About this title

Synopsis

In a world of busy schedules, constant stimulation, and ever-changing family demands, Seven Times the Sun invites parents to rediscover the beauty and meaning within everyday family life.

Parent and family educator Shea Darian offers a creative and inspiring guide for transforming ordinary moments - waking, mealtimes, play, chores, healing, rest, peacemaking, bedtime, and personal renewal - into meaningful rhythms that nurture connection and belonging. Through songs, stories, verses, reflections, and practical ideas, Darian reveals how simple family rituals can become anchors of love, security, and joy.

Drawing from Waldorf-inspired family life and years of experience supporting parents, Seven Times the Sun offers a fresh perspective on raising children with intention, presence, and reverence. This timeless resource helps families create their own traditions and discover the wisdom, warmth, and connection already waiting within the rhythms of daily life.
