The Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School third grade class spent the last week of February on the Farm. Most of them entered the trip with a bit of nervous excitement, but exited their Farm Trip with a healthy, hearty feeling of inner pride and success.
Candlemas, Groundhog Day, Imbolc, and St. Brigid’s Day; all different names for the same day that marks the midway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Gathering during these early February days has been, and continues to be, a time to turn our attention to the seemingly invisible forces hard at work underneath the hard and frozen earth.
