Professional Development for Public Waldorf Educators & Supporters

Symposium 

Acceleration and Wisdom in the Age of AI.

July 10, 2026

The Symposium will include a keynote address by Ben Klocek, discussion, and workshop opportunities. Ben’s talk will invite us to consider what it means to educate the human being in a time of rapid change. As technology amplifies our capacity to act, feel, and think, how do we cultivate balance, depth, and discernment? Along with us, Ben will explore how the rhythm of the school day, movement, art, and thoughtful engagement, can support the development of grounded, integrated, and wise human beings in an age of acceleration.

Ben Klocek is known to many of us: he is a web designer and teacher, and a Sacramento Waldorf School alum. He has worked in technology for more than 20 years while studying how screen use shapes our lives. For over seven years he taught technology and woodworking at a Public Waldorf charter school.
