Catholic Waldorf egroup?

I've been wanting to start a yahoogroup for Catholics who are using Waldorf-like curricula and want to Catholicize them and talk to other people in the same boat.

I don't *think* there is anything out there like that - please someone inform me if you know I'm wrong. Then I'll stop obsessing and go join it, LOL.

But if there is no such thing and I wind up starting one, I can't come up with a good name!

I thought maybe "Catholic Waldorf." But, 1. It's boring, 2. I know that to true Waldorf followers there is no CHANGING Waldorf. "That's NOT Waldorf!" they say adamantly, like about Oak Meadow. So it would be more true to say "Catholic Not-Really-But-Almost-Waldorf" which is a mouthful. ;-)

Then I tried to get creative which is always a scary thing - maybe "Creative Catholic Child," since it hits the heart of why I like Waldorfy things. But it misses the mark in my opinion. Then I thought maybe something like "Head, Heart, Hands" which is kind of like the underlying motto of Waldorf. "Catholic 3H"? Ugh.

So I'm asking my smart readers, do you have any ideas or like one I've already mentioned or something like it?

I know we already talk about Waldorf a bit on the 4Real Forums, but I don't feel free to really *get into it* there due to the past shutting down of threads and the fact that many people there think Waldorf education should be avoided like the plague.

Any thoughts?
