Eurythmy Performances in San Francisco

By

Saturday February 15 and Sunday 16, 2025

“A Shovel of Stars Overhead: Where to? What next?” embodies the longing, questioning, and bewilderment that belong to this moment in America, while asking where, from whom, and how something greater can come to be. The program is inspired by the words and compositions of a diversity of artists who poignantly reflect the tensions of their own time. These include the beloved and influential Langston Hughes, statesman Archibald MacLeish, the modern lyric Denise Levertov, and great American bard Walt Whitman.

The Eurythmy Association in North America EANA is facilitating this San Francisco performance of the Eurythmy Spring Valley Ensemble with their current touring program.

*Please note that due to the different venue, tickets available at the door are extremely limited and we recommend ordering ahead through http://ticketsource.us/eana so you will have a seat.

By

Saturday, January 11, 2025 | 9am-3pm

Bay Area Center for Waldorf Teacher Training, 3800 Clark Road, El Sobrante, CA 94803

Explore pathways to story making and storytelling that strengthen heart wisdom and inspire vital creative confidence. Teachers and parents today need to nourish their own inner life to fully embody the comforting warmth, stability, and honest goodness that children seek. This requires courage and belief in the value of our own authentic feelings and voice.

Nancy teaches refreshing approaches to inspired story making and storytelling that evolve more conscious expression, heartfelt resilience, and wellbeing for both adults and children! All are welcome. 

Nancy Mellon is a counselor and mentor who has nurtured storytelling of a healing art internationally since the 1990s. A former Waldorf teacher, her courses and workshops brim with creativity, inspiring deep listening and vital new perspectives. She is the author of several books, including Storytelling with Children. Healing Storytelling, the new third edition of Storytelling and the Art of Imagination, is published by Hawthorn Press UK. healingstory.com
