The Beauty and Wonder of Waldorf – The Sunday Parenting Party linky

Today I am absolutely delighted to be welcoming the lovely Kelly, creator of Happy Whimsical Hearts, to the blog. Today Kelly is sharing some thoughts about Waldorf, a philosophy which has fascinated me for a long time. I adore the handmade toys, the emphasis placed on nature and the changing seasons, and the calm, gentle rhythm of the Waldorf lifestyle. I’ve learnt so much from reading Happy Whimsical Hearts, and I’m beyond happy that Kelly is here today. Thank you Kelly!

Waldorf is beautiful

And I don’t just mean the trappings of Waldorf…
{although these are very beautiful too}
{Outside at our Waldorf Playgroup}
I mean the deeper stuff ~ the moments of beauty leading to wonder
{and mind you I am still very much learning about Waldorf myself}
The focus on the seasons and nature…
drawing attention to the wheel of the year

And getting in touch with the flow from Spring to Summer…

Autumn to Winter…

Immersing ourselves in the feeling of each season…

The sense of excited expectation as we observe life bursting forth during Spring…

The heavy heat of Summer and the splash of cooling water

{Hot summer days}

Crunching leaves and drawing in the earthy scent of Autumn

And embracing Winter’s chilly freshness

Celebrating the seasonal changes with crafting and baking
Using fruits and vegetables that are in season
Picking them off the bush or pulling them from the ground

Nurturing a connection with nature’s rhythm
