Dear Friends, 

We have several inspiring courses this school year, continuing our work to support people working and volunteering in Waldorf schools.  200 people from over 40 schools have participated in our board courses for Waldorf School trustees - a significant step towards our goal of helping every Waldorf board member get training and orientation that prepares them to serve their school in exceptional ways.


All our courses, and some new ones too, are listed on the flyer below. Come join us!



And consider joining us in our Art of Administration Leadership Courses next summer - in person on Whidbey Island, WA, in Freeport, Maine and also online. Registration will begin in January. 


We continue to be busy with our advisory, coaching, and mentoring work. We are making ourselves available for a conversation (free of charge) for anyone who could use some support. If you are interested, please email us at mhsoule@gmail.com . We would be happy to speak with you. In these times of great inner and outer disruption, we encourage you to continue your inner practices and seek others to speak with to find the insights and courage you need for this important work.

Please visit our resource center  leadtogether.org for more resources.
