Merav is a trained Waldorf kindergarten/primary teacher (1996 Waldorf Institute of Southern California) and completed an additional Waldorf primary teacher training with a focus on teaching additional languages (2004 Antioch New England Graduate School, USA). 

​​

Merav completed her postgraduate in teaching early elementary education (EYPS) at the University of Brighton, UK. She has a Master of Education degree from Antioch New England Graduate School (2004). Merav received her Ph.D. (2017) from Bath University in the UK. Her doctorate studies focused on designing a transformative education and curriculum model for traditional communities that keep them connected to their spiritual heritage, natural environment and cultural knowledge.

​

Between 1996 – 2015, Merav set up the first two Waldorf schools in Nepal and two kindergartens in England. She has taught nursery and kindergarten, age 2 - 6 (California, Nepal and UK), primary, class 1-8, age 7-14 (Nepal and UK) and children with special needs (Nepal and UK). For nearly 3 decades, Merav has been training kindergarten and primary school teachers in Nepal, India, Vietnam, Hong Kong, China, and the UK. At the same time, Merav has been developing and implementing curricula that cater to the heritage of communities around the world by interweaving transformative and experiential learning with culture and spirituality. Her work brings together Waldorf and other transformative learning approaches and heritage of specific communities without losing their spiritual spark and valuable traditional knowledge. She has written two books about this subject: Fire in the Heart: A Teacher Training Manual for the Himalayan Region (2000), and Preserving the past, Reserving the Future: A Culturally Sensitive Early Childhood Curriculum for Tibetan Children in Exile (2003).

​

Merav had the good fortune to receive teachings from several important spiritual traditions, drawing from western and eastern world-views and practices. From 2000, when Meyrav established the Tashi Waldorf School, she has been developing meditation and contemplative curriculums for children who are based both in Europe and in the Himalayas.

​

Since 2016 Merav’s sole focus has been on bringing together her wealth of knowledge and expertise to develop the Abiding Heart Education approach for kindergarten through to class 8. This education approach, which includes teaching children, curriculum design and content, and teacher training courses, can be used by communities around the world. ​
