This book uses beautiful imagery
to explain Steiner educational philosophy and how it
impacts our society in a positive way. The images are
gathered from Steiner Waldorf inspired communities in
Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam and Kenya. The book
is an uplifting view of humanity for any reader and
an artful blend of images and text explaining an educational
philosophy focused on developing the faculties of thinking,
feeling and willing.

The book combines a delicious photo
layout expressing the radiance possible in a human being,
with spare, poetic text. It is an affirmation of the Waldorf
educational approach which is centred on strengthening the
creative forces of imagination living in each person.

Your book is inspiring and I shall
treasure it. I was also deeply moved by it. I found it important
and inspiring because it communicates with the reader simply
and directly and somehow conveys the essence of Steiner education.
I have often said, I wish someone would produce a book for
modern readers that would give them the essence of anthroposophy
without all those difficult concepts and convoluted sentences!
I think you have done that. Thank-you.
Mouna Hayes, Blessings from Scotland
Creating Avenues for Change is a truly
touching collection of pictures and writings. I first viewed
it while gazing upon my Class nine students. It awoke in me
once again the incredible potential for depth of beauty and
truth in human beings. Thank-you, Vicki.

I was deeply touched on reading Creating Avenues for Change,
thank you for sending it.
I was at times overcome by its beauty and simplicity. I literally
wept tears of joy as I progressed, pretty unique for an old
cynic like me! The happiness and serenity on the children’s
faces is stunning. Beautifully designed and presented. Steiner’s
mystical theological theme runs throughout, blended with the
practicalities of learning and growing up, to the highest
standards of morality.

Valley Steiner School, Brisbane, Queensland
When I first held your book and thumbed
through it I was overcome with the artful beauty of it. I
am very eager to have your book in the shop as soon as we
can make arrangements. I have enjoyed showing it to staff
and colleagues at Rudolf Steiner College. The response has
been very positive.

Steiner College, Fair Oaks, California
‘Creating Avenues for Change’
captures the essence of the Steiner ideals through the stunning
images, illustrations and descriptive text. We don’t often
come across work that has been planned with such detail, and
using our state of the art equipment, the end product is of
the highest quality and exceptional standard. Entering this
book into the Queensland Printing Awards is integral with
our belief that in all aspects ‘Creating Avenues for Change’
is worthy of the accolades it is currently receiving from
those who read it.
