The Wisdom of Waldorf
100 Reflections on Waldorf Education to Enrich and Inspire
The story of the book
At Floris Books we are proud to have the widest selection of Steiner-Waldorf education books and textbooks in the UK, and to be able to support the valuable work of Waldorf teachers through our publishing. We treasure and value the relationships we have built over the years with Steiner-Waldorf schools, teachers and parents, and we look forward to continuing to partner with, and support you, in years to come as Waldorf education looks to the future.
To celebrate this landmark centenary year, we have reached out to eminent members of the Waldorf community in the UK and Ireland as well as across the world, as far afield as North America, to Australia, to South Africa, to ask what inspirational words of wisdom about Waldorf education they have carried with them over the years. The result is a collection of uplifting reflections which rejoice in this unique approach to education, and which we hope will be a memento which will both enrich and inspire you in the future.
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.
