Discovering Waldorf is a weekly series of articles written by ‘everyday’ Waldorf families. The contributors to this series share their ‘real-life’ insights and inspirations on all kinds of Waldorf topics.

If you have a topic you wish to learn more about (or want to share) on Discovering Waldorf, send me an email at www.themagiconions@gmail.com
Blessings and magic,
