I live in Ryde, on the Isle of Wight and am planning to home
educate my two sons, born March 2004 and September 2006, using a Waldorf
style. We're quite non-mainstream, but not as non-mainstream as we'd like
to be, and we'd like to meet up with other people who want to bring their
children up using Waldorf principles, and who won't think we're strange
because we co-sleep, breastfeed beyond the first year etc!! We're all very
new to a non-mainstream lifestyle so are still finding our way, and would
welcome any new ideas to support us on our journey. Please email

We live in Beeston (Nottingham), a short walk away from the river.
We love going to a (not so nearby) Steiner parent and toddler group and
discovering more about Steiner education and thinking. Being a teacher
myself and a firm believer in life long learning, we're thinking that home
education could be for us. Our nearly 4 year old son is thriving on a TV
free life, full of contact with natural things, storytelling, the
outdoors, baking, gardening, woodwork, crafts etc. and, of course, love.
Is there anybody out there wanting to join us for playtime/snacktime,
walks in the park and sharing what parents have to offer? Lisa:

Nature, nurture, love, gentleness, kindness, prayer, acceptance of others,
etc. We don't allow our kids to generally watch tv, etc. Also, we eat pure
things - organic foods mostly. We are looking for ideally a male playgroup

children as well. If you are interested in a co-op or a day out with other

British Waldorf mom moving to Seattle
in August 2006, homeschooling three children (9/13/95; 12/17/97; 01/23/01) -
love to make contact with other Waldorf inspired homeschoolers with a view
to setting up regular playdates/lesson sharing/festival celebrating. My kids
are all at a Waldorf school in the UK and I'm worried that they may feel
isolated in a new city to begin with - so we'd love to make new friends!
