Rudolf Steiner, Motto of Social Ethics, 1920 (at end of first full year of first Waldorf School founded 1919)

The healing social life is found when in the mirror of each human being the whole community finds its reflection, and when in the community the strength of each one is living.

La vida social saludable se encuentra cuando en el espejo de cada ser humano la comunidad entera se encuentra reflejada y en la comunidad vive la virtud de cada uno.

尋找到健康之社交生活, 就是當每個人對著鏡子 能從整個社區的影像中找 到自己的反映, 這樣在社區內每人都能活 出精彩。

Heilsam ist nur, wenn Im Spiegel der Menschenseele sich bildet die ganze Gemeinscaft Und in der Gemeinschaft Lebet der Einzel Seele Kraft

Land Acknowledgment CSCE

Community School for Creative Education respectfully acknowledges the original peoples of the lands on which this school is built.  For thousands of years and hundreds of generations, the Chochenyo people actively stewarded these lands to ensure they provided for all living things.  The land on which CSCE was established was, and continues to be, significant to the Muwekma Ohlone tribe.  Today, we acknowledge the impact colonization had on the Chechenyo/Muwekma Nation and recognize our responsibility to help them heal from this history and secure a sustainable future.


 

En Español

Community School for Creative Education reconoce respetuosamente a los pueblos originarios de las tierras donde se construye este campus. Durante miles de años y cientos de generaciones, el pueblo Chochenyo administró activamente estas tierras para garantizar que estas sustentaran a todos los seres vivos. Esta tierra en la que se estableció CSCE fue y sigue siendo importante para la tribu Muwekma Ohlone. Hoy reconocemos el impacto que tuvo la colonización en la nación Chechenyo/Muwekma y reconocemos nuestra responsabilidad de ayudarlos a recuperarse de esta historia y asegurar un futuro sostenible
