Unschool for Life

There is a growing desire among parents for a more fulfilling way of living life with their children. The feeling that there must be a more meaningful way to navigate the joys and challenges of family life has caused people to question the conventional scripts we’ve inherited. There is a longing for a deeper, more enriching experience that nurtures lasting curiosity and love for life. Unschooling families yearning for a more gratifying, holistic lifestyle are embracing journeys of self-discovery, mutual respect and healing; trusting that how they tend their family not only makes all the difference for them personally, but also creates positive ripple effects into the collective future.

For educators longing to leave behind schoolish approaches and instead engage with learning in non-coercive, holistic ways, we’re here to support you throughout your transition to self-directed living and learning. We understand the desire you have to break free from systems that promote conformity and competition over diversity and cooperation. Like you, we believe that education should be a journey of exploration and self-discovery. That's why we provide in depth support to help you dig deep into your conditioned biases, explore unschooling philosophy and create relationally centered learning environments that nurture joyful, natural learning.

For teens and young adults struggling under the constraints of conventional education, unschooling opens up worlds of possibility and freedom. With the desire to learn and grow on your own terms, you can break away from rigid structures and predefined routes to embrace a more flexible, personalized and joyful approach to life and learning where curiosity and intuition become your trusted guides. By taking ownership of your learning and designing your own life journey, you have the opportunity to delve deep into your passions, dabble in your many interests, cultivate all kinds of valuable skills, explore off the beaten path and find what truly lights you up inside.

Whether you are just beginning your journey or are a seasoned traveler, support from someone who has traveled a similar road before can be just what’s needed.

Receive private mentoring or consultation for yourself, your family or your organization. Co-created in response to your specific questions and needs, sessions include deep listening and discussion and extend to resource referrals, and somatic and intergenerational healing practices appropriate for assisting you on your path.
