What are the\n    crucial elements that support good choices?  How can we help our\n    children to make ethical choices?  How does Waldorf curriculum and\n    pedagogy provide ways for children to learn to process emotions and\n    problem-solve? These are the key questions Torin Finser will address\n    during this keynote presentation.\n\n \n\n  \n    Further Explorations with Torin M. Finser\n  \n\n \n\n  Dr. Finser will be offering a morning\n    and afternoon workshop for a small group of 20 participants each.\n    Please note you may choose either the AM or PM workshop with Dr.\n    Finser\, but not both.\n\n \n\n  \n    About Torin M.
