From the Nature Table to the Night Sky

Mother Earth for hands and hearts, Star for story and archetype, Moon for inner life, Sun for illumination, and Journey to the Compass Rose for True Self Awakening.

Welcome

My name is Melanie

I am a Waldorf teacher on the Alabama Gulf Coast. Seed & Scholaria is where I keep the stories, seasonal work and lesson guides I make for young children, and the study and inner work I do as the adult who teaches them.

Take what is useful, and come back when the season changes.
