Learn how to make a Waldorf style ‘Heavy Baby’ doll
Heavy Babies are bunting type dolls with simple facial features made with a unique combination of wool and millet stuffing. The millet gives the doll weight that mimics the feel of a real baby. Great for the toddlerwho wants to lift heavy items from place to place. This weight also has a settling and reassuring quality for those children who need extra sensory help.
Cost: $45 to make one doll (or $30 to make two dolls: one to take home and one to donate to the Waldorf School’s Annual Farm & Craft Fair).

with visiting Eurythmist, Athena Boyer
Join us for an opportunity for self-development with this adults-only Eurythmy class every Thursday in April with visiting Eurythmist, Athena Boyer. Eurythmy is an expressive movement art originated by Rudolf Steiner in conjunction with Marie von Sivers in the early 20th century. Primarily a performance art, it is also used in education, especially in Waldorf schools, and as a movement therapy.
Rudolf Steiner has given us the wonderful healing gift of eurythmy. To stand before a child we must become a healthy representative of the archetypal human being. For it is who and what we are that the children will imitate and learn from, not from what we know in our heads alone. The experience and practice of eurythmy is invaluable for our own self-development as individuals. The word eurythmy stems from Greek roots meaning beautiful or harmonious rhythm; the term was used by Greek and Roman architects to refer to the harmonious proportions of a design or building.
Class is free but donations are warmly appreciated. For more information, call 520.529.1032 or email us

Watercolor Workshop with Leo Klein
2013-03-27 19:00 - 20:30 | River Bend Campus, 3605 East River Road, Tucson, AZ, 85718, United States
Leo Klein, a self-taught Dutch artist and educator, spends a few months each year traveling the U.S. and mentoring teachers and parents in schools across the nation. Leo Klein exhibits widely in the Netherlands and North America. His work is found in private collections in many countries. “It is the task of art to change the world. With every artwork we create something in the world that does not get lost. Through art we develop the ability to transform something of a lower quality into a higher one. My paintings are created out of this mood and awareness. They carry the title ‘Healing the Earth.’” -Leo Klein

Film | Race to Nowhere

The Dark Side of America’s Achievement Culture
Back by popular demand, this documentary provides an intimate view of the pressure on today’s students who lead lives packed with activities leaving little room for down-time. This film reveals the silent epidemic in the nation’s schools: cheating is commonplace, students are disengaged, and stress-related illness and depression are rampant. Young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.
