The Wisdom of Waldorf cover

This is a beautiful gift book containing 100 inspirational reflections on Waldorf education and schools to mark the Waldorf 100 anniversary.

In 2019, the worldwide Waldorf community celebrates the centenary of the founding of the original Waldorf school, the first of thousands of Waldorf schools and kindergartens around the globe. This wonderful book celebrates the unique value that Waldorf education has brought to students, parents and communities.

The 100 reflections are historical quotations from key figures from Waldorf history, including Rudolf Steiner, as well as original words of wisdom from eminent members of the modern Waldorf community, such as European Council for Steiner-Waldorf Education President Dr Richard Landl, SWSF Early Childhood Executive Officer Janni Nicol, Alliance for Childhood coordinator Joan Almon and experienced Waldorf school teacher Elan Leibner.

Alternatively insightful, moving and empowering, the carefully selected thoughts in The Wisdom of Waldorf will be a source of enrichment and inspiration.
This hardback book is beautifully designed with a ribbon marker, making it both an ideal gift and a treasured keepsake.

It delivers straightforward answers to why Waldorf exists, why it is relevant now more than ever and why it is cherished through time and across the world. ECSWE members have already and will continue using it as an inspiration and we are grateful to the authors and editor for making it happen.'

'This is a little treasure of a book, which is beautifully presented.'
-- Kindling

'An absolute gift to tired, busy but curious parents! It’s short enough to read in a single sitting… or dip into; tasting one or two [quotations] at a time, like a jar of tiny and intense sweets, exploring and savouring each flavour, giving them time to sink in.'
-- Lincolnshire Waldorf Group
