Maximilian, former Waldorf student at the Waldorf School Bonn, is currently studying Medicine in Berlin. He helped create the concept of the app and is part of the finance team. Maximilian joined WaldorfMinds because he hopes that this app will help foster connections and a community of like-minded people internationally, more of what he experienced in his wonderful time as a Waldorf Student for five years. He is passionate in learning about philosophy, sociology, human rights and culture, enjoys triathlon training and learning Spanish. His foremost goal is to help people.
We've got the answers for your questions
Seriously, if you have any questions about the project, we have the answers.
WaldorfMinds is open to high school students (from age 14), parents, teachers, and alumni of Waldorf schools worldwide. Each group has its own dedicated spaces and community features designed to fit their needs.
Absolutely. Safety is central to everything we do. All accounts require phone number verification, the platform follows clear community guidelines, and a team of moderators reviews content. Students under 18 have specific protections — including restrictions on private messaging with users from other community groups.
WaldorfMinds is purpose-built for the Waldorf community, not the general public. There are no ads, no algorithmic feeds designed to keep you scrolling, and no pressure to perform. Every feature — from Reflections to Exchanges — is designed to foster genuine connection, creativity, and real-world experiences.
Yes. WaldorfMinds is a community-driven project supported by donations and foundations. Our goal is to keep the platform accessible to everyone in the Waldorf world, regardless of where they are or what resources they have.
Nothing financial — every member of our team works as a volunteer, and every donation goes directly into building, moderating, and sustaining the platform. What we gain is harder to put a price on: the chance to build something meaningful with people who share our values, and to give back to a community that shaped who we are.
