The Calendar of the Soul
“The light from world-wide spaces
Works on within with living power;
Transformed to light of soul
It shines into the spirit depths
To bring to birth the fruits
Whereby out of the self of worlds
The human self in course of time shall ripen.” – Calendar of the Soul by Rudolf Steiner, Verse 22
Every morning, before the school day begins, a bell rings throughout the grade school hallway inviting faculty and staff into one of the classrooms for a reading from The Calendar of the Soul. This book of verses was written by Waldorf education’s founder, Rudolf Steiner, to mark the course of the year and the interplay between the outer world around us and the inner world of ourselves. As teachers, it is a reminder of the forces that are at work around us, out of our control, and the possible inner forces that we can awaken within us, that is what is within our control. Despite what Denver’s consistently high temperatures may indicate, summer is drawing to a close. The days shorten, the light descends, and cold creeps in. These things we cannot change. What the verse above does indicate is that we have an opportunity to take the strength of sun, its light, and ensoul it within us. If we transform from passive recipients of light, to active bearers of light we can develop new capacities even as the world grows dim and cold.
As teachers, we know that we cannot control another person, even a child, and nor should we. All we can control is ourselves. So when we prepare for the day, we are chiefly preparing ourselves. The students will bring with them all multitudes of unknowns, and we must be prepared to meet those unknowns–yes with outer preparedness of lessons, but also with inner preparedness of soul.
Parenting is much the same. Just when you think you know your child, they go ahead and change. They grow, they transform, they regress, they display new behaviors begging new questions. All of this is inevitable. Change is certain.
So how do we prepare ourselves to meet our burgeoning, changing children?
We can do so in the same way that the teacher prepares for a class of children.
Steiner shines a light on this situation more broadly, beyond the realm of teaching or parenting, into the realm of anything that is unknown:
“…feelings of fear and anxiety that gnaw at our soul-life in face of the unknown future:
Is there anything that can give the soul a sense of security in this situation?
Yes, there is.
It is what we may call a feeling of humbleness towards anything that may come towards the soul out of the darkness of the future.
But this feeling will be effective only if it has the character of prayer. Let us avoid misunderstanding. We are not extolling something that might be called humbleness in one sense of another; we are describing a definite form of it: Humbleness towards whatever the future may bring.
Ideally, it would mean saying to oneself: Whatever the next hour or the next day may hold, I cannot change it through fear or anxiety, for it is not yet known. I will therefore wait for it with complete equanimity and peace of mind.
Anyone who can meet the future in this calm, relaxed way, without impairing his active strength and energy, will be able to develop the powers of his soul freely and intensively.”
If we develop this feeling of humbleness beforehand, by taking just a few quiet minutes in the morning, then we can respond with more freedom of thought and action in the moment. We can take a moment to really ask ourselves, “What is happening here? Why is this happening? What is this moment asking of me?” And then, without panic or worry, we can respond.
I would say that complementary to humbleness, a kind of bookend, is grace. Our lives are made of countless little moments, little actions. In the middle of it, each moment seems incredibly large, to where if we get really overwhelmed, we have a kind of tunnel vision. Nothing else exists in that moment: nothing to the left, right, up, down, behind me. All that there is is right in front of me and time stands still. Yet of course that is not true. Time rolls on, the world around me continues, and this moment itself is fleeting.
We can gain this kind of perspective by practicing a simple exercise, common among Waldorf teachers, of the daily review. Here is one way Steiner describes it:
“Being able to look at our experiences, joys, and sorrows as if they belonged to someone else is a good preparation for spiritual training. We can gradually gain this ability by taking time after work each day to allow images of the day’s experiences to pass before us in spirit. We should see ourselves in images within these experiences. In other words, we must look in on ourselves in our daily lives as if from outside. We can gain an aptitude for this kind of self-observation if we begin by visualizing small isolated portions of our daily lives. With practice, we become increasingly skillful in this retrospective view, and after considerable repetition, we can quickly form a complete picture.”
Doing this, we can gain perspective over events that happened in a more impersonal way. Perhaps we could have done something better, and now we know for next time. Perhaps that event had to unfold that way, no matter our actions. But similar to not getting anxious about the future, we strive to not dwell on the past. We accept the opportunity to learn, resolve for the future, and leave the past. In this way, we can continue striving to meet our students or our children in the present moment.

About Laura Shope
Laura Shope came to DWS in 2021 via the Rudolf Steiner School of Ann Arbor, where she served as the High School Student Support Coordinator and High School Administrator for the past three years, and a parent in the Waldorf community for more than 17 years. She has extensive training in career development and personal coaching, along with having recently completed her Waldorf High School Teacher Training through the Center for Anthroposophy. Her plans for working with our students and faculty include creating a rich program of self-reflection, support, and clarity around the decisions the students make for their plans after high school.
Laura is a passionate artist and works with stone, clay, wood, weaving, and plaster to create abstract forms. She and her husband, Dale Jensen, are outdoor enthusiasts and look forward to exploring all that Colorado has to offer. They have two sons, Wilder and Corbin, who attended Waldorf schools from preschool through grade 12 (Corbin will graduate from RSSAA in 2022).
About The Denver Waldorf High School
The Denver Waldorf High School offers a liberal arts education, consciously aimed to nurture and encourage adolescent ideals. The high school experience aims to balance the students’ academic needs with their longing to find meaning in the world. Scroll down to hear from a few of our faculty members.
Engaging Body, Intellect, and Emotion
At the start of each day, movement helps spark students’ circulation and bring them together. They then engage in a long, uninterrupted seminar (referred to as main lesson in elementary and middle school) to activate their minds, followed by music and elective classes to spark emotional expression. Music classes and elective courses promote the development of healthy emotional expression through creation.
High School Music
Regarding music, all high school students participate in chorus, with the option to participate in either music ensemble or orchestra until their senior year. Students new to DWS and who have not played their instrument before are strongly encouraged to take private lessons.
Hands-On Learning of Real-World Skills
Students apply what they’ve learned theoretically to scenarios in the real world. For example, a study of soil composition could be applied to a chemistry lesson on acids and bases, as well as a close reading of The Grapes of Wrath, and a course in black-and-white photography in which they learn to develop their own film.
Rhythm of Thinking, Feeling, and Willing
Our goal is to expose our high school students to academic wealth, and demonstrate to them that all knowledge is valuable to encourage their pursuit of wisdom throughout life.
The high school curriculum revisits themes and subjects periodically to strengthen functional knowledge. Students cultivate their ability to think critically, organize ideas and information, and clearly present thoughts through an academically challenging mix of math, English, humanities, physics, life sciences, chemistry, world language, practical, industrial and fine arts, chorus, orchestra, drama, and physical education.

