Kia Ora pals.
A warm welcome back the podcast.
Today Annie (of @thechildisthecurriculum on Instagram) go deep into the Waldorf take on festivals. Steiner said our generation would be the ones to renew them and the content for this podcast was inspired by that impulse. Being in the Southern Hemisphere, I find the topic of the Festivals one I contemplate often.
It was awesome to talk to Annie in the US, experiencing Christmas in Winter, while I myself am in Aotearoa (New Zealand) celebrating Christmas in the Summer.
Our chat includes…..
- The What and the Why of the typical Waldorf Festivals
- Why they are such a big deal
- The difference between Historic and Seasonal festivals
- The Arch angels and their roles in the seasons.
- Why Christ is such a central figure
- What to do if you are not Christian
- Practical ways to bring the festival vibes into your home for free or very cheaply
