Curious about Waldorf Education? Want to learn more? Come check out the following presentations at Zen Zero on Feb 20th and Feb 27th. Read on for more information:
The Saltwater School, an independent Waldorf-inspired initiative, has organized two speakers for February in Courtenay.
Mary-Anne Taylor from the Vancouver Waldorf School will discuss child development and how Waldorf addresses each stage, and will also discuss the curriculum in the grades.
She has been teaching for 12 years at the Vancouver Waldorf School, and is currently taking her second class through Grades 1 to 8. She also spent time training at the Goetheanum in Switzerland.
She will be available to answer questions and provide insight into what Waldorf can offer parents, children, and communities. She will present on February 20th.
Ruth Ker of Duncan’s Sunrise Waldorf School will be here February 27th with a wealth of information about kindergarten.
Ker teaches kindergarten at the Sunrise Waldorf School, is the author of You’re Not the Boss of Me! Understanding the Six/Seven -Year-Old Transformation, and has presented around the world.
She will discuss children in the kindergarten classroom, and the kindergarten curriculum.
Both evenings will be held at Zen Zero, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., and will involve an artistic component. Saltwater representatives hope the presentations convey to parents the wonder that their children experience within a Waldorf school.
The cost is $5 for one evening, and $8 if you’d like to attend both.
Tickets will be available at the door, and are on sale at Zen Zero. All proceeds will benefit the Saltwater Education Society.
The Saltwater School is opening its doors in September and is currently accepting applications for kindergarten and Grade 1.

Tags:Christmas.
The annual Courtenay Christmas Light Up, Walk the Window Displays and Moonlight Madness are all happening this Friday November 20th. It seems so early to me, but then again I am staring out my window at a world full of snow. There is a part of me that dislikes participating in an event that is clearly aimed at pumping out the pre-Christmas sales over a month before Christmas. Wasn’t it just Halloween? Isn’t it still November? But then my daughters found some old Christmas lights and insisted I string them up around the house. We couldn’t stop there and brought out the Christmas music too. My heart remembers the wonders of this magical season and I relive it through my children’s eyes. The season of light in these the dark dark days of winter. I have been mourning the loss of Summer, but now I am excited about trekking through the snow, building snowmen and luge tracks in our front yard.
We are lucky at Zen Zero because our parking lot houses the tree – you know – “the” tree. The tree that will be lit up in an official ceremony this Friday. Then we get to look out at it for the rest of the season. That will be a nice treat. The lite up begins at 5:30pm with a choir leading the crowd in caroling.
In addition to the tree lighting ceremony, all the stores will be open til 9pm this Friday and there will be sales and promotional stuff as well as entertainment happening up and down 5th street. Friday is also the start of the annual Walk the Windows display contest where downtown businesses are encouraged to decorate their windows and people get to vote for which window they like the best. I like this competition because the people who take the time to enter the contest get their name entered into a draw for their chance to win a $1000 shopping spree at a number of downtown businesses.
We have been working on a window display for our restaurant and I will give you just a teeny tiny little preview, but to see the whole thing, you’ll have to come down to view it. Don’t worry if you don’t make it down on Friday, the competition runs until December 12th. Here is a little taste of what you will find in our window starting this Friday:
Yes you saw that right, that would be an Apple Santa leading his team of Banana Reindeer, Rudolf Banana in the lead of course.
We will be open on Friday til 9pm and will have a flu buster juice on special, hot apple cider of course our famous hot vegan soups and curries to warm you up. Hope to see you there!

Thank you everyone for a grand ole time on Saturday at the opening. It really felt like a party and we enjoyed celebrating our new business with everyone. It was also the first time all 4 of us owners were working together at the Juice Bar and that was a real treat. We loved giving away samples of Kyla’s yummy raw chocolate treats and we definitely saw a few new faces in asking all about what we sell. It was such a grand time that we are thinking of having a combined Open House with Zen Health Haven in 3 months, but we’ll give you more warning a little closer to the date!
