Virginia Spiers

Virginia grew up in rural upstate New York; raised by a couple of true hippies who fled the populated scene of New Jersey to live surrounded by nature. She attended Wells College, studied Philosophy/Religion and soon after started in Montessori. She has been a 3-6 year old guide for 15 years. She particularly loves where she works because of the strong 'Peace Curriculum'. That said, she finds there to be a significant gap between how we connect with ourselves, with one another, and, most importantly for her, with nature. She has a wonderful artist husband, two thriving step children, and a mini zoo family (2 dogs, a cat, a bird, a snake, and 3 fish tanks!) She continually endeavors to develop a mindfulness practice and is looking forward to this journey as a way to explore the cornucopia of paths that can be loved by her and shared with others.
