23.01.2022 It’s been a little over just one (1) month since I last posted on this page, yet it seems like years. The world is on a crazy and unpredictable ride with changes happening so quickly it’s hard to keep up. The weeks pass by and I watch the ride unroll with varying degrees of interest, sadness, hope, worry, joy, fear, happiness, intrigue, anxiety, depression, denial, frustration and lots of wonder. The proposed MT&T tour to South Africa in July 2020 has been postponed ti...ll further notice. Regarding other future MT&T tours, we continue to wait and watch and wonder. Recently a friend shared this quote by David Attenborough:- In times of crisis, the natural world is a source of both joy and solace. The natural world produces the comfort that can come from nothing else. I hope you are well. I hope your loved ones are well and that you are in contact with them. I hope you feel connected and safe wherever you are, what ever you are doing. I hope things settle soon. See more

21.01.2022 If you’ve ever wondered about who Dr Montessori was as a person, this new publication may help. It’s sure to be a good read.

19.01.2022 A very special place for an exceptionally special woman.

19.01.2022 You may already know......Montessori Pierson Publishing Company, has recently released a new book with translations by Carolina Montessori, titled Maria Montessori Writes to her Grandchildren, letters from India, 1939 1946 Having travelled in India with the MT&T India Tour in September 2019 when we explored Montessori’s world and legacy in Chenai, Kodaikanal, Bangalore and Hyderabad, for me this new publication is a 'must read'. Find out more at: https://montessori-pierso...n.com/india.html You may not know..... There are two other publications:- Maria Montessori Sails to America a private diary, 1913 (https://montessori-pierson.com/maria-montessori-sails-to-am) and Maria Montessori writes to her father, letters from California 1915 (https://montessori-pierson.com/maria-montessori-wites-to-he). Do yourself a favour and order them as they are truly a delightful read giving the reader glimpses into aspects of Dr Montessori’s personal life. Alternatively, the MT&T Tour to Italy and The Netherlands will be visiting Montessori Pierson Publishing Company in Laren, The Netherlands and purchases will be possible

19.01.2022 Watching, watching, watching..... watching as the impact of Covid-19 ebbs and flows, spiking and falling, levelling and still, hard hitting and occasional taps. The 'M150 International Study Tour (Italy and The Netherlands) 2020' and the 'M150 Birthday Weekend (Chiaravalle, Italy) 2020' have both been cancelled. I'm sure you are not surprised by this decision. During this waiting period, thoughts and best wishes go to those who have been affected by Covid-19, either personally, their families, their friends. It's certainly a torrid time for so many people in so many ways. Stay safe, keep the distance, wash your hands, do all the right things for not only your well being but for the health of those around you.

16.01.2022 It is just about the end of 2020 and I reckon we could all write a book about the year that was... or wasn't... depending... I am very blessed to have spent time in Katherine, in the Northern Territory in Australia where Covid-19 cases were few and life was kind. I continue to watch and wait as developments change across the world. Have you ever been to the Top End of the Northern Territory in Australia? I recently prepared and guided a tour for 4 across the Top End. To fin...d out more about this trip (which was considerably different to touring in South Africa, Italy or The Netherlands but just as much fun), visit the website: https://www.montessoritoursandtravel.com/nt-top-end-2020.ht Wishing you all a happy, safe and blessed Christmas - Festive Season and cheers to a happier year in 2021. Thanks to Greg at Northern Territory Indigenous Tours and members of the traveling party for the use of these photos. See more

15.01.2022 Birthday celebrations for Maria Montessori continue in Chiaravalle, Italy.

This woman changed the lives of so many children and adults (including me) across the planet. Enjoy the celebrations.

13.01.2022 Another gem relating to the history of Dr Montessori and her work.

12.01.2022 Music is just as important in Montessori education as reading, writing and arithmetic. If music is not your strong point, consider purchasing the new publication from Montessori-Pierson Publishing Company - Montessori Approach to Music. Contributors include Maria Montessori, Mario M. Montessori and Montessori’s music specialist, Anna Maccheroni. AMI trainer Sarah Werner Andrews, edited the title and wrote an insightful introduction.

04.01.2022 Happy Birthday Maria Montessori. You were a woman before your time. A woman of vision, courage, innovation, dedication, care and intelligence. You dedicated your working life to improving the social status of the child and of women. You never lost sight of what you realised was a better way to support and enhance the natural development of the child. You've touched our lives in so many ways, causing small to significant changes, many of which were and are, life changing. Happy Birthday Maria Montessori.
