WHAT IS EPOCH

Founder
Chelsea Vail
Epoch founder and event host, Chelsea Vail, holds a BS in Child Development, MA Professional Counseling, is a Certified Child Life Specialist and EC-4 educator. After finishing her graduate degree in Professional Counseling, Chelsea focused on Play Therapy for her child clients and began offering workshops for parents and teachers focusing on positive discipline and developmentally appropriate education.
She founded a Waldorf-inspired forest school in Bozeman, Montana called Epoch (active 2021-2024) and hopes to continue leading children and families in their learning journey by teaching the Waldorf methods in-person in her local community, online, providing content for homeschooling and "worldschooling" families to draw from and providing opportunities for play-based learning in the community.
Disclaimer: Epoch is not "traditional" Waldorf education...it is Waldorf-y! We are awakened, not "woke" and hold traditional values sacred, the way Rudolf Steiner intended.
