Spirit-led Education for a Spirit-led Life
by Colleagues of
Developing the self Developing the World
A variety of modules prepared by educators, artists, health practitioners and biodynamic farmers for enlivening spiritual archetypes in the primary school curriculum and the daily life of each child.
The modules are available as a whole course or for individual enrolment. EduCareDo courses are designed for self-paced and self-directed distance learning. Enrol at anytime.
School faculties and parents of homeschool groups are welcome to enquire about group enrolment options.
It is with hope for the future that the colleagues of Developing The Self Developing The World have worked together to form this course, to support the adults of today to consciously work with the adults of tomorrow.
What in the heart of education lays the foundation that will make a difference to the individual’s inner life?
The materialistic view of the human being is rapidly increasing in our times, and it seems that only as we begin to lose the seeds of spiritual life, we are becoming aware of the necessity to seek how to maintain these foundations.
Working with the health-giving indications that Rudolf Steiner gifted to educators brings true nourishment, balance and harmony to the task of education in a world where materialistic, specialised academic fields of study still dominate the landscape of education and humanity as a whole.
Each member of the community contributes to the spiritual foundations that lay the ground for the child to grow into an adult who connects deeply with the world surrounding them.
The course content helps to support and guide children and in doing so the opportunity arises to assess and re-establish one’s own ground from which a spirit-led life grows.

Prerequisite and Expectations
The content is written with an expectation that the reader has a willingness to …. Some of the lessons assume an understanding of the threefold human constitution, the twelve senses and temperaments. These are part of the Foundations in Anthroposophy Course and are available for individual enrolment.
Exercises and questions accompany each lesson that allow the participant to enter more deeply into the content while also engaging with their own questions and life circumstances. Keeping a journal as you work through the lesson content can be a great support. There is a Diary Sheet at the end of each lesson which serves as a form of communication with a tutor and can be very useful to receive individual feedback, comments and engage in new questions.
Like all the EduCareDo year-long courses, you can work to your own schedule and deepen your areas of interest. By engaging your time, energy and attention, the content can be furthered individually through your questions and experiences.
