Author Biography

Meg Chittenden grew up in a family of musicians and singers and has been teaching in Waldorf schools for over a decade. One of her greatest joys is bringing people together in harmony, and she's grateful to do this regularly with the children of the school where she teaches, through her inter-generational community choir, and as an instructor for adult education programs including Antioch University, LifeWays North America, and the Center for Anthroposophy. Meg and her fellow Waldorf-teacher husband are raising their two children on a hand-built homestead between the salt water and the white pine forests of coastal Maine.
