That Good May Become

I live in the land of teenagers and it is incredible. Somehow they get a bad rap, but they are creative, deep thinkers fighting for their lives in this strange world. Today I’m joined by Andrew May, deep thinker, organizational whizz, writer and former high school teacher. This inspiring conversation will remind you of how we need to show up for the young adults in our lives–with humility and honesty. 

Stay tuned to the end for Andrew’s beautiful poem called The Gloaming. https://substack.com/@andrewmay

Coming Up: How To Know Higher Worlds by Rudolf Steiner is described as a handbook for peace. Why? Because to create peace we need to establish it within ourselves. Over the next year, I’ll offer a monthly gathering to dive deep into its chapters and practice the exercises in a small community of learners. The meetings will happen one Saturday a month for 1.5 hours. I’ll send preparatory work your way, and then we will come together to explore. If interested, please email or DM me and pass it along to your friends. I can’t wait for you to join me! 

Meggan Gill explores being alive in a time of beauty, challenge, and change, and what this means for Waldorf education. In this far-ranging discussion, we talk about materialism, the danger of certainty, the humbling experience of working with children, embracing difference, systems of oppression, and the children coming into the world today.

I loved talking with Annie Haas (@thechildisthecurriculum) about homeschooling and Waldorf education as mechanisms to disrupt materialism in profound ways. She shared a deep experience that solidified her connection to the spiritual world, the depth of the Waldorf curriculum and its profound spiritual impact, and the many ways she assists moms and other seekers on their spiritual journeys. I can't wait to talk with Annie again! You can find all her anthropop and Waldorf resources, including her Threefold Human Calendar and book clubs here. https://linktr.ee/thechildisthecurriculum

In this last lecture in the Hibernian Mystery series given by Rudolf Steiner, we see how a materialistic understanding of spiritual beings came to be the dominant way of relating to spirituality. 

Walk through the evolution of human consciousness and arrive at a question: How do we access this ancient wisdom again, especially when we are barred from approaching it in our modern times? 

We can do it! Tune and and share your thoughts with me at [email protected] or @laura_scappaticci

My Summer 2024 Podcast Book Club is focused on the Hibernian Mysteries, ancient initiation rites that occurred in Ireland. Why does this matter now?

We need this understanding more than ever to disrupt the materialistic forces of the world and see a fuller picture of our capacities and responsibilities as humans. As Rudolf Steiner explains, "The purpose of all these different paths was to unveil the hidden aspects of world existence and human existence."

Join me as I work through this lecture with humor and hope for the future.

SUMMER PODCAST BOOK CLUB STARS NOW! The Hibernian Mysteries

SUMMER WORKSHOP STARTS JUNE 22: Disrupting Materialism: Personal Practices to Help the World 

The need to understand what we cannot experience beyond our physical senses is ever present. In the past, people were brought into an understanding of the esoteric, the spiritual, through ritual and deep experiences often guided by teachers. Our 2024 Summer Book Club is focused on one initiation known as the Hibernian Mysteries which took place in Ireland in ancient times. That path is still relevant for us today. 

Together we'll walk through the initiation that took place in that time and grapple with the deep concepts that Steiner presents in these three lectures given in December 1923--over 100 years ago. And of course, I'll be a bit silly along the way.

Haneen (Palestinian) and Miriam (Israeli) tell the story of their coming together and the possibility of peace that exists through their relationship.  Through their deep inner work and their love for each other, they have cultivated the ability to carry the facts of the dehumanization and violence that is occurring along with a picture of hope and possibility. This episode offers a way forward towards peace in our hearts and the world.

Andrew Sullivan, poet, philosopher, Waldorf high school teacher, and interdisciplinary artist, banters with me and a live audience about Artificial Intelligence, the heart, and community. I can't wait to try out this format again! This conversation was recorded during the Sacramento Waldorf School February Teacher's Conference focused on Waldorf education in the age of ChatGPT.

In this short solo episode, I talk about my recent absence, the celebration of Imbolc, a time of "becoming real," your invitation to my next podcast book club--but this time it's a mysterious lecture series by Rudolf Steiner. Ooo....ahhh....
