10:30 - 11:30am - Journey to Virtue within Education
Beyond conventional morals and taboos, true virtue resides in the heart of every. To be free is to discover and realize one’s own inner virtue in all of life’s affairs.  Education that makes a difference promotes such an experience through the development of sound curriculum and a nurturing environment.  Waldorf education provides such a method of learning through its philosophy of learning and interpretation of traditional subjects.

 

Learn more about how the Waldorf education awakens a student's inner voice of virtue.

 

11:30 - 12:15pm - Lunch

 

12:15 - 2:00pm - Understanding the Temperaments
The four temperaments (choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic and melancholic) have become very fashionable. Examples come down to us from the ancient world in the writings of Egyptians, Greeks and medieval philosophers.  Even Shakespeare used them in his plays referring to them in his famous maxim, “To thine ownself be true.”  In more recent times, Rudolf Steiner applied them to education and child development. Today, one can find numerous titles on the discovery of one’s temperament within the self-development world.

What is all the fuss? Come and explore the world of the temperaments and find out.
