EARTHBOUND


“The land is where our roots are. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth,” a famous quote of Maria Montessori and the theme of next year’s 27th International Montessori Congress being held in Portland, Oregon, “Montessori: Guided by Nature.”

This is going to be a fabulous gathering of thousands from all over the world, people who care about the child and our environment. World-renowned speakers, such as Dr. Vandana Shiva, a physicist ecologist and civil rights activist, a defender of the environment, and, as I mentioned in an earlier blog, Dr. Bryan Swimme, a mathematical cosmologist and author of several books on the Universe. Research presentations will reveal the potential plans for the universal child into the decades to come. The central concern of the Congress will be the role of humanity within the Earth community and the continuing creation of the Universe.

I want to spread the news about this Congress to as many folk as possible because I believe it’s an event that is going to make a global difference in the future of our children. More information can be found on my website, www.montessoritheory.com under the Events page as well as: www.montessoricongress.org.  Another important quote from Maria Montessori reminds us that, “Plainly, the environment must be a living one, directed by a higher intelligence, arranged by an adult who is prepared for his mission.”
