You are enthusiastically invited to attend!
Join hundreds of unschooling families from around the globe as we rethink the meanings of education, learning, parenting...and life! Rethinking Education supports attachment parenting, unconditional love, support for each person's unique journey of life experience, freedom with responsibility, unschooling and you. YOU are the vital ingredient at this conference, as we come together and revel in the magic and mystery of kindred spirits and each other's rich diversity, as we challenge ourselves to trust the extraordinary process of living and learning, the wondrous ability to improve the ways we communicate, discovering new ways of listening to one another, giving full support to our dreams, no matter how wild or ordinary, large or small.
Unschooling is vital to the profoundly intelligent development of our children. And yes, as adults we can even unschool ourselves... as you will discover.
You are invited! Are you ready?

Here is a link I think you'll enjoy. The writer of the blog is a mama to 4 little ones she calls her gurus. Please share it with others. http://undonemama. blogspot. com/
Thanks for adding me! I hope you'll drop by and read my blogs on the nine very distinct, wonderfully different Enneagram types. Well, I've only written brief descriptions on Types 2 (the helper), 3 (the achiever), 4 (the individualist), and 5 (the observer), but I'll get to rest of them very soon! Please ask questions or leave comments. BTW, unschooling is so cool!
Hi! My name is Andra, and I am the senior editor for a small news publication. We are mostly an unschooled staff and many of our contributors are as well.
We are going to publish a new issue BEFORE the next unschooling conference, and we would LOVE to have some input and contributions from some of the people who will be there, or have previously attended.
Why do you unschool? What do you think are the advantages of it? How has it helped shape you? What are your expiriences with past RE Conferences?
We are also accepting artwork, cretive writing, and any other articles of interest.
