About The Christian Community: Among many today there is a yearning for meaning and spirituality. At the same time, there is more strongly than ever a need for unconditional freedom. Christ has made freedom possible, bringing a new closeness between the human and the divine world. To serve both—freedom and spiritual depth—is the central concern of The Christian Community.
*Location on February 26:
Beaver Farm, 551 West Seven Stars Road, Phoenixville, PA.

Needed: Active and Energetic Assistant Director for Summer Program of Organic Farming, Nutrition and Entrepreneurship for Youth - June 1 - August 7, 2012
The Courage to Be: A Clowning Workshop, facilitated by Angie Foster
The word “Courage” comes from a root that means “heart.” Through clowning and connecting to our playful spirit we can develop and sustain, in ourselves and each other, the heart to be who we truly are, to trust life and ourselves.
Come find that free, fun, spontaneous part of you that copes with life without being concerned about getting it right or being clever all the time. Our approach to clowning is not a technique (tricks, gags or routines) but a personal journey towards finding your own unique way of being a clown. Through play, games and short improvisations we will learn to let go of our control over things and be surprised by what reveals itself to us.
Date: Saturday, February 18
Sunday, March 4
Time: 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
Place: Kimberton Waldorf School
Cost: $60 for one or $100 for both
Snacks provided. – Bring your lunch.
Limit 12 participants.
Please call or email to register.
Angie Foster is an actress, director, and clowning facilitator teaching in the Philadelphia area. This form of clowning combines her passion for improvisation and theatre and her quest for self-discovery. For more info. email Angie at 4AngieFoster@gmail.com • 610.935.0637

Annual Waldorf Winter Camping Trip
February 17-22, 2012
For students in Grades 7 through High School
Teachers: Andy Dill, Kimberton Waldorf School and Lisl Hofer, KROKA Expeditions
Cost: $350, $450, $550 (sliding scale depending upon need)
On this trip we will experience a traditional way of life and travel in the winter wilderness, as generations of native people, explorers, and trappers of a by gone era once did.
We will begin by meeting at the KROKA Base Camp in Marlow, New Hampshire. In the comfort and warmth of our lodge, we will prepare for the trip, pack gear and go over what we need to know to travel safely and comfortably in snow country. We will ski and snowshoe through the forest and over frozen lakes carrying our gear in packs and on toboggans. Establishing our camp on a frozen beaver pond, we will set our canvas wall tent and make a fragrant floor of fir boughs. We will cut and split fire wood, chop a hole in the ice to get water and finally set our meal to cook over the wood stove or open fire. At night, the stars and the moon will illuminate the scene of a winter paradise with ice crackling in the cold and snow blanketing the firs. There will be stories, songs and great conversations in our candle-lit canvas wall tent. For the next few days we will live in our new home in the woods, learning winter camp craft, making snow shelters and practicing the ways of people and animals in the winter. We will explore nearby mountains and lakes, looking for beaver, coyote and moose. Sooner than we will wish, it will be time to break camp and leave this enchanted world behind.

I am looking for a carriage house or guest home or garage apartment which you might consider renting to my family for a moderate price. I can consider a monthly rental of $500-800. I am also willing to do work in exchange for a lower rent. Gardening or agriculture work, elder care, nannying, etc. Anything I could do that gels with my #1 job, motherhood. Unexpected changes to my freelance writing income force me to pare my monthly expenses versus putting off my education yet again by finding a new job that would not allow for class time. I can be reached at .

Half Sized Cello for Sale $1000.
Are you disappointed with the quality of the typical plywood student cellos? Look no further. This solid wood maple and spruce cello was purchased from an instrument dealer in Germany. Both my children have played it for a few years. The sound quality is amazing for a half sized cello and is nothing like what you will find at the local music stores or on Craigslist. The solid wood tuning pegs and strings have been replaced within the past year, and the cello had a tune up done last year with a local instrument maker. There are a few minor cosmetic scratches on the cello but nothing that interferes with the sound or the beauty of the instrument. The cello comes in a soft case that has straps that make it easy to carry on your back. For more information or to set up a time to come try it out please feel free to give us a call: Lael Rasch at 610-948-4876 or email me at .
