Festivals are times to celebrate the seasons and the rhythm of the year. As nature goes through its cycle of birth, growth, harvest, and sleep to ready for renewal once again, so do we as we celebrate the special gifts of each season.
Glacier Waldorf School celebrates the following school-wide festivals that are usually open to the community:
- Michaelmas in September
- Halloween in October
- Spiral of Light in December
- Candlemas in February
- Spring Equinox in March
- May Fest in May
We also celebrate with our very fun Annual Summer Glacier Park Family Campout in August.
Why is an Anthroposophy Reading Group important to a Waldorf school?
An anthroposophy reading group is a critical spiritual element to the establishment and success of a Waldorf school. The spiritual reading group creates and holds a great deal of the spiritual energy of the school, without really being involved in the school in any other way. The reading group is a profound way to continue and pursue your own spiritual development while spiritually helping the very worthy endeavor of creating a Waldorf school for the children of the Flathead Valley.
