The Power of Story: Igniting Community and Connection
About this Event

The Power of Story: Igniting Community and Connection

Plan to join us in Los Angeles in January for a not-to-be missed conference. Together, we will explore the universal power and importance of story: story to build community, to strengthen connections, to delight, and to heal. You asked us for inspiration, engagement, nourishment, and practical support. We are developing a different kind of conference that we promise will make a difference with each of these.

When: Friday, January 17 through Sunday, January 19. As you make travel arrangements, note that both Friday evening and Sunday morning will be essential parts – plan to be there for both. Consider coming early to visit Los Angeles-area Alliance and independent Waldorf schools.

Who: This conference is open to anyone working out of the creative impulse of Waldorf education – teachers, school leaders, support staff, parent partners….

What: Through presentations, story, song and games, workshops, discussion groups, artistic activities, and time to network and connect, we will explore the fundamental human activity of storytelling through 3 major perspectives: “I” – who is the storyteller? Why does this matter? “You” - whose stories do we tell? How do we truly listen and develop awareness of the other? “We” – the power of story to build community and authentic connections.

Keynote Presenters:

We are truly delighted to introduce our two major keynote presenters:


Anjum Mir

For over 20 years, Anjum Mir has supported parents in establishing healthy home rhythms as a parent and child teacher and educational consultant. Her teaching experience has taken her from public and private schools to Waldorf Education, which she discovered while looking for an educational system that honored the development and spiritual well-being of her first child. A mother of four, she is currently School Co- coordinator at Westside Waldorf School in Los Angeles. She is on the board of WECAN and several other education-focused organizations and is involved in teacher education and training. She has worked intimately with over 500 families helping them facilitate space for children to unfold in their development. Anjum draws from her work with Pikler, Waldorf methods, meditation, non-violent communication, Positive Discipline, and her own spiritual path to support families and teachers.


Baba the Storyteller

Baba has been a professional speaker since 1994 and is one of the few recognized U.S. born practitioners of the ancient West African storytelling craft known as Jaliyaa. He has received numerous awards over the years for his work as a folklorist, traditional harpist, storyteller, community activist and volunteer. Baba has presented in thousands of schools and other institutions all across the world, including Waldorf schools and conferences. He presents deep truths about being human and our ask as educators through engaged and engaging storytelling.
