Nearly a century after his death, the work of Rudolf Steiner has influenced educational systems so deeply that Waldorf schools have become one of the largest independent school movements in the world.
Clinical psychologist and Anthroposophy scholar Edmund Knighton explores parenting challenges, growing smart kids the Waldorf way and how he was meant to teach kids this week on Spirit Gym.
Learn more about Edmund’s work on his website, where you can request a free 15-minute consultation. Join Edmund and Jared Pickard at the Be Human program in February 2025.
For Spirit Gym members: Edmund will be holding a very special live Q&A session (to be announced) exclusively for Spirit Gym members. Sign up for a Spirit Gym podcast membership, so you can access members-only extended versions of the podcast along with exclusive Q&A opportunities with Paul and his guests.
