What is Advent? What is an Advent Spiral?
We have just entered into the season of Advent.

This seasonal remembrance of light takes place in many cultures across the globe. At our Waldorf school, we mark this season with weekly Advent spiral walks.
Martinmas - A Path to our Inner Light

It can be a time to look forward to, with its opportunity to know ourselves in a deeper way. Waldorf schools mark this season of inner searching with three fall festivals to help guide us on this path of introspection.
