In this episode of The Waldorf Way, host Laura Hayes engages with Lisa Marshall, a Waldorf parent and climate activist, discussing the profound impact of Waldorf education on personal development, the importance of handwork in teaching life skills, and the role of education in fostering environmental stewardship. They explore how Waldorf methods emphasize process over outcome, the significance of discernment and perseverance, and the ways in which climate change is integrated into the curriculum. The conversation highlights the necessity of nurturing a strong connection with nature to cultivate conscious and courageous adults who are equipped to address the challenges of the modern world.
