Grown-Up Circles
Lotus & Ivy’s Grown-Up Circles are FREE gatherings where homeschooling parents and caregivers come together to explore meaningful topics, learn from experienced hosts, and connect in a supportive community. Each circle offers fresh inspiration, practical insights, and time for thoughtful conversation.
Michaelmas for Grown-Ups
Wednesday, September 23, 2026 at 12pm ET / 9am PT
Our first Grown-up Circle of the year will be held on Wednesday, September 23, at 12pm ET / 9am PT. Together we'll explore the festival of Michaelmas—what it means to face the "dragons" in our own lives, how the coming of shorter and darker days can nourish and strengthen us inwardly, and how to celebrate Michaelmas in ways that leave joyful, enduring impressions on your children. We hope you'll join us for a time of inspiration, practical ideas, and heartfelt conversation as we begin another year together.

Biography Work
In each of the Spring semester circles, we will work through the steps of doing biography work, a powerful Waldorf tool for parents and teachers who are on the path of striving and becoming. As we look back over each 7-year season of our lives, we look for patterns, encounters, events, and motifs that point us in the direction of our highest destiny.
