In a cozy little tree house nestled along the salt marshes of South Carolina’s lowcountry, Miranda Altice lives with her husband and daughters (*Punkee and *Seastar) balancing the norm and a progressive, contemplative lifestyle. By day she is a teacher at a Montessori charter school, and by night a wife, mother, and mad scientist. During her worldly travels her studies threw her into the fields of
marine biology, journalism, progressive education, natural medicine, yoga, and the enchanting world of shamanic reiki. Over the course of these journeys and rites of passage, Miranda has become The Indigo Teacher for children and educators. As a teacher for nearly ten years she believes wholeheartedly in visualizations and manipulative activities to invoke the senses, inspire creativity, movement, and peaceful social interaction. All of this while providing a gentle, but consistent immersion in Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). As a master naturalist and master herbalist, The Indigo Teacher’s lessons are mostly science-based, and easily integrate all other subjects showing how everything is ultimately connected and can be beautifully interwoven. She also likes to use various lessons as metaphors for social-emotional learning and spiritual growth and awareness. Because we are, in fact, nurturing the new generation.
