Vicki Kirsch
Vicki Kirsch was born and raised in Colorado. In 1977 she was researching education for her daughter, Lauri, when she discovered Rudolf Steiner and Waldorf Education. She felt an immediate connection to the spiritual path of Anthroposophy as it supported her beliefs and interests in gardening, nutrition, health, the festivals, the arts and child development. She began to apply the principles she was learning to parenting and found that children thrive with this approach.

Vicki was trained at Rudolf Steiner College in 1983 in Early Childhood and Class Teaching and in 1991 in the Extra Lesson, a Waldorf approach to Remedial Education. She taught for 22 years at Shining Mountain Waldorf School as a kindergarten and class teacher and founded and taught the Remedial Program there. In 1992 after the birth of her third child, she was inspired to found the Stargarden, a class for parent and child, with the vision of teaching parents so that their child would have the developmental benefits which Waldorf principles offer to support children in learning and in avoiding remedial needs. This program is located at the 10 acre farm which she has developed with her husband Jeff, and sons Aaron, Padraic and Jaimen. This sanctuary embraces the biodynamic agricultural practices as a source of peace, love and light for people, animals, plants, and elemental Beings.

Families experience great joy and learning as they experience the benefits of the biodynamic environment. In more recent years Vicki has been studying the "I Am" teachings of Saint Germain and the Ascended Masters. She feels a great deal of love and support from Spiritual Beings in her dream and wish for World Peace and helping families achieve this. For a number of years Vicki has recorded the parent evening talks. She is currently working with her team members to create an audio series entitled "A Guide to Early Childhood Waldorf Parent Education: for Teachers and Parents, Kindergartens, Early Childhood Parenting Classes, Home and Play Groups." Her recent article, "Imitation and Prenatal Parenting", was recently published in the Summer 2013 edition of Lilipoh magazine , Lilipoh, com.

It is her belief that Waldorf parenting can provide the foundation for a child's life that will bring about peace, abundance, and creativity to humanity and that the audio series will be helpful to parents around the world.
