06. The Montessori Home & Beyond: Nurturing a Lifetime of Connection & Learning

In this episode of Sacred Rite, I speak with Teresa Angeles, educator, mother of six, and author of The Montessori Home and Beyond. Together, we explore how parents can bring the wisdom of the Montessori method into their everyday lives—no classroom required.

We dive into what makes Montessori different from traditional education models, why the first six years of life are so crucial, and how parents can nurture independence, curiosity, and emotional connection at home. Teresa shares from her personal journey raising six children with Montessori principles, and offers practical advice, templates, and encouragement for families at all stages.

This episode also touches on the growing cultural shift away from standardized education and toward more holistic, child-centered approaches. If you're seeking a more conscious, connected path to parenting and education, this conversation is for you.
