A painted autumn cornfield where a barefoot boy in a golden crown carries a wooden sword and round shield at the head of a procession of children bearing a long green cloth dragon on poles, a small chapel on the hill behind.

Michaelmas

Storytelling and craft workshop, with video recordings and audios

A painted interior where an older child kneels to place a deep pink rose into the cupped hands of a smaller child, other children gathered softly behind in warm window light.

Opening Rose Ceremony

A cherished Waldorf milestone — a living ritual marking the transition into the new school year.

A painted hillside where a young knight in a white surcoat with a red cross stands with his lance lowered over a great green and red dragon lying subdued in the grass, the king's daughter loosening her girdle beside a rock and a crowd watching from the town gate.

St. George and the Dragon

The victory of human light over fear and inner drag — storytelling scripts, felted dragon patterns, sword crafting and Michaelmas bread.

A painted farmyard interior where a russet hen stands with a grain of wheat in her beak, a sheaf and a millstone behind her and a brown loaf cooling on a cloth, while a dog, a cat and a mouse lie idle in the straw and her chicks gather at her feet.

The Little Red Hen

The alchemical law of Coctio — nourishment and baking — through puppet storytelling, verse and hands-on bread baking with young children.
