Colorado, April 2022 - February 2023

The in-person training is held in Boulder, Colorado, a scenic university town with many cultural and outdoor activities.  Located at the base of the Flat Irons, 5430 feet above sea level, Boulder is known for its blue skies and sunny weather, even in the midst of winter snow.  It is surrounded by open space and hiking trails and is 45 minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park and Eldora ski area.

Boulder offers many attractions, including the famous “Pearl Street Mall,” a pedestrian area forming the vibrant heart of downtown with numerous restaurants, art galleries, boutiques and street entertainment (musicians, jugglers, magicians—even a contortion artist). In addition to enjoying the playscapes and other children’s activities on the outdoor mall, families who accompany students will find plenty of parks to visit, including Chautauqua Park, which has the oldest Chautauqua auditorium west of the Mississippi and is still a venue for concerts in the summer. An excellent children’s museum is located in nearby Longmont, and the Butterfly Pavilion in Broomfield makes a lovely day’s outing with children.

Boulder has been home to several Waldorf Schools and LifeWays home programs in the area for years. Faculty for the Colorado LifeWays training draws from master teachers in the Boulder area, and from the Midwest.
