Abstract

In this work, we propose to think about a form of creative education, in order to conceive of the inner life of the teacher and the emotional and spiritual development of his/her students. From an anthroposophical perspective, we present some meditative activities, anchored in the daily actions of human beings, as a living practice, developing awareness between the essential and the transitory in everyday life. We also present the way in which the emotional and spiritual forces develop and manifest themselves in children, manifesting, above all, the spiritual forces coming from within and the forces of the physical world, starting from the outside. In this way, it becomes possible for the teacher to act creatively, according to which it refers to understanding the laws that govern child development and not as special or alternative content. These are paths that converge so that the educational process becomes true, responsive, enthusiastic and caring. Qualities that make education creative and the educator an artist.
