The Spiral of Light is a quiet and peaceful way to commemorate the start of the holiday season. It serves as a gentle pause from the busyness and materialism that the season can sometimes bring. To set the mood, a beautiful, intricate spiral of evergreen boughs is laid out on the ground lined with stars. As families gather in a circle around it a hush fills the space with anticipation. Children then bring their candles to the “candle of life” in the center of the spiral where a spiritual helper stands ready to assist them and light candles. To complete the journey, children carefully walk outward and place the candles on stars along the spiral. This peaceful and contemplative ritual is accompanied by music, and the spirit of wonder and awe fills the space as we slowly see the one candle lighting the many, turning into a galaxy of stars. Many  traditions around the world celebrate the holidays in this way of lighting candles in the night, and this is our way of honoring the light that shines in all of us.

This year the World Family School will be celebrating in a wonderful open air barn setting in South Bozeman. Please bring a warm beverage for your family, dress to be outside. Bring a sturdy candle for your child in a safe container or apple for them to carry the candle.

In mid November we celebrate an evening of light, wonder, and inspiration. The Lantern Walk is a simple, light and song filled evening bringing to life for our children their role as a spark of light in the darkness- a spark of light in the world. Walking peacefully with our handmade lanterns we sing songs that encourage us to be that warmth and light for ourselves and others. Martinmas celebrates hope and kindness and being called to help others and the good in the world. Let our Lantern Walk inspire and rekindle the light that lives within, and remind us to take that light, those gifts that each of us harbor, and share them in the many ways that are meaningful to ourselves and those around us.

We are excited to join in celebration with a Michaelmas festival here in Bozeman. Join us for cape making, sword making, dragon bread, story time and a puppet show to celebrate with Waldorf schools around the world. The celebration of this holiday teaches the importance of facing fears and strengthen resave. Michaelmas falls near the Autumn equinox, marking the end of harvest and Summer. The season is changing and the days are growing shorter. This shift marks a time of turning inward, a time of gathering strength to face the growing darkness. Please join us at Glen Lake Park to gather in community together. (Just past Bozeman Beach!) Learn more about Michaelmas here.
