The Wisdom of Waldorf

‘Wisdom of Waldorf brings forward the spirit and importance of Waldorf education in a subtle and simple way… This book is a great source for an artistic and to-the-point insight into Waldorf. 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.’– The Board of the European Council for Steiner Waldorf Education‘A wonderful little book of nourishment and inspiration.’– Conkers Life‘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
