Dear Friends,
After two years of being mostly online, Center for Anthroposophy (CfA) and its affiliated Waldorf Teacher Education Program at Antioch University New England are resuming in-person classes this summer. In all, a record 11 cohorts will be meeting in Wilton, New Hampshire, on the campus of High Mowing School:
- Two groups for Waldorf high school teacher training
- Three groups for Waldorf elementary teacher education
- Two groups for Antioch’s advanced transdisciplinary studies in healing education
- One group inaugurating CfA’s Kairos Institute with a program in “Emergency Pedagogy” with Bernd Ruf
- One group for Waldorf administrators and leadership training
- One group of Antioch students launching their doctoral studies in Waldorf education
- One-week Renewal Courses in professional development
Add to this growing line-up CfA’s Explorations program in foundational studies and its regional Building Bridges satellite program for Waldorf teacher training, both of which meet during the school year, and you have the complete palette of courses on offer this year.
Each of these programs is featured below, along with news of further fresh initiatives and developments on the move at CfA.

As of June 2022, all of CfA’s summer programs are scheduled once again to be held “in person” on its summertime home base in Southern New Hampshire.
A new banner greets visitors to CfA’s completely redesigned website and archived resources. At the same time, fresh images and ads depicting CfA programs have appeared across print and online media. Even the CfA logo is a little different, if you look carefully.
Apart from demonstrating a firm footing in one or more subjects, a high school teacher needs to be versed in the ways of three “PC’s” in order to succeed with teenagers.
“Inspirations!” and “Return to Community!” represent the two overarching thematic banners of this year’s Renewal Courses –– the first week online, the second week once again in person.
Starting with Bernd Ruf’s course on “Emergency Pedagogy,” CfA’s Kairos Institute is launching the first of a multi-unit training this summer intended to treat and prevent trauma through the healing modalities of the arts.
Thanks to its “live” online format, CfA’s Explorations Program in foundational studies now draws participants from across five continents.
CfA/Antioch Alumni Association is hosting a Homecoming and Birthday Party this summer.
The inaugural group of CfA’s new Waldorf Leadership Development completes its year-long program with a festive celebration.
After a year-long hiatus, CfA resumed its “Building Bridges” program this past September with a vibrant group of faculty and staff from the Northeast Woodland School in Conway, New Hampshire.
