Testimonials
Thank you Donna for coming to Houston and giving the
workshop on Waldorf and Home Schooling. Before you came I was struggling
with the application of Waldorf ideals in real life. You gave us very
practical information that I could use both for my home schooling but
surprisingly also for other relationships. I especially appreciated the
experience you brought that you gained from working with challenging
situations such as the troubled youth and mentally and physically
challenged. I needed to hear that this approach is not only for those who
fit a certain mold, but also that it is very effective as a therapeutic tool
for anyone. I am so much more relaxed and confident now. The workshop was
like one big deep breath of relief. It is good to think of having your
support next year since I plan on making use of the consultation package.
Thank you again for all that you have done and I'm sure will continue to do.

Donna recently visited where she got us to relax and
breathe about Waldorf in homeschooling and home life. I am going to toot
Donna and Christopherus' horn here and say that if you get a chance to have
her come, please do it. She is a wise and wonderful woman to know and has so
much peace and knowledge to share.

I came away from the workshop this weekend with tons of new tools to help me
better guide my daughter in her journey to awakening. I felt that the
information that you gave us was priceless and gave us a new paradigm within
which to frame our ideas of homeschooling and education in general. Your
experience and knowledge of the Waldorf philosophy give you a confidence and
ease of speaking that is very comforting to us who are just shifting into
this mode of thinking.
Thank you so much for coming out and offering us this opportunity.

As a homeschooling mother of 4 (soon to be 5) children
with the oldest 6 1/2 yrs old, I have been anxious about how I would be able
to infuse Waldorf into our homeschooling, and lives, without causing burnout
for myself. The greatest gem that I took in from the workshop, is the idea
(and real examples) of how to understand the principles and developmental
aspects underlying the Waldorf curriculum, and blend them into your own life
to create a unique experience of Waldorf in your home. I am just beginning
on this homeschool path and have much to learn and experience, but I now
feel more relaxed and confident about the journey.
Blessings, Kristina Kahney
