"Rest is something sacred, valuable, and worthy of our respect." — Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith
Montessori educators: when was the last time you felt that way about your own rest?
This May, we're sitting down together to talk about the 7 types of rest — and how investing in yourself is one of the most profound things you can do for the children in your care.

Did you know there are 7 types of rest?
Physical 🧘 Mental 🧠 Emotional 💛 Sensory 🌿 Creative 🎨 Social 🤝 Spiritual 🌱
Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith's research shows most of us are chronically depleted in at least a few of these — and we don't even know which ones.
For Montessori guides, this hits different. We give so much. But the philosophy asks something profound of us: to be the Prepared Adult.
You can't prepare the environment if you haven't prepared yourself.
Join us May 9th to explore what real rest looks like — and what it makes possible.

🙋 Raise your hand if you slept 7 hours last night and still woke up exhausted.
Yeah. Same.
Here's the thing: sleep and rest are not the same thing. And most of us are missing out on 6 other types of rest we didn't even know we needed.
We're exploring all of it — through a Montessori lens — at our upcoming Reading Roundtable:

🚨 REGISTRATION CLOSES TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT 🚨

Tomorrow morning at 9am MT, Part Two begins.

If you're on the fence:
❌ "I missed Part One." ✅ You'll get the recording tonight. You're ready.
❌ "I don't know if I have more to learn." ✅ Part Two is all new — applied, practical, deeper.
❌ "I don't have time." ✅ 90 minutes tomorrow could save you months of unresolved tension.
❌ "I'm nervous." ✅ So was everyone on March 7th. We were better together.

The conversations your school needs don't get easier by waiting.
They get easier by practicing — together.

See you tomorrow.

⏰ 48 HOURS until Courageous Conversations Part Two

The difficult conversations at your school haven't resolved themselves since March 7th.
The tensions haven't dissolved because you've been patient.
The concerns people aren't voicing aren't disappearing — they're fermenting.

But tomorrow, you could walk away with deeper tools to meet those moments.

Cassi Mackey returns to guide us through applied practice, real scenarios, and the community agreements that make courageous dialogue sustainable.

⏰ 4 DAYS: Courageous Conversations Part Two

Some of you were there on March 7th. You know what's waiting.
Some of you are showing up for the first time. You'll get the Part One recording. You're ready.

What everyone will walk away with on April 4th:
✓ Skills for navigating real scenarios with clarity and care
✓ Frameworks for sustaining courageous conversation culture
✓ Shared agreements to implement immediately
✓ Community with fellow educators doing this brave work

This is a shared inquiry. Not a lecture. Your voice matters.

Culture doesn't change from a single workshop. Here's what actually works. 💚

Sustainable culture change requires:
→ Shared language
→ Repeated practice
→ Leaders willing to go first — over and over again
→ Community agreements that outlast any single conversation

In Part Two of Courageous Conversations, Cassi Mackey helps us build exactly this.

Not just how to have one difficult conversation. But how to make courageous dialogue the expected, practiced, valued norm in your Montessori community.

April 4, 2026 | 9–10:30 AM MT | Virtual

Cassi has spent 30+ years watching schools get this right — and wrong. She knows the difference. She's ready to share it.

There's a gap between knowing the framework and actually using it. 🌱

Most of us know we should:
✓ Create psychological safety
✓ Prepare the environment for dialogue
✓ Have the hard conversation before it becomes a crisis

We KNOW. But knowing doesn't always become doing — especially when the tension is real and the person is sitting across from you at a staff meeting.

That gap is exactly what Courageous Conversations Part Two is designed to close.

April 4, 2026 | 9–10:30 AM MT | Virtual

Cassi Mackey guides us through real Montessori scenarios, applied practice, and community agreements that make courageous dialogue the norm.

The question you didn't get to ask on March 7th? 🤫

We heard from so many of you after Part One:

"There's a situation at my school I wanted to bring up — but we ran out of time."

Those questions deserve answers. Those situations deserve dialogue.

That's what Part Two is for.

April 4, 2026 | 9–10:30 AM MT | Virtual

Cassi Mackey returns to help us go further — past frameworks, into the messy, real application of building courageous conversation culture in actual Montessori schools.

We went back to Cassi. She said yes. 💚

On March 7th, something rare happened. The dialogue was so real, so honest, so alive — that 90 minutes wasn't enough.

So we're doing Part Two.

Courageous Conversations: Bridges to Belonging — Part Two
with Cassi Mackey, M.Ed.
April 4, 2026 | 9–10:30 AM MT | Virtual

This isn't a repeat. It's a continuation.

In Part Two, we move from frameworks to practice:
→ Real scenarios from Montessori schools
→ Deeper tools for sustaining conversation culture
→ Shared agreements you can implement now
→ More time for the dialogue we didn't finish

New to the series? You'll get the Part One recording when you register. Everyone is welcome.
