community and she will be sharing some of her latest work with us.

A lecture with Lisa Romero for parents and staff across the whole of the school, based on the impact technology has on the child's growing body and the flow on effect to learning and digestion. For adults and children alike we can recognise the need to re-establish self-regulation, attention and healthy attachments.

Social Understanding, Gender & Sexuality from Birth to Puberty & Beyond

The lecture helps to recognize the relevant depth and progression anthroposophy brings to this important aspect of life and the responsibility of community in teaching children and working together to promote individual wellbeing.

A talk by Lisa Romero hosted by Fred Talks. Space is limited. If you are interested in attending this event, please email danmackenzy@gmail.com to RSVP and for location details.

The increasingly widespread sacramental use of ayuhuasca, psilocybin and peyote, the legalization of cannabis, and LSD micro-dosing experiments have ushered in a psychedelic renaissance of sorts. Lisa will shed light on how these substances affect the subtle bodies of the human being, and will also explore how we can manage the growing challenge of technology, which enhances our lives but can also pose a threat to our spiritual evolution. Q&A and a few songs by Living Roots will round out this inspiring event.
