The world is singing less than it ever has in the history of the world, and we do not want singing to disappear altogether. Singing has since the beginning of time been a source of joy, prayer, divine wisdom, a helper when working and a deep force of healing and balance for the human being.

Two Tall Trees : LifeWays inspired products for the home and center
Jess, the owner of Two Tall Trees is LifeWays trained...she writes: A couple of years ago I revisited the idea of a LifeWays supply store, adding to it the fantasy of an interactive, idea-sharing source for busy caregivers to see what their colleagues around the country are doing. Last year, I researched LifeWays centers based in Waldorf Schools and I had the great pleasure of seeing many different examples of LifeWays and Waldorf Early Childhood program classrooms. After this research and catching my breath at yet another differently arranged doorway-softening draped silk I considered how helpful it would have been to see pictures of all these magnificent labors of love when I was setting up my own program (and home)!
