"Eurythmy morning sessions and Workshop: Eurythmy as a support for inner development"
I work in Cape Town as a lecturer of Educational Eurythmy at the Kairos Eurythmy Training. I teach workshop sessions at conferences and since 2004 have facilitated a regular weekly class for adults in Cape Town. My love for children led me to teach eurythmy in a number of schools in Cape Town and currently I teach the children at the Starseed Community school in Muizenberg. In 2019, I attended the Waldorf 100 / East Africa 30 celebrations at the Mbagathi Waldorf School in Nairobi where I worked with a group of Primary School children to present eurythmy and I led a eurythmy workshop. I look forward to welcoming you to the morning eurythmy sessions where we experience the potency of community.
