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.

Each month Lyn Clifton offers another wonderful workshop in the Mantles of Care series. Last month the group started to make their own care basket and new comers can be assisted to start this process. Ear compresses will be added to the basket this month and we will discuss the relationship of the senses to the ear and its care.

In considering the child under 7yo we will discuss and experience seasonal applications and age appropriate healthy rhythms through caring for the whole person. We will start to add to our basket.

This study group has come about since the School Program.

It is for parents, caregivers, teachers and other interested persons in the Byron & Lismore Shires.

A healthy relationship to gender and sexuality supports our wellbeing, both as individuals and as a community. The form of sex education that we bring to children and adolescents not only needs to combat the inner disturbances and imbalances created by social media and exposure to pornography – as the most prevalent sources of implicit sex-education in our time – but it also needs to serve them in cultivating useful capacities with which to meet the growing societal changes around this fundamental aspect of being human.

Providing a healthy and socially constructive sex education is the responsibility not only of the primary caregivers, parents, and teachers, but also of the individuals in the wider community, who likewise contribute to the collective consciousness.

Melanie Deefholts meets with parents of Perriwinkle Preschool to speak about child development.