The Rose Ceremony - a Waldorf School Tradition
The sun shines behind a row of seniors, sitting confidently on benches facing a semicircle of students and teachers with eager, expectant faces. 8th graders stand in the wings, some shift from foot to foot, others try to remain standing, straight and ready. 1st graders nuzzle or squirm on their parents’ laps. A vase of roses lies center stage before the seniors.
Every year we begin and end the year with the Rose Ceremony, an event that marks the transition from one stage of life to another. Foundational to Waldorf education is the understanding of human development and its phases. One principle of human development is the seven year phases of life: birth to 7, 7 to 14, 14, to 21. In the Rose Ceremony, we see each of these phases represented as the kindergartener enters 1st grade, the 8th grader enters high school, and the senior enters adulthood (though it should be noted that they’ve got 3 more years until age 21). Three ideals live within each seven year period: goodness, beauty, and truth.
From when a child is born, up through our early childhood program, the child is most nourished by a sense that the world is good. We cultivate this sense of goodness through the loving affection of the teachers, through stories, and through the very daily environment the children experience with their senses. The teacher carries on the parents’ loving gaze and the constant devotion to the child’s well being. Hugs each morning, snuggles on the rocking chair, a nice back rub when settling down for a nap all let the child know that they are loved and in a good, safe place.
Rudolf Steiner describes how during the first seven years the young child nearly “breathes in the whole character of the environment.” Largely unconsciously, the young child directly experiences the physical world and the moral quality behind it. During these years the child unconsciously seeks to develop their lower senses: touch, smell, balance, movement, and life. It is sufficient to say that the child has an innate drive to explore with these senses because they develop a foundational understanding of the world around them, and through that experience of the world, they experience themselves. When we create an environment with a natural diversity of sense experiences, then this innate drive is satisfied, and they experience the world as good. In this way, the kindergarten teacher is like the gardener. The gardener creates an environment that encourages the plant to grow by providing the right soil, the right amount of water, and the right amount of sunlight. The seed was always seeking to grow, this is innate, and the gardener simply helps the plant fulfill its destiny.
When the child enters first grade, Steiner says, “The next seven years are spent not so much breathing in the environment, but listening to what it has to say.” In these years between first and eighth grade, the teacher is a mediator between the child and the world. This is why storytelling is so important in our curriculum. The spoken and written word help guide the students through an understanding of the world, and through the word, and through the teachers, the students develop a feeling that the world is beautiful. The world may not always be good, and this is something that the teacher helps reveal as well, but in the world beauty persists. The teacher’s relationship with the world helps the student develop a healthy relationship with the world. Without a relationship, the world is incoherent and causes anxiety. Through the teacher’s artistic teaching, the student sees that the world is ordered, is coherent, and that they belong.
Of course, the natural authority of the adult erodes with time in order to make room for the authority of the students themselves. High school is when the student can no longer experience truth through the teacher, but only through their own conscious thinking activity. The students must use their physical senses to observe without judgment and to think clearly about these experiences in order to develop concepts free from external influences. What the teacher does provide is an environment and a means for investigating the “riddles of the world,” as Steiner refers to them. The teacher helps “awaken within them an extraordinarily great interest in the world outside of themselves.” The student should have confidence that their teacher has access to the answer, but the teacher guides rather than imposes.
Through these three phases, we help cultivate in our students the ability to not only sense goodness, beauty, and truth, but also to be bearers of them out in the world. When they stand on the stage and receive their high school diploma they look out into the world with confidence and love.

About The Denver Waldorf Middle School
6th Grade: The spirit of conquest and the rule of law
A time of collaboration, self-direction, grounding, and emerging, sixth grade marks the emergence of adolescence and the struggle between light and dark. Sixth graders take the first step toward critical thinking as they study Roman civilization and the Middle Ages, as well as astronomy, physics, and mineralogy — subjects met with discernment and insight to encourage a healthy interest in, and compassion for, the world.
7th Grade: Questing into the unknown
Looking outward while feeling inward, seventh graders are expressive and forceful, challenging authority and exploring limits. They seek to assert independence and find their place, while remembering to provide light for those behind them. During this time of discovery, resistance, optimism, chaos, and order, we explore the Renaissance and examine truth and beauty via scientists, religious reformers, and artists.
8th Grade: Extending one’s horizons
By eighth grade, students have gained a well-rounded general picture of humanity and the universe. It is a time of self-confidence, interest in the world, self-love, and service to others. The elementary education has engaged their hearts, wills, and minds, forming the basis for real learning throughout their lives. The final year of elementary school brings previous experiences to a new peak, enabling students to enter fully and potently into their own time.
