A Lantern Walk is a fall tradition in Waldorf education that teaches children to celebrate the light within and inspires them to share the gifts of their “light” with humanity in meaningful ways.
During our annual Lantern Walk, our community gathers together as the sun sets in Leschi Park, carrying handmade lanterns, symbolizing our own individual light.
Following the lighting of the lanterns, the children walk through the park singing lantern songs. Parents are encouraged to join in the singing and join the children in reverence and wide-eyed wonder.
