Hi
I am processing thru some things from my experiences with the school and wondering if there are others who attended and can relate.
I hope so ,

I haven’t been to a Waldorf School... but I would like to know your experience.

It's rather hard to define. I went two years; kindergarten (in California) and 2nd grade (in New Mexico).
Some of it was cool- totally lax, a lot of coloring, making things like beeswax candles, knitting needles, and then knitting a recorder bag
, learning to play the recorder.
But then there were the festivals, the connecting with higher beings, the lantern spirals...
It would be good to connect with others.

I have not attended a waldorf school but waldorf is really big in the area where I live so I'm somewhat familiar with the culture. I have not had too many negative experiences with it. I have dabbled in things along the lines of "connecting with higher beings" like you mentioned in one of the responses. I have had some negative and positive experience with that. I think my negative experiences were colored by background of being abused. Okay, I'll just come out and say it - I have dabbled with native american shamanism. But now, I will not journey on my own, only when I'm in a group setting. I'm not sure if that is somewhat along the lines of what you are hinting at.
