Working with Health and Illness at Home

Events in USA, Caring for Health

Working with Health and Illness at Home

Working with Health and Illness at Home
part of a 3-part series of workshops on supporting health and illness at home
with Sarah Mecca
at Sun Heart Farm in Stephentown, NY
10am to 4pm

Cost:
$25 USD ($40 AUD) paid to EduCareDo with registration below
(paid once whether attending 1, 2, or all 3 workshops)
+ sliding scale contribution in-person: $40-75/workshop

Meeting rich and diverse experiences of health and illness support the child’s journey of growth and development towards inner freedom in adulthood. While we need to consciously support their unfolding, at the same time we must tread lightly, so as to not interfere in the potential fruits that may naturally unfold for them through their experiences of health and illness. Our conscious activity of reverence serves them on this journey.

In addition to offerings on this workshop theme, each workshop will include a nourishing meal, the opportunity to both receive and learn how to offer therapeutic treatments at home and gain familiarity with some home remedies, space for individual reflection, experiential exercises and group conversation. Each workshop will deepen and build upon the pre-reading Supporting Inner Freedom in the Young Child through Health and Illness (a lesson in the EduCareDo Early Childhood Course). While the workshops are aimed at supporting parents and caregivers in the home, the workshop content and experience will also be relevant for those interested in deepening their relationship to their own experiences of health and illness as well as those caring for other adults. The workshop content will unfold and adapt to meet the questions and interests of the participants. 

This day-long workshop is offered through Developing the Self Developing the World and is open to all. You can attend 1, 2 or all 3 workshops (other two workshops are Feb 23 (Working with Preventative Healthcare at Home) and March 23 (Supporting Nourishment - Body, Soul and Spirit).

All three workshops will take place at Sun Heart Farm in Stephentown, New York.
Childcare available on-site.

Even though we may recognize the deep meaningfulness of illness for growth and development and for the strengthening of both child and caregiver, that is not to say that all illness processes are necessary or unavoidable. By fostering good health we can support greater balance and harmony without having to traverse every illness process ‘available’. As adults, we have to know how to perceive and evaluate the wellness or imbalance of our own system in order to support this development in the young child. By cultivating and deepening our own relationship to rest and to harmonizing therapeutic applications we can more potently facilitate these experiences for the young children in our care.

In addition to offerings on each workshop theme, the days will include a nourishing meal, the opportunity to both receive and learn how to offer therapeutic treatments at home and to gain familiarity with some home remedies. There will also be space for individual reflection, experiential exercises and group conversation. Each workshop will deepen and build upon the pre-reading Supporting Inner Freedom in the Young Child through Health and Illness (a lesson in the EduCareDo Early Childhood Course).

+ sliding scale contribution in-person: $40-75/workshop

In this workshop we will look at different aspects of nutrition in the life of the young child. We will consider the ‘earthly nutrition’ of food in the life of the young child – recognizing that by observing a child’s relationship to eating and food preferences we can gain insight into their constitutional tendencies and needs and ask the question of how we could bring greater balance and diversity to the nutrition of the young child. We will also explore the ‘cosmic nutrition’ of all that they absorb through their senses as well as the influence of their unseen environment, particularly the world of thoughts, feelings, and will impulses of the adults that surround them.

In addition to offerings on each workshop theme, the days will include a nourishing meal, the opportunity to both receive and learn how to offer therapeutic treatments at home and gain familiarity with some home remedies, and space for individual reflection, experiential exercises and group conversation. Each workshop will deepen and build upon the pre-reading Supporting Inner Freedom in the Young Child through Health and Illness (a lesson in the EduCareDo Early Childhood Course).

Parent Education for Classes 4-12

This program offered by Developing the Self Developing the World brings anthroposophy to help understand relationships and the responsibility of community in raising children and working together to promote individual wellbeing.

We look at how and when we work with children and adolescents to bring the understanding of sexuality and gender in relation to where they are in their consciousness. This brings harmony between the evolving body and inner experiences that sets the ground for healthy adult experience.

It speaks to some of main issues confronting child health and wellbeing in current times, with examples of how we can counter the unbalancing effects. We also address how to understand gender differences and similarities that both limit or free us and the contribution and struggles of the changing social structures around gender and sexuality affecting us all.

回應科技時代的挑戰
——以靈性帶領社群進入未來

Responding to the Challenges in the Age of Technology; Spirit-led Community – Moving into the Future

Community or society consists of individuals; each person is an indispensable part of it. Individual's thoughts, feelings and consciousness affects the quality of the group's work. Inter-personal relationship and interactions shapes the appearance and atmosphere of the community. Who leads the community? -- a single leader? a core group (centered power)? or other forces?

