​​
Get ready for a huge paradigm shift!
Unschooling looks like a simple enough idea, but for the parent, it requires a huge paradigm shift! Even though your heart tells you you made the right choice, it’s hard to let go of ingrained notions about learning and parenting. Unschooling flies in the face of these notions and, in order for you to make progress, you’ll have to challenge a lot of conventional wisdom and many of your own beliefs.
Helping our children thrive​
The Mindful Deschooling course will help you embrace this new journey with curiosity and self-compassion. It will give you a deep understanding of how your child really learns and what they need to thrive. And, we’ll look at all the ways in which self-directed learning helps our children live fully into their whole, authentic selves. ​You’ll learn how to hold and support your child in this journey, and what it means to create an environment in which they can truly thrive, and in which you are a trusted ally. If your child is neurodivergent and/or struggled in a school setting, you'll explore how to help them heal and reconnect with themselves.
​​
Using the challenges to grow and learn
And, you’ll learn how to embrace all the tricky moments as opportunities for growth and transformation. These moments of discomfort are often a sign that our deep conditioning is being challenged. With the help of mindfulness practices, you’ll learn to notice when you are reacting out of fear or worry, and when there is a deeper, more authentic desire that you would like to follow instead. Whether it's to do with maths, reading, autonomy or socialising, being able to work out what is triggering you and how to choose a new, more aligned response, is a deschooling superpower. And, it will be transformational in your life with your children.
​​
Living our own best lives
And finally, the Mindful Deschooling course is an invitation to you to live your best life. When parenting requires us to invest so much energy and thought in our children, it can be easy to lose ourselves. But, if we are to encourage our children to show up confidently as their whole selves in the world then it’s important that we also try to do this. We’ll look at what we need in our lives to keep returning to who we really are, and to give us the courage and self-compassion to allow us to show up authentically.
