Your heart understands that there’s a different way, but you don’t know how to bring that to life.
Perhaps school age is approaching and you have a feeling that mainstream education isn’t right for you… but it’s confusing or scary to consider doing something so different to the norm.
Or perhaps you’ve been home educating a little while and have tried a bunch of stuff – even MORE structure or even LESS structure- but you are over the nagging, the disconnect, the lack of joy.
It wasn’t meant to be like this?!
I’m here to help with that.
I knew early on that I wanted a different path for our family.
And now over the years more than 800 people have taken the DISCO unschooling course, and are experiencing life in a whole new way.
As a mum of two kids who’ve never been to school and a trained Applied Depths Coach, I am here to hold your hand as you ask the big questions about the kind of childhood you want to provide for your kids.
I’m here to help you bring to life the vision that has felt out of reach for your child’s learning.
…creating a life that is delightful and entirely ones own, luxuriating in joy and pleasure, embracing the dark side, and being courageous enough to let life be lived through you.
I’m a dedicated imperfectionist. If you are ready to experiment and play and create and see what happens without fear of getting it wrong, you’ll love this scene.
I’m not for you if… you want to avoid diving deep!
It’s here to set you on the path to a different childhood for your kids, and a better connection between you.
You have imagined a different childhood for your kids, right?
One where they feel able to grow into exactly who they are rather than squeezed into a box.
One where their energy and creativity has full expression, where their rights and dignity are upheld…
But you have just a few questions and concerns to work through before saying a full YES to that childhood!
This is for you if…
Uncover the weekly themes in easy to access video content with accompanying workbooks!
Ask questions and dive into each week's theme and content in depth, learning and exploring together.
Take your time, let life get in the way and come back again. DISCO will be waiting.
A private community space that allows for personalised responses and daily support.
In Week One we put you firmly on the map, so you know where you are, where you want to go and how you are going to get there!
We begin to explore any fears and resistance, to clear the way for imagining a different future.
We take a brief historical tour of education and start to understand why we so deeply yearn for something different for our family.
To understand where we are going and why, we have to understand where we are coming from.
We discover how children learn and why traditional schooling is failing our children.
We bed down in our understanding of how unschooling supports learning, and see the unique ways the unschooled child ends up with all the important stuff from a traditional curriculum under their belt.
We address one of the most common fears around self-directed learning – learning to read.
This module is designed to help you feel more confident when responding to concerns from family members about your choices.
In Week Three we take a macro look at the importance of re-imagining childhood and education.
Why are we trying to solve 21st century problems with 19th century education models and curriculum?
What are the kinds of skills children are going to need and how can we facilitate our kids having access to them?
Module three will strengthen your resolve in the power of self directed learning for a better future, and your desire to have a child able to contribute to it.
We look at the practical aspects of self directed learning at home and how people make this work in different circumstances.
What are you going to need and how are you going to access it?
I introduce the “Four C’s” of successful unschooling.
The brilliant Akilah S Richards comes in as guest educator for a segment on unschooling as liberation work and creating equitable spaces.
You lean in to your vision of yourself as an unschooling family and finish with the fuel to achieve it!
This is also our final Q and A.
A different way is entirely possible, and there are tens of thousands of parents across the globe that are doing this thing right now.
To be uncertain makes sense. It’s an unknown journey.
And with the echo of generic, monotonous, rote routine schooling that so many of us experienced, we can both know deeply that there is a better way, and be afraid of what the unknown may be.
I created DISCO because I wanted to to show you the possibility of something unique and bespoke- and give you tools to navigate your fear and concerns.
This way of life gives you the connection to your kids, and their lives, that we thought we would get by ticking all the boxes provided to us.
We can unravel that Sunday feeling of dread, and give our kids a brighter, creative, independent, voracious, future.
One that we all benefit from.
Because when our kids do well, and are travelling through life sharing their experiences with us, we are putting in place a connection that will last a lifetime.
