Understanding Montessori’s Cosmic Vision with the Cosmic Egg (Part 2/2)

Michael Dorer

Description

“… when I look up in the universe, I know I’m small but I’m also big. I’m big because I’m connected to the universe, and the universe is connected to me.” Neil deGrasse Tyson

This strikingly original interpretation of the five Cosmic Themes uses a set of originally designed nesting eggs with original art. The presentations will begin with an overview of what the Cosmic program is, its components, and the application of Montessori’s Cosmic Vision. The Cosmic Egg itself will be accompanied by an original story written for the egg. Original, new children’s literature created especially for the Cosmic Egg will also be displayed. The Master Classes will alternate between presentation, interviews, discussion, and storytelling.
