A common notion among all great sages and philosophers throughout history, from the earliest ages... is that we learn best through exemplification and emulation. That is to say, we (like monkeys) do, what we see. It's a wonderful encouragement (for me anyway), to continue to study the great leaders and individuals that have walked our… Continue reading The Power of Exemplification
Little Life Lessons – A 10 Week Road trip
A couple of weeks ago, we returned from 10 weeks and 10,000 km on the road. We travelled the East Coast of Australia as far as Cape Tribulation in Far north tropical Queensland. We had been researching and planning our way back south the whole trip up! It was the 2nd of August in the… Continue reading Little Life Lessons – A 10 Week Road trip
JOMO The Joy of Missing Out.
It's the end of July and we are about to set off on our next "learning journey" road schooling trip. The last several months we have been focusing on our blessings over the Winter. We have been getting cosy by our new wood fire for which we are so thankful! When not immersed in Mother… Continue reading JOMO The Joy of Missing Out.
What lights me up?
In my “past life” I was an enthusiastic activist and keyboard warrior campaigning to Politicians at every opportunity. From time to time I still am. But these days I am much more intentional in how I dedicate my time from the space of “inspiration”, rather than reaction and opposition, which often merely tends to create… Continue reading What lights me up?
Behind the Screens – as a means
It has come up so many times in conversation that I feel called to write on this, from the sheer purpose of offering one perspective. This is because I feel that having other's views and thoughts on anything can help us understand how we feel and how we can move forward when feeling uncertain with… Continue reading Behind the Screens – as a means
Diary of a Homeschool Mum
I don't know who needs to hear any of this but I just thought it might be nice to ramble on to reveal what goes on inside the mind and life of a random homeschooling Mum. You never know! Yesterday my other half invested in a new audio system for our new clinic, which led… Continue reading Diary of a Homeschool Mum
What you learn well in school
One thing learned well in school is repression. To sit on the natural urges of movement, curiosities, play, fun, research and interaction. You simply can't. A “certified expert authority” is talking at you and you must listen. No matter what’s going on at home. You can’t share what’s on your mind… in class at all.… Continue reading What you learn well in school
2 weeks back at the Homestead
We are officially back from being just shy of 10 weeks and 6000km living the van life. We travelled the east coast until we reached a beautiful beachside place just below Lismore when and where the devastating floods hit. So... as heaven and earth would have it, we were washed back down to our homeland… Continue reading 2 weeks back at the Homestead
Week 7 on the road
2 years ago our family decided we wanted to fit out a van for off grid "roadschooling". Finally after finding the perfect van and the long delays of lockdowns and isolations of several of the people involved in our fit out, we are on the road! Being 7 weeks in, I felt it a great… Continue reading Week 7 on the road
To the notion of not being “enough”…
This is a question I have seen pop up for many new to homeschooling. It's something people face in many areas of life without a doubt but most often a feeing that comes from being schooled ourselves for many. Being in competition with one another is quite normal in a system of grading and testing… Continue reading To the notion of not being “enough”…
