SUMMARY:(Free) Montessori Colloquium: Healing Through Connection Amidst Chaos  Montessori Philosophy: A Response to Trauma with Maati Wafford!
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, May 19th\, at 7:00 p.m. ET for an exciting webinar on Healing Through Connection Amidst Chaos Montessori Philosophy: A Response to Trauma with Maati Wafford! \nEvent Description: \nJoin Montessori educator and clinical social worker Maati Wafford for a workshop exploring how Montessori philosophy naturally aligns with trauma-informed teaching and self-care. This session highlights the importance of spiritual preparation\, mindful observation\, and creating trauma-informed environments that foster psychological safety and promote healing for children affected by vicarious trauma or adversity. Participants will discover practical strategies for integrating neurobiological insights with Montessori’s core principles\, ultimately building learning spaces where both children and the communities that support them can thrive together.  \nPlease register in advance for this meeting\, and feel free to share the registration link with your friends and colleagues: \n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nhttps://zoom.us/meeting/register/YZ9XL5RIQca6wqKU_fogDQ#/registration \nAbout Maati Wafford: \nMaati is a licensed social worker\, equity practitioner\, spirit-led\, Montessori-credentialed teacher\, and educational consultant and coach. She is the founder and principal consultant of Radiant Mind Solutions\, holding Montessori credentials in Early Childhood\, Elementary I & II\, and Administration.  \nMaati fiercely infuses critical reflection and a sincere love of learning into her interactions with children\, parents\, and fellow educators. For nearly two decades\, she has created brave spaces for educators and school leaders to expand\, build\, and make more justice in the world. Maati is a firm believer in divine intelligence and understands that we all sit at the very center of that space!  \nMaati’s unique approach integrates community development\, social-emotional learning\, and key elements of social work practice to enrich the educational equity landscape. In her practice\, she uses cognitive and somatic tools to bolster the deep inner work of justice and equity. Getting proximate to the parts of ourselves that hold biased thinking and belief systems allows us to engage in the radical truth-telling needed to dismantle injustice\, which all begins in the psyches of individuals. \nCertificate of Attendance \nUpon the completion of this session\, all attendees are welcome to fill out our 3-2-1 form and receive their certificate of attendance.
