Speaking with My Whole Self

Speaking with My Whole Self: Speech Workshop with Christine Burke

Saturday, June 27, 2026 | 9am-3pm

Cost: $175

Through our speech, we impact the world and those around us. Our inner life flows outwards over our vocal cords on our breath, influencing those around us. In earlier times, people had a deeper feeling for the power and importance of the word to do good or to do harm. Today, real communication through the human voice is being undermined. We are losing both the capacity to carry our inner world out on the waves of our words as well as the ability to perceive the other and their inner world through our senses.

Working with speech activities will enliven and strengthen the organs of speech and the ability to carry living pictures, clear thoughts, and forces of the heart in our words. Teachers who use their voice everyday in the classroom will benefit from this care for speech and learn to nourish their students through enlivened descriptions and storytelling.

This workshop is an opportunity to find your voice and is open to anyone who is interested. All levels of experience are welcome.

Christine Burke currently teaches Communication Studies at Ventura College and Logodynamics/The Arts of Speech privately, in groups, at workshops, trainings, and here at BACWTT. Her passion for words began at a young age and has led to and through theater and English literature, a degree in Linguistics, Waldorf teaching in the US and Sweden, Rudolf and Marie Steiner’s “Sprak Gestaltung,” the Michael Chekhov approach to acting, and an MA in Communication Studies focusing on Communication Education, Classical, and Performance Studies.

Please note that this is an in-person event only. A discount is available for group signups. 
Tea, coffee, and snack provided. Please bring your own lunch.

Imagination or Manipulation – a Reflection

On Sunday, June 14th Claus-Peter Roeh gave a talk on the challenges of AI and computer-centered methods for students and educators. Mary Anne Kirkwood has kindly provided her reflections on this talk.

A thoroughly comprehensive talk on the importance of children’s development in ascertaining their own way of knowing through active engagement and application. As Claus-Peter demonstrated by walking us through the early to middle school years as a Waldorf educator, Know for yourself should be aligned right next to the axiom, Know thyself. And Claus-Peter showed us just how the AI-fostered way of educating fails to do this, across the board. 

Unlike what we have in the USA, forward-thinking countries like Sweden and Denmark tried the screen centered and supported education approach which claimed to promote individualized learning in early education, only to discover the drawbacks and severe consequences before making a complete turnaround. Back to the proverbial drawing board, and perhaps in every sense of the term: Human to human is what’s still very much needed.  Lessons learned, but would we listen here in the USA? 

A thoroughly engaging talk on a very important subject–whether one is familiar with Waldorf education or not, the dangers of too much dependency on AI is very real and Claus-Peter’s talk demonstrated this clearly.
