by Karen Atkinson, Director of Renewal Courses, Center for Anthroposophy Summer is a sacred time in the rhythm of the year—a chance to rest, reflect, and prepare. At the heart of this season, we invite you to step into an experience designed not only to replenish your spirit, but to deepen your relationship with Waldorf education and anthroposophy through community, conversation, and the arts. Renewal Courses with Center for Anthroposophy are week-long professional development seminars open to Waldorf educators, administrators, parents, trustees, artists, and seekers alike. Whether you are new to Waldorf education or a long-time practitioner, Renewal Courses offer a space to engage meaningfully with your path, your practice, and a vibrant community of others who are seeking the same goal. This summer, choose from a wide variety of in-depth courses—available both in-person and online—offered over two independent weeks. From preparing for Grades 1–8, to exploring the Waldorf Journey from Grades 1-12, Renewal Courses provide the practical tools, philosophical depth, and human connection that help you grow both personally and professionally. Each course offers: Each day begins in community: Additional offerings at Renewal are a time to go deeper. Highlights include: If you attend in person, you’ll have access to a rich array of self-care opportunities—your chance to truly rest, replenish, and nourish your work-life balance. Choose from: Because we believe that who you are matters, and in caring for ourselves, we care more deeply for those in our schools and communities. Renewal Courses are where connection, courage, and creativity meet. Whether you’re preparing to teach or seeking spiritual and artistic nourishment, there’s a place for you in the Renewal Community. Let this summer be a time to reconnect with your purpose, your path, and the shared journey of Waldorf education. We can’t wait to welcome you!
