"I am in deep gratitude to Carla Foster and Kyla Morenz for the precious teachings brought through this amazing workshop about the Timeline of Life. Such a priviledge and so much appreciation for the industrious creativity and joyful, playful expression that Carla Foster brings into this world. Her passion and love of Life, of knowledge, of creative writing, music and song! Amazing and inspiring!"
Lavinia - GabrielaWorkshop "Timeline of Life"
"Thank you for this weekend. It revived my curiosity and excitement about how life managed to come back. I was stuck a little in the math - language - national curriculum spiral and I had forgotten the Montessori vision."
