Waldorf Essentials

Melisa Nielsen shares her practices of creating happiness in the holiday's.

From decorating the tree to meal time.

Remember we are always in charge of our reaction.

We can feel calm or let chaos take over. We can keep things simple and affordable, like reading a book each night for advent. We are dedicated to helping families walking the Waldorf path at home.

This path can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. Let us be your guides as you embark on this beautiful way of learning with your family.

Melisa takes us through the winter season of holidays and festivals.

She helps guide us in choosing which to celebrate based on what is right for our families values and practices.

The best way to have a successful holiday/festival?
Have it be special to your family.

Not sure how to celebrate one that you have never heard of?
Find a friend that is an expert and ask if your family can come join this year and learn from them.

Melisa guides you through a meditation and leaves you with three golden nuggets you will want to put into practice this holiday season.

Melisa shares why it is ok to say "I Can't Teach Today."

And why it's actually better to do that when you are feeling off then pushing through and having the lesson go down the wrong path.

Use that lesson time to get yourself re grounded and ready to present the lesson tomorrow.
