Inner Work:
Fifth Chamber of the Heart
An Inner Course of Development: deepening the Anthroposophic approach to Waldorf Education
Inspired by the program Lakshmi Prasanna, MD, Inner Work was created for teachers, healers, and parents. We initiated workshops in India to bring into practice the foundational ideas of spiritual scientific inquiry. Returning to Steiner’s observation in The Roots of Education that an "inner course of development will be the correct method of training educators, and not only teachers, but those others who have so much to contribute to educational work—the doctors" continues to be a cornerstone for this way of working with Waldorf pedagogy.
All donations, tuition, and fees paid to Inner Work are applied to workshop expenses, travel costs and facilitators. We are truly grateful for our Inner Work family and look forward to building this organization, so we can better serve the people that this work is meant for.

CONNECTIONS:
There is no denying that reverberations are being felt across our world. From the youth uprising in Nepal, to unrest in the Holy Land, to the constant turmoil in the US, interpersonal connection has become both rare and sorely needed. Our worldwide community rests on small groups of people working to enrich our lives in this time of extremes.
One of these groups, HEALING THE SOCIAL, is meeting in Gujrat, India January 10-17 2026. HEALING THE SOCIAL was envisioned and organized by Dr. Lakshmi Prasanna and supported by participants of the Ira: learn Waldorf teacher training program. Daily talks will be given by Dr Micheala Glockler, followed by discussions and interactive artistic experiences, geared to each attendant’s specific focus.
