Radical Learning Talks

We are living in a time of extreme fear and uncertainty, which for many of us causes us to make restrictive choices.  In this episode we dive into how our fears disempower us and limit us from living truly fulfilling lives and how our fears affect our relationships.  We also give tips on how to unpack our fears, heal generational trauma and develop the courage to live more freely as we embark on our unschooling journey.

In this episode we demystify the meaning of deschooling and how it is a tool for liberation...moving away from systems based on control and fear, towards authenticity and transformation. We talk about how deschooling is a process for both children and adults and how it’s ultimately about breaking cycles, detoxing from oppressive structures and nurturing the relationship between adults and children.  We also share tips for adults to help support and advocate for their kid’s freedom.

In this episode, we interview  Merry MacIvor Andersen, a former unschooler, current unschooling mom and community member of an agile learning center in Mexico.  Merry shares about the beauties and challenges of unschooling and about the importance of self reflection and authencity in building relationships based on trust.

In this episode we define what self directed education, unschooling and free learning are and how any education system should not be “one size fits all”.   We discuss the roots of the education system and begin to challenge the conventional way of looking at how we learn. How is the SDE model better preparing our kids to adapt to an ever changing world? We talk about how SDE works, what are some options in SDE, what are some tips in approaching SDE and we begin to look at the process of deschooling.

This podcast is an intro into who Sari and Becka are, what inspired them to unschool, how the pandemic has inspired a paradigm shift and what radical learning means.  They share more about the shift they are hoping to inspire and support in others of questioning how we look at learning, education, and it means to be in community. How can we get back to our roots and allow ourselves to witness the natural learning process in ourselves and others? What are some things that trip us up and what are some practical tips on how we can begin to challenge our fears and shift our mindset to embrace unschooling, free learning and equitable relationship building?  Sari and Becka talk about the foundations of free learning and how we as parents have a wonderful opportunity to dare to question how we are doing things, what kinds of relationships we want to have and and what future we want for ourselves, our kids, our families and the world.
