Teacher Professional Development Program
by
Presenters: Patries Orange (lead trainer), Kelly Ryan and Amy Saia
This Teacher Development training aims is to develop our own creative capacities through the integration of art and science. The course is for current and new teachers, educators, eurythmists or parents wishing to deepen their pedagogic approach.
For more information or questions please call 039699 1913, or email info@childrensgarden.net.au.
Program Detail:
By coming together, we are consciously preparing a space to access or enter the living stream of ideas that speak to the deepest questions of our time. Studying Rudolf Steiner’s work is an invitation to explore the nature of the human being, the meaning of freedom, and the connections between spirit, soul, other and world. His insights touch education, art, science, agriculture, social life, and inner development—not as abstract theory, but as practical wisdom for living more consciously and creatively.
-
We start the module and each consecutive day with Eurythmy with Patries Orange, an internationally renowned Curative Eurythmist and Trainer with 40 years experience. Through Movement and gesture we can experience form, rhythm, relationship to space, ourselves and each other.
-
This is followed by Nature Study. Each person chooses a plant or tree to enter a process of observation.
-
Then together we read and explore a Lecture given by Rudolf Steiner relevant to the education.
-
After lunch we have a session of Art in relation to the theme of the module. Art can be as a bridge between sense perception and personal experience leading to insight.
-
Then another session of text study, and conversation.
-
We end with a review of the day, preparation for next day and closing verse.
