Years ago some friends of mine (who had homeschooled their kids in the Waldorf tradition) did a version of this after Halloween with pumpkins. They lined the pond on their property with the pumpkins and invited children to walk along it. I understand what you mean by things staying with you. I’m sorry about the bad experience at the school, though. It’s sad that that can happen!
Oh wow! That was such a lovely surprise! Thank you for the shoutout.
And I love the practice of a lantern walk. Very cool way to connect yourself to the idea of being or finding the light in the darkness. And being happy to do so with song! Looking forward to checking out the link to the recording!
Delightful reminiscence but left feeling a bit sad. There truly doesn’t seem to be the perfect educational atmosphere. Even in homeschooling I find this to be true. I often have thought to myself that if I could do it over, I would have tried Waldorf. I’m still found of the idea but you never know fully how things run behind the scenes. It makes me more sad for you. 😞

How lovely. My son does this at his school in Basel. All the songs are in German and the kids seem to sing them all year long!
