This course is offered to deepen and renew our work in educational eurythmy.

It will follow the format of the AWSNA Collaborative Mentoring Seminars that have been offered to experienced class teachers and led by Else Goettgens.

The eurythmy teachers will join morning presentations and discussions led by Christof Wiechert, followed by daily sessions especially designed for the eurythmists. In these enriching and advanced studies, the focus will be on child development and how the Waldorf eurythmy curriculum addresses it. This AWSNA mentoring course is now in its third year. We have been actively striving as a group to deepen our understanding of the Waldorf eurythmy curriculum as well as research how to create mentoring structures that will help us step out of isolation into a life-sustaining connection with one another.

Eurythmy teachers who are interested and have taught eight years may submit a letter of recommendation from their school. We are looking for teachers who have been well integrated into their schools and have served them in many ways. Please send this to the Center for Anthroposophy with a request to register for this course.
