Testimonies from our In-Person Participants

"This Waldorf training was absolutely incredible—truly inspiring, deeply educational, and beautifully delivered. It was rich with wisdom and practical knowledge, and I felt fully supported throughout the experience. Every question I had was answered with care and depth, and I left with even more insight than I could have hoped for. I now feel renewed, inspired, and fully prepared to step into the fourth-grade year with confidence and clarity. With all the resources and guidance shared, this training has been a transformative and empowering experience. I’m so grateful for the opportunity."

"Renewal delivers every time! I come in hoping for inspiration, new materials, revisions of old material, community, new perspectives, and collective spirit - but no expectation! My inner mood is one of a mostly empty cup that’s seeking to be refilled while sharing my remaining drops with others seeking the same - and collectively that seems to happen every year. I have been in person and online and always walk away with a cup that’s overflowing! Thank you to everyone who makes these weeks possible - if only we could engage the entire world in this way it’s the salve we all need!"

"Center for Anthroposophy has been an oasis in the midst of summer planning. It has provided fuel to the flame that fosters my work as a Waldorf Teacher. From art, to singing to all of the details of content and curriculum-they have delivered it all masterfully. Bravo! I will be coming back again and again!" ~ Anna Masters

"I couldn’t have dreamt of a more potent week. (Participant from The Waldorf Journey Grades 1-12)."

"The Renewal course at the Centre for Anthroposophy is always deep and rich. Anthroposophy is reflected in the Leadership and Teachers in a living, flexible, inspiring way. I return to the Centre for Anthroposophy again and again as I prepare to meet the upcoming year of teaching, as the learning offered helps me remember what I am doing and why, and what it means to be a Waldorf Teacher." ~ Torrey MacGrego

"This program was inspiring and truly offered space for renewal. The campus is calm and beautiful, the meals were delicious and healthy, and I left feeling prepared to create for my students. Thank you!" ~ Khadeeja Abdul-Jabbar

"I am absolutely humbled and grateful for having had the chance to join a renewal course. The conversations during the meals with so many people that carry the impulse, the work out of Anthroposophy, the enthusiasm and the willingness to engage and strive to be better human beings. The course for High school and Adolescents was nothing but inspiring and helpful for my work. We had great conversations, shared, gained insights and gathered many tools for my time in the classroom. Thank You! " ~Sarah Schreck

"Gathering among fellow teachers and making new connections atop a hill surrounded by mystical mountains and deep wise forests, opens a healing space for healing education. A beautiful place with beautiful human beings where renewal takes place." ~ Alicia Chang

"Renewal offered an enlivening chance to go deep and unpack a great deal all while keeping spirits joyful. I am truly grateful for all the singing and course nourishment. Thank you." ~Bronwen Prosper

"Renewal was a wonderful course! The quality of instruction was outstanding. It felt fulfilling, meaningful, and focused. The engagement of all of the participants in our grades was wonderful and collegiate, and our cohort intends to stay in touch throughout the year."

"This year’s Renewal was truly a renewal of myself, of my teaching, of my thinking, of my ability to relate to my colleagues, my school, my students and Waldorf Education. Thank you for providing a fertile ground where good seeds for learning and teaching can take root."

I'm so excited and grateful to be in this wonderful and amazing program interacting and connecting with amazing people, I can't plan to miss the next." ~Magesa George

"A breath of fresh air that has been so inspiring!"
