Handwork and the 12 Senses: Educating the Whole Child
This conference will be a balance between live teaching, discussions, practical work, and pre-recorded videos. Learn about the 12 senses of touch, life, self-movement, balance, smell, taste, sight, temperature/warmth, hearing, language, thought, and ego. How do these 12 senses develop as children grow? How can we support our student's development through handwork?
​
Multiple sessions, (Saturday mornings in your part of the world / Friday evenings for us), live teaching in your time zone. For teachers in schools, homeschool, and other educational settings.
