Our Guest: Catherine McTamaney
Show Notes
Dr. Catherine McTamaney joins the Voices in Montessori podcast to talk about how we commit to Montessori in an open-hearted, horizon-focused way, while caring for our spirits and caring for each other. What draws people to Montessori and why haven’t we yet seen the New Society that she promised? How might Montessori practice (and Montessori practitioners) need to commit to a new model of radical love if we are to nurture the next generation? Join us for this inspiring and thought-provoking discussion.
