Classical Lullaby Piano CD
by Lori Henriques – Local Portland Artist
Only $11.50 Order Here
Lori Henriques just moved to Portland and stopped in to let us try out her wonderful lullaby CD. Come into the store for a listen!
Lori says: "The idea for this album came shortly after my son Leo was born. If I chose the gentlest pieces, I could practice during the first hour of his nightly sleep. I had taught these compositions for years, but Leo’s presence invited me to play them in a new way, softly and gently."
Enjoy introducing your child to classical music while they are falling asleep!

Coffee Price News:
To our valued coffee customers,
Many of you have discovered the unique joy of Clean Food’s Café Altura biodynamic coffee. This is the only Demeter certified biodynamic coffee available in the US. You likely understand that the processes used to grow biodynamic foods are much more time and energy intensive than for conventionally, or even organically grown items; it is a process filled with love and care for the Earth.
Unfortunately Café Altura has recently had to raise their wholesale prices for their biodynamic coffee. I have included the text from their note to the Steiner Storehouse here so you can have the context for why our prices will also be raised.
Chris at Café Altura was kind enough to let us place a last order at the ‘old’ prices, so we currently have a little more stock than usual, which we are continuing to sell at the ‘old’ price, even though it is the ‘new’ coffee. But when this coffee is gone our prices will be higher. If you are one of our customers who enjoys this special coffee, we wanted to give you a heads-up in case you wished to order extra coffee at the old price, and to prepare you if you were to order again and discover a change in the price.
Thanks for supporting our little store and the biodynamic movement!
Seth Miller
Manager, Steiner Storehouse

Students at the Arabic Waldorf school learn the art of breadmaking.
One of the benefits of Waldorf education is its ability to create an environment which snap judgments and stereotypic assumptions about other cultures and ways of being are minimized. This happens not because of a one-shot class on tolerance, but through the educational process as a whole, which gives children many opportunities to explore a more open and depth-filled feeling-life.
Read this article in the J-Weekly about how Waldorf education in Israel is providing an environment in which Arabs and Jews can not only find common ground but share the same community.

When people speak about what makes Waldorf educational methods unique, they often point out the role of aesthetics: the integral usage of art, music, crafts, and beauty as teaching tools. Parents, particularly parents of children who go to Waldorf high schools, often ask about math and science, with some trepidation that the amount of artistic-oriented activity may take away from skills in these ‘harder’ disciplines. Well, the proof is in the pudding: Waldorf methods for educating children are highly successful in helping students excel in math and science. Read this nice little article in the Folsom Telegraph about how the Golden Valley Charter School in Orangevale, CA made this happen.
