“You will not be good teachers if you focus only on what you do and not upon who you are.”
-Rudolf Steiner

Hello! I am so pleased that you have come across this website - whether it was for inspiration, love for the arts, for your children, or because you are an educator yourself. No matter what your motivation is, you have found yourself here and there is a reason for that! My hope is that all who experience my courses will become connected to others who share similar passions. I want people to feel inspired in ways that feed their souls. To start that connection, I’d like to tell you a little bit about me and what has brought me to where I am today.
Growing up in Oregon, I have many fond childhood memories of playing in the fern filled woods, loving hippies and counter cultures, and growing up with the awareness that people need to feel free to express themselves! Unfortunately life took its toll at a very young age for me. After many life events, both tragic and transformative, I was awakened to my true calling - to be a Waldorf teacher. Currently I am teaching adults and children online, and I am the lead teacher at Fern Village School, a Kindergarten/Preschool in Springfield, Oregon. Previously I have taught Waldorf grades 1-4 (multiple years) and have taught in special education for three years.
For me, being a part of the Waldorf community means being a part of social renewal. Helping to guide children and adults in a way that allows them to feel seen and allows them to express their true selves is healing in itself. One of the beautiful things about teaching, is that I can create a safe place where children and adults have a chance to connect to their core and grow from there. I hope to see you on your own creative journey, whether that be through one of my courses or elsewhere in the world! Many blessings to you.
With love and light,
Anna Persson
