Ep. 25 Whole-Child Wisdom: Educating the Soul w/ Chloe Makowski
In this rich, heart-centered episode, Waldorf educator Chloe Makowski helps us to explore the principles of whole-child education—and how they mirror the inner education of the soul. We talk about the power of rhythm, story, ritual, and connection to the natural world, not only for children but for re-educating the child within each of us. This is a deep dive into the transformative potential of teaching with reverence, intention, and joy.
