Making your life greener - one bite at a time.

From July 9-21st 2012 the Rudolf Steiner Health Center in Ann Arbor, MI will be hosting the Learn-Work-Share Summer program, a new Youth Initiative for 16-30 year olds.
 
All participants will take part in the Learn portion of the program, July 4-8, where they will be introduced to Anthroposophical medical, nursing, therapeutic, and biodynamic principles while building a community of Anthroposophically oriented youth.

A smaller group will stay for the Work Program, caring for low income patients who otherwise would not be able to attend a Retreat session.  The session will run from July 9th to 14th and will give the young people an opportunity for hands on work experience in an Anthroposophical setting.  The next section, the Share Program, is a week long day camp program for 10-14 year-old girls, teaching them about healthy lifestyle, movement, nutrition and gardening. The participants will work together with the girls on a variety of activities including preparing a healthy meal each day.
 
As many participants as possible will be housed in the Rudolf Steiner Health Center, a large beautiful building on the historic west side of Ann Arbor. Simple vegetarian meals will be provided.
 
The youth program is free and is now accepting participant applications online until the end of February. Interested professionals who would like to work with the young people as mentors in disciplines such as medicine, movement, nursing, art, music and nutrition should contact Sara at 734-663-4365. –Sara McMullen-Laird
