Homemaking as a Social Art Creating a Home for Body, Soul, and Spirit by Veronika van Duin

oday, social and economic pressures affect the traditional role of the  homemaker. Emphasis is placed on the working world instead of home life,  and many struggle to function in several roles at once. This  increasingly hectic climate has tended to downgrade of the work of the  homemaker.

Taking a spiritual perspective inspired by Rudolf  Steiner, Veronika van Duin suggests that homemaking needs to be  undertaken consciously as an honored and valued area of work, as nothing  less than a “social art.” She asserts that, by elevating our regard for  the homemaker, we can enjoy a happier and more contented family and  home life.

The author does not claim any blueprint for perfect  homemaking, but offers principles and observations based on a study of  the seven “life processes” and how they affect us. She addresses the  significance of rhythm, relationships, artistic environment, caring,  self-development, and much more in this invaluable book.SBN:       9781855840683
