I’m here to help YOU.

Get Organized :: Sketch it Out! is an online planning class that is designed to walk you through sketching out your year.

I’ve been planning Waldorf homemaking and homeschooling years for twenty years and I love to plan!

In the summer of 2012, I decided to share my passion for planning and began offering Get Organized :: Sketch it Out!

In this six week step -by-step online class, I’ll guide you to explore the rhythm of the year in the context of planning your year. We’ll look at why planning through the lens of the year is important. You will sketch out your year and create a plan to guide you through the year with homemaking and homeschooling.

“Lisa has helped me see Waldorf that homeschooling and homemaking reflect the rhythm of the year. This has changed my relationship to rhythm and homeschooling. It makes being at home so much easier.”

“I LOVE Lisa’s planning course, I do it every time she offers it and each time it helps me. She shares so many little details about Waldorf education that help me sooo much.”

“Lisa’s planning class helps me understand so much about Waldorf and myself, (I didn’t expect that) I know now, from doing it that Waldorf homeschooling and homemaking can be done in a way that fits our family.”

“I sketched out my entire childcare year with Lisa’s planning class. That gave me time to prepare for storytelling and crafts. I recommend this course to all childcare providers.”

“Lisa is so knowledgable and experienced with Waldorf education. She helped me figure out how to homeschool my children. She is an amazing resource.”

“Lisa is a midwife through and through, with gentle guidance, she helped me see my strength and encouraged me to create a plan that is unique to my child and family. She helped me feel like I can do it. I am doing it!”

That is fine, just go back at your pace and check in on the days you missed.

Who sees the comments and discussions?

Only the members of the class.

Do I have to participate and comment each day?

Participation is voluntary and you are free to speak out or not. I notice that the more class members participate, the better the class is for everyone. The real work is in bringing the daily notes and suggestions into your day and applying them.

Do I have to be a Waldorf homeschooler, teacher or childcare provider to participate?

Not at all. Anyone who wishes to incorporate more Waldorf or more rhythm into their life will benefit from this planning course. It does provide a strong Waldorf foundation and will go deep into Waldorf homeschooling planning and at the same time can guide you through the planning of whatever curriculum or style of learning you embrace. The common thread is planning the year rhythmically and to bring subjects that are age appropriate, in a way that is developmentally appropriate.
