This masterclass explores the deep connection between the soul’s inner yearning and the process of education.
Rooted in Rudolf Steiner’s holistic philosophy, this perspective views learning as a response to the human longing for
meaning, beauty, and truth.
Rather than focusing solely on knowledge acquisition, it nurtures the whole being—body, soul, and spirit.
When longing is acknowledged, learning becomes alive, joyful, and purposeful.
This masterclass invites educators and learners alike to reimagine the classroom as a space of inner awakening.
It is an invitation to teach and learn with depth, sensitivity, and presence.
