A Steiner School for Lincoln?

I am excited to be part of the Lincoln Steiner Project which aims to open a new Steiner inspired School in Lincoln.
We already have a great deal of support and taken steps towards consulting the wider community by publishing a questionnaire to investigate public opinion. The questionnaire can be viewed on the facebook group 'Lincoln needs a Steiner School'. Alternatively I can send you a copy by e mail if you contact info@nottinghamshireherbalist.co.uk
Steiner education has a holistic approach which takes account of the spiritual, emotional and academic development of the child. This seems to me to be a balanced approach to education, inspiring creativity and free thinking which is something I would love for my own children. Steiner education also pays great attention to the natural world in it's teaching which I think is crucial for the future of our world. As a herbalist I try to be in tune with the seasons and rhythms of the year as this often informs my practice by offering herbs seasonally.
If you would like to be part of this process or would be interested in sending your children to the school, please support us by joining the facebook group or our mailing list (e mail me your details) so we can keep you informed of developments.

Interview with Pam Montgomery

Here is a link for an interview with Pam which may give you an idea of the flavour of the workshop to be held in April (16-18) in Newark, Nottinghamshire. Pam speaks about developing an intimate relationship with plants and the healing that can come from becoming closer to the natural world.
