| All of a Feather
The idiom "birds of a feather flock together" appears in literature at least as early as 1545 AD, but as a proverb and metaphor it likely goes back much farther in history.
It seems fitting to use Feathers for our newsletter that highlights events sponsored by other organizations. It reminds us that there are other "flocks" worth getting to know, building relationships with, and learning from.

| Presentations from an experienced Early Childhood Educator and a Developmental Pediatrician with open discussions.
We are now living in a post-pandemic world, coming out of the darkness that has hung over us the past few years. Everyone’s senses have been deprived of healthy stimulation and activity. In this study we will come together to reawaken and nourish our senses – and the senses of the children who are the future of our planet. As we study to understand the senses, we will move, breathe, and laugh with practical examples and imaginative ideas for implementing this work with children.
This is going to be a very open session, like a flowing river with our two highly experienced mentors shaping the two sides of the banks. On one side, Nancy Blanning will shape this river through Waldorf Education, while Dr. Lakshmi Prasanna will inform us from the Healing/Medical side. You are warmly invited to come flow with Nancy and Lakshmi at Nurturer’Studio and become a part of this river that is designed for inculcating understanding, growing, and warmth.
