1.0 The Importance of Story

This course is not for children. Perhaps there will be Montessori Heathen courses in the future that are for children, but this one is for adults. It will give us the opportunity to explore ideas in a way that is safe so that we can learn from our mistakes instead of avoiding mistakes. 

I will be introducing a number of stories from Montessori and from the Heathen Lore that will help us to connect with land, culture, and ancestors. After we establish this base of story, we will be able to move on to more challenging topics that are difficult to discuss. Creating inclusivity, connecting to the land where we are, and being good allies to Indigenous peoples. We must actively decolonize ourselves to create a better world. Racism, ableism, sexism, etc. will be discussed through the lens of Heathen storytelling.

This course is entirely free and not for credit. Please participate if you feel it is valuable to you. It is my hope to be creating accessible versions in the near future as well. 

For now use the table of contents or navigation within each module to move on to the next one.