How to formulate the directions of a certain community? In the age of materialism and individualism, everyone stands on their  own footholds to form their respective worldviews which get increasingly firm and unmovable, while the specialization (professional divison) getting increasingly detailed and divided. What can connect among the individualized views? What can transcend personal differences and uniqueness?

From individual's point of view, why do I join a certain community? What does my relationship with the community mean to my life? How can I development myself so that I become like a healthily enlivened cell to support the community become stronger and more resillent? In what ways do the technology impact personal and community development?

Spirit-led Childhood: Enkindling the Flame of Our Hearts to Meet the Children of Today

An online international conference over 3 days in February.

The conference offers a deepening awareness towards understanding the essential spiritual foundations that underlie a spirit-led life. Through education, we can work with the unfolding future in the present moment, creatively and with guidance from the spirit. As the next generations become more individualised, our task in education grows to meet them.

We will explore how we can work to perceive the child as an unfolding individual through stages of growth and development from early childhood  to adolescence. Educators, health practitioners, artists and gardeners work together to offer workshops for weaving life into the curriculum to support future generations towards a living relationship with the spirit as they grow and develop throughout their adult life.

Day 1 and Day 2 of the conference has a keynote and 2 sessions with workshops. Each day opens at 8am Saturday/Sunday (Sydney, Australia) which is 4pm Friday/ Saturday in New York.
Day 3 of the conference begins 2 hours earlier and has a keynote only (no workshops).

Open the Conference Schedule in Australian timezones

All welcome. We will support whole school faculties to participate according to your school’s needs. We encourage you to please reach out if fee supplementation is required.

The fee is charged in Australian dollars and converts to local currency through the registrants financial institution. $75 AUD/ ~$52 USD.

Parzival and the Hermit - told by Séamus Maynard

The encounter in this excerpt traverses a pivotal event in the Parzival legend. The story leads us alongside Parzival into an experience of the potential to deepen our commitment to our highest ideals, while also facing all of that which has led us astray from that striving. In recognition of the Easter mystery, this offering is given freely to the community by members of Developing the Self Developing the World.

All are welcome ages 15 and up

Along with 3 keynotes by Lisa Romero, our team of educators, artists, and health professionals from Australia and the USA will be providing various workshops that will focus on Early Childhood, Primary School, and High School. This conference welcomes educators, parents, homeschool parents, and caregivers.

As the forms of education undergo the shifts and changes of our current world situation there is a call that can be heard by many. It is a call for a spirit-led education through which the truth of the human being can be given what is essential for their path.

There are certain forces bestowed in the growing child that prepare them to engage in life that are connected to their inner life and the spiritual world, and not only to the material, sensory life. It is these forces that allow us to recognise the reality stated by Rudolf Steiner that “nothing but the will to live life in a spiritual way, the will to allow spiritual decisions and spiritual motivations, to play a part in what we do in the physical world, can make humanity truly healthy again”. As material life intensifies, these forces will be more rapidly extinguished unless they are consciously held and renewed by the adults surrounding the growing child.

Preventive health care for the young child is fundamentally based on providing a health-giving environment because they rely upon others for nourishment and are yet to develop boundaries from their surroundings. Illness can arise when the child does not have the strength to deal with what enters them.

Artificial intelligence has become a part of every environment within which the young child is united. However children lack discernment of the Sense of Self and Other. By applying rhythmical and natural health-giving applications to the senses and through the skin we can balance the effects of technology and support each child towards wholistic wellbeing.

This hands-on workshop introduces anthroposophic preventative health care applications to the skin that can be carried into the daily rhythms of the classroom and home life. These practises can be adapted and extended to suit the individual, classroom and family needs. They build healthy practises of self-care for life that help to maintain wellbeing while also developing a healthy sense of Self and care for the other.

Each participant will be required to bring some basic equipment such as towels, hot water bottle and lemon to partake in the workshop. The experience can be assistive for participants heading into sleep as well as for those re-aligning with oneself for the day.

This workshop is within the Developing the Self the Developing the World Health and Wellbeing Program: Healing the Impacts of Technology - Care and Development of the Senses which begins in early childhood. Children and adults are supported towards capacities for community-orientated participation in the world. Contact us for additional workshops that support older children and adults.

Anthroposophy, as a science, embraces spiritual, social, emotional, cognitive and physical aspects of the human being.
