When I thought about creating this season of episodes it dawned on me, how bringing Waldorf into the home will really be different in every house hold. Yes, there are things like some Waldorf kids watch a little more TV than others, but that was not the kind of different I was thinking of. I wanted to explore how Waldorf ideas and methods were incorporated into family traditions that aren’t included in a traditional Waldorf school year. How can traditions from all around the world be brought into the Waldorf fold? This is exactly what I discuss in this episode with guest Ashley May. Ashley eloquently describes what drew her into Waldorf. We discuss ways Waldorf ideas seamlessly came into her home with her young children and the ways which they did not.Ashley May is an independent educational researcher and the founder of The Grassroots Morning Garden Project. Her work focuses on early childhood, progressive pedagogies, identity development, and cognition--centering the experiences of underserved children, families, and communities. Ashley’s current work concerns immigrant origin children and families, exploring their experiences through a critical lens. Utilizing counter narratives, Ashley aims to reclaim the circle as a site of resistance--working with families to co-create meaningful experiences for their children.Additional show notes and resources for this episode can be found at: https://waldorfy.com/waldorfinthemuslimhome Theme music composed and performed by Book Kennison.
