[Download] Nervous System Regulation- Polyvagal Theory handouts
Hello Friends, Thank you to everyone who messaged us after the Checking In email. I appreciate the time you took to respond and the feedback you provided. I am reminded once again that the Montessori community is beautiful and strong. We had a few requests about an easy way to share the email and where to find a downloadable version of the Polyvagal Theory graphics. You are welcome to forward the email to anyone who you feel would benefit from it. Here is a public viewing link if you would prefer to share this: https://ckarchive.com/b/mvu7h5hqg2mo9sv5oo45wirzv02qqa3 This handout comes from a workbook I sourced for a side project that's been brewing. The project isn't due for public release until December 2025 but considering how world events are progressing, I may have to speed up that timeline. I've also added this workbook to the Leadership Library. If you are a member, you can log in and find it in the Leadership section. Be well... and stay regulated! You need to be able to make strategic decisions!

And when that bus stopped, every car in both directions stopped with it. I didn’t know the rule. But I understood the meaning instantly and it overwhelmed me: these people...
Hello Friends, Last week I said that we are the Vision Keepers and the Promise Holders - the ones who nurture, guide, and hold the vision for our communities. We claim this role because we know the work of nurturing is not small. It is ancient, expansive, transformative. But claiming this role comes with a responsibility: the responsibility to set the narrative. Because if we are not setting the narrative, someone else is. And today, the narratives being told do not serve the needs of all. As...
What do you do when you don’t know what to do? When the ground shakes beneath you. When the urge to fight or flee or freeze takes over. Last week, I shared resources for staying regulated—because you must stay regulated. Not because this moment isn’t urgent. Not because you can afford to look away. Not because anger isn't important. But because you cannot meet chaos with more chaos and expect to create order. Pause. Breathe. Then remember this: You are not meant to do it all. You cannot hold...
