The Anthroposophy and Christianity Connection

What is Anthroposophy anyway?

This is a big topic that can be quite confusing for many people. Especially if you’re searching online and finding many contradicting statements.

So here goes…

Anthroposophy is a spiritual philosophy founded by Rudolf Steiner, born out of his deep knowledge and experience of both Theosophy and Anthropology. Anthroposophy means Wisdom of the Human Being and is fundamentally a study of the human being: our nature, development, and soul/spiritual task. Rudolf Steiner maintained that every human being (Anthropos) has the inherent wisdom (Sophia) to solve the riddles of existence and evolve as individuals and a collective.

In other words, Anthroposophy is a Spiritual Path.
​

To add to the confusion, many people discover Anthroposophy because it has been applied to initiatives that they are a part of. In these scenarios, Anthroposophy is found as the bedrock of various initiatives such as Waldorf education, Biodynamic farming, Medicine, Curative education, Eurythmy, the Christian Community, and Architecture.

So, does this mean my kids are taught Anthroposophy if I send them to a Waldorf school?

The Gift of Boredom for Children

We're not exactly psychic, but we can predict that your children will complain that they are bored and bicker with their siblings (if they have some) at least ten times during the summer. So we are here to highlight the amazing work that is taking place behind these annoying scenes. 

Long summer days can offer so many wonderful opportunities for family time and activities that we forget to honour the downtime. Children hardly get unstructured time these days. When they do, it can be met with complaints and loud, uncomfortable noises. As parents, our first inclination is to stop that noise however we can. When we remember that boredom is the doorway to creativity, we give ourselves permission to sit back and wait for the magic to happen.

Things that can come out of boredom...​

The Importance of Free Play

More and more parents understand the importance of free, unstructured play for children. However, in our highly structured and driven society, they are working against the grain, in a way. These families have to work extra hard to maintain their values and navigate away from the overuse of screens and electronic toys that take away all the wonder.

At first, if your child is not used to free, unstructured play, it can be difficult for them to sink into something joyful and absorbing. In some ways, it requires a “detox” from the toys and distractions of our modern world. Many popular toys for children today involve electronics: these toys beep, buzz, flash, and talk. On the surface, they seem very exciting and engaging, but one quickly realizes that they lack deeply nourishing engagement with wonder and creativity. Furthermore, they become a source of frustration because they easily break, or the batteries die quickly. They can also be quite disturbing to the nervous system of the child. These toys can overload the senses with sounds and visuals. And let’s not forget the disturbance to the nervous systems of those in the room (like stressed out moms)!
