conversations with a
Kenyan Waldorf Teacher
Philisia Shake, the current fifth grade teacher at the Rudolf Steiner School Mbagathi, visited our school for several days during April. She was hosted by Meg Gorman who met Philisia a year ago in Kenya during a around-the-world trip to Waldorf schools. Philisia is a lively, engaging woman who brought East African stories and experiences to our students and also to parents during an evening presentation. She told the children a true story about the time last summer when a lion entered the school compound and fatally attacked one of the school’s cows. She also shared insights into the current Kenyan political situation with high school students, and in one class she found herself explaining circumcision rites in her Taita tribe.
Philisia embodies a unique combination of traditional African ways, the modern African spirit, and Waldorf education. Her visit was a delightful inspiration for everyone.
