Parent / Child Play Group

In our parent/child program we offer an opportunity for parents to come with their young children between ages birth to 3 in a special, peaceful setting in community with other families.  Together parents can deepen their understanding of early childhood development through conversations with the teacher and one another. Parents will have the opportunity to engage in simple craft activities while their child plays.  This allows parents the chance to observe their child from a distance and to connect with other parents.  Observation is the key to deepening our understanding of our children, so we will use every opportunity to allow them to teach us!

Topics of conversation will include things such as creative discipline, daily and weekly rhythms in the home, ideas for healthy activities, and creating a home environment that is supportive of your child's changing needs.

Life as a Work of Art

Becoming Who We Are

Participants will explore the unique thread that runs through their own life story (biography).  Specifically, how the rhythms and patterns of our life can be examined through art making and conversation, giving deeper meaning to our human condition. Exploring ones biography--past, present and expectations of the future--leads to a richer understanding of oneself.   What intentions do we bring forward and what comes towards us as we grow? Can we see the challenges and resistances we face as learning opportunities? 

Awakening meaningful understandings of the self--in a co-created way--encourages a genuine engagement with life.

Facilitator:  Paul Gebhardt is the parent of two Waldorf school students, a founding member of the Heartfelt School and faculty member at the Maine College of Art. Currently a student at the Center for Biography and Social Art, Paul has over 15 years of experience working with communities and individuals as an educator, creative practitioner and facilitator.
