This webinar is an inspiring introduction to a Montessori Cosmic Themes that unfold developmentally starting at birth and throughout life. Five cosmic themes unfold developmentally throughout life — universe, earth, humans, communication, and math — and help us to discover our Cosmic Gifts and Tasks (Montessori) and our Great Work (Thomas Berry). The themes can viewed as a nested egg, with theme nested inside the theme that comes before. Dr. Dorer will give an overview of planes of development: experiencing the world through the senses (0 to 6), learning the Great Lessons and how they introduce the five Cosmic Themes (6 – 12), seeing ourselves in the Great Stories (12 – 18), and exploring our cosmic gifts and tasks inside the Cosmic Story. Maria Montessori focused on the first four planes of development, but the Cosmic Themes and human development continue to unfold throughout life. We’ll explore later stages in life as well in this webinar.
A combination of overview, inspiration, and how to — particularly for teachers, parents and grandparents, but also for everyone who wants to connect their lives to the larger context of an evolving universe — this webinar is ultimately about meaning, purpose, and engaging fully at every single stage in life inside an evolving universe, and nurturing engagement in our students, children, grandchildren, and others around us.
