Wonders of Waldorf

June 24, 2024Community

Join us for a 50th anniversary celebration and showcase of our curriculum and community. It is not a coincidence that The Denver Waldorf School was founded on September 29th (we will celebrate a day early on the 28th!), which also marks the first major festival of the year, Michaelmas. Michaelmas is a traditional Waldorf festival that reminds us to find our own strength and courage to overcome the darkness we face in our lives. It is a season that calls for us to acknowledge our worries yet move forward to affirm the goodness of life. And so, with this spirit of Michaelmas, we look forward to celebrating the beginnings of our school and community!

Our "Wonders of Waldorf" event will include offerings from each of our grades to highlight the richness and beauty of Waldorf, complimentary catered snacks (plus Kona Ice for purchase), children's activities (including Waldorf window star making & tulip bulb planting), and much community merriment. Open and free to our school community and all those interested in learning more about our Waldorf education.

*In case of inclement weather, the Wonders of Waldorf celebration will be canceled.

Family Mindfulness Under the Trees

Join Kara Wadenstierna, therapist and long-time educator, for an afternoon of family mindfulness under the trees in Platte Park. Moving through a series of individual, small group, and large group activities, we will utilize drawing, movement, play, and breath work to practice contacting the present moment with ease and joy. This 1-hour class is designed to provide joyful tools to families who long for a “Pause” button in large and small moments and are curious to integrate accessible mindful practices into daily life. See you under the trees! About Kara: After a decade in traditional and nature education, Kara started working as a therapist in community mental health in 2018. Kara has found that integrating mindful practices into her clinical work her allow her to contact the present moment with ease and joy and extend this invitation to others. She is trained in evidenced-based practices including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) and is currently spending her time working with mothers at The Rylie Center for Hope and Healing. When not contemplating the color of a blade of grass or the smell of the breeze, Kara can be found singing blissfully out of tune to her 7-month old daughter, going on long walks with her family, watching Pixar shorts, or drinking green smoothies.
