Waldorf schools’ arts- and nature-oriented approach to education continues to grow in popularity. But it can cost a bundle. Shade Canyon School in Kelseyville wants to make a Waldorf-inspired learning environment free and available to the public. To this end, the school, slated to open next fall, is holding a building-fundraiser: a gourmet dinner (plus a silent auction) at Peace and Plenty Farm in Kelseyville. Handmade pumpkin ravioli and roast pork with Israeli couscous will be the stars of the meal, which will finish off with spiced pears poached in Lake County red wine. Acoustic guitarist John Ruiz will perform. The Harvest Dinner will take place on October 1, 4–8 p.m. Tickets are $125 for this 21-and-over event and may be purchased at tinyurl.com/5yyvbm6x.
