STUDY GROUP FOR PARENTS
The study group for parents and other interested people who want to find out more about the philosophy behind the education, will continue this term. The theme is “An introduction to Anthroposophy and Rudolf Steiner’s insights into the nature of the human being” Newcomers are welcome. As many people find it hard to commit to a series of evenings, this term each session will be self-contained, so please feel free to come to just one of the sessions. The theme will be “The Four Temperaments as they manifest in the Lower School and the Seven Planetary Types as they manifest in Adolescence”
The study group is hosted by Christian and Astrid Maclean and will take place on the following:
Monday evenings: March 2 and 16. Time 7.30 – 9 pm. Place 3a Tipperlinn Road, Edinburgh EH10 5ET. For further information please contact Astrid Maclean via the school office or by phone on 447 2005 (evenings).
