“Parent Training Workshop – Practising perception – Developing understanding – Enabling decision making.”
7.30pm – 9.30pm, Tuesdays 7th, 14th, 21st & 28th March 2017 in the Eurythmy Room at Sophia Mundi School
1 St Heliers St, Abbotsford
Cost $15 per session plus $10 for the manual.
Cheryl Nekvapil and Jennifer West will facilitate these workshops based on the course developed by Kirsten Schreiber* and Christoph Meinecke**, inspired by Rudolf Steiner’s work congruent with contemporary studies and research. Each session consists of shared social experiences (mostly games), reflection on the experiences, information on aspects of parenting, stepping forward into parenting our children today and tomorrow. Learning with the aide of ‘social technologies’ lights up delight and insight – enlivening, as well as instructive. What we cover is relevant for all stages of parenting up to adulthood.
Participants will receive a manual translated from the German edition.
This Workshop will be followed by a series of four sessions in May 2017 – Tuesdays 7.30pm – 9.30pm (2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd ) and in August 2017 (1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd).
