HAVENING AND MONTESSORI: A Self-Soothing and Calming Approach for Teachers, Students and Families
Presented by Marilyn Pearlman, LCSW and Erika Neil, LCSW with an Introduction from Kitty Bravo, CGMS Director of Education.
WHAT IS HAVENING?
Havening is a relatively recent psychosensory approach designed to reduce emotional distress while simultaneously enhancing psychological well-being. Havening utilizes the kinesthetic sense perception of soothing touch to the hands, arms and face. It is simple and effective such that even very young children can learn to use the technique independently. This gentle touch, when combined with pleasant distractions (humming/counting), sends an influx of neurochemical transmitters, which calms the brain, reduces stress, improves mood, facilitates receptivity for learning and facilitates connection to self and others. It can be taught safely and simply and can be exponentially passed on to others from school leaders and teachers to the students and families. The versatility, applicability, and creativity of the Havening technique is so dynamic and fluid that it is easily used in both large and small groups, individually, or with a partner, as well as for families and teacher self-care.
Please join us and become a Havening Ambassador to learn and share this amazing approach both for your school, your classroom, yourself and families. It is uplifting, fun and profound at the same time.
HAVENING means…”to put into a safe place”.
One of the Havening mantras designed by Dr. Rudan( a founding partner in this work)
applicable for our training is as follows:
“I open my mind to learning,
I open my heart to friendship,
I choose to feel safe, calm and peaceful.”

Webinar: Myths or Mandates: Rethinking Montessori Practices with Research and Reflection with Jana Morgan Herman!
2025-10-22 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
Webinar Description:
Montessori education is rich with tradition—but how many of our daily practices are grounded in Maria Montessori’s own words, and how many have evolved into “rules” we follow without question?
In this insightful and empowering session, Jana Morgan Herman invites educators to take a fresh look at some of the most common assumptions in Montessori environments—from the idea of top-to-bottom, left-to-right shelf arrangement, to the expectation of an afternoon work cycle, to what the research really says (and doesn’t say) about uninterrupted work time.
Drawing from Montessori’s original writings, developmental theory, and current research, we’ll explore where certain practices come from and how to discern whether they serve the children in front of us today. This isn’t a call to change what’s working—it’s an invitation to reflect, reconnect with core principles, and feel confident adapting practices when children’s needs call for it.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this a Montessori mandate—or just a myth we’ve come to believe?”—this session is for you.

Webinar: Could It Be CVI?: A Montessori Approach to Supporting Early Literacy Struggles with Pamela Shanks!
2025-11-20 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
Did you know that cortical visual impairment (CVI) affects approximately 1/30 children in industrialized countries? This hidden epidemic likely impacts at least one learner in your classroom. CVI is a processing disorder that affects how the brain locates, attends to, processes, and responds to visual images, including letters and numerals. CVI is being explored as a potential underlying cause for the cluster of symptoms that inform learning disorder diagnoses, such as dyslexia. Fortunately, teachers can support visual processing with simple, easy interventions. This session will provide you with the information necessary to begin making your struggling learner’s lessons and practice time more efficient and effective.

Free Webinar: Beyond the Books: How to Create Space for Social-Emotional Learning in Your School with Alix Brewer!
2026-01-22 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York)
Most schools value social-emotional learning. But between packed schedules, academic demands, and day-to-day challenges, SEL often becomes something we talk about more than something we truly live.
What does it actually look like when SEL is woven into the fabric of a school day?
In this session, you will be walked step-by-step through the Five Core Competencies of Social-Emotional Learning, gaining a clearer understanding of what SEL truly is and how it shows up in everyday school life. Rather than focusing on theory alone, this webinar offers real, practical ways to implement SEL using the SAFE Model, helping you see how these ideas translate into meaningful routines, interactions, and instructional choices. The goal is not to add more to your plate but to bring clarity to how SEL can be thoughtfully integrated in ways that feel natural, effective, and aligned with your school’s culture.
This session is designed for educators and school leaders who want clarity, confidence, and practical direction. You will leave with a deeper understanding of how SEL can be implemented thoughtfully and sustainably in your own school, without the additional stress or workload.
If you are ready to move beyond the books and bring social-emotional learning to life in your middle or high school community, this conversation is for you. Join us on Thursday, January 22nd at 11 AM ET !

Webinar: The Ripple Effect of Wonder: Creating Communities That Thrive with Tammy Oesting!
2026-01-28 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
Webinar Description:
In the heart of every Montessori environment lies an invitation to transformation—not just for the children we serve, but for every adult who walks alongside them in this sacred work. This profound session unveils The Wonder Cycle, a natural, deeply philosophical framework that illuminates how authentic growth unfolds when we align ourselves with the universal patterns that govern all development. Whether you’re a classroom guide discovering the magic of your prepared environment, a school leader nurturing your community’s evolution, or a parent seeking to understand your child’s unfolding journey, this exploration reveals how creating conditions for genuine transformation becomes not only possible, but inevitable when we honor nature’s own design.
Drawing from the rich wellspring of Montessori’s cosmic vision and contemporary insights into human development, we’ll journey together through both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of this transformative cycle. You’ll discover how wonder serves as the catalyst for deep learning, how to recognize and nurture the natural rhythms of growth in both children and adults, and why understanding these universal patterns can revolutionize your approach to education and community building. This is both a philosophical deep dive into the essence of human potential and a treasure trove of immediately applicable strategies that will breathe new life into your daily practice—whether you’re guiding a toddler’s first explorations or stewarding an entire school’s vision for the future.
