Nature Connection, Music & Movement

Are you a parent interested in Waldorf Pedagogy and inspired by figures like Jon Young, Bill Plotkin, and Tom Brown in the realm of Deep Nature Connection? Do you value the teachings of Kim John Payne, Gabor Mate, and Gordon Neufeld? If so, our new homeschooling weekly classes at Lila Music Centre might be the perfect fit for you and your child.

Join us for 12 weeks of weekly morning sessions in the serene setting of Lila Music Centre, surrounded by a small farm, chickens, gardens, orchard, and close to forested paths and the river. Our two-hour sessions aim to create a village of crafters, explorers, and music makers, fostering imagination, curiosity, and self-discovery through play and nature connection.

Through deep nature connection, play, music, and movement, these sessions will:

Expand imagination and creativity
Foster a deeper sense of curiosity
Support personal self-led discoveries
Promote cognitive growth
Develop awareness
Encourage healthy movement
Foster independence
Benefit the development of healthy emotional and behavioral patterns
Be fun
Invite children to relax and express their authentic selves.

Three focused areas of mentoring include Deep Nature Connection, Intuitive Pedagogy, and Music Making & Singing. Led by Cari Burdett, a musician, educator, and mentor in nature connection, these classes cater to mixed ages (7-15 years) and families.

For registration and inquiries, contact Cari at cari@cariburdett.com or 250-710-4174.

TESTIMONIALS

“A wonderful way to connect and be creative with my children. It provides rhythm and also a lot of nourishment through the week as the chidden recall the songs and speak so fondly of Ms. Cari and the puppet plays, singing and time together with friends. Cari has a very positive and nurturing way of embracing the children and holding space.”

"I was able to take what I learnt at Lila Music Centre back to my licensed family home daycare and share it with the children and parents there."

"Really, it is hard to put into words what Cari Burdett does for her community and beyond. It is a priceless gift."
