Somer Serpe was born in the US but grew up overseas as the daughter of two international school educators. After returning to the US, she trained as an artist and as a teacher, earning her BFA degree at Parsons School of Design and her Masters in Waldorf Early Childhood Education at Sunbridge College. Somer taught Nursery and Kindergarten at the Great Barrington Rudolf Steiner School for 15 years before leading the Parent Child Program there. In 2020 she started her own program mentoring parents and teaching outdoor parent-child classes on the campuses of Hawthorne Valley School and Berkshire Waldorf School. Somer’s two daughters are Waldorf Graduates. Somer is the assistant program director and a faculty member at Sound Circle Center for Arts and Anthroposophy and is a Northeast Regional Representative for WECAN. She serves as a mentor for teachers and schools as well as an inspirational coach for parents. She leads workshops and parent education opportunities around the country. Somer enjoys skiing, biodynamic gardening, cooking, puppetry, singing, purposeful work with children and creating healing stories for children and parents.

During this episode, I have a lovely conversation with Somer Serpe regarding the Waldorf school's educational approach, which aims to develop essential qualities in children that encourage them to become resilient and compassionate individuals.
