Navigating Challenges

November 29th, 8pm-9.30pm

 With invited guests: Domari Wearen and Heidi Steel
Hosted by: Esther Jones and Melissa Crockett-Joyoue 

There will be lots of inevitable challenges along the path and, even when it all feels difficult, these are always an opportunity to learn more about ourselves and our children. We'll be talking with our guests about how we can approach challenging situations in ways that can serve us and our children, and our relationship together. 

In this 90-minute Zoom session, you'll have the chance to engage in personal reflection, interactive discussion, and live Q&A with our experienced guests and hosts. 

GUESTS:

HEIDI STEEL is the founder of Live Play Learn and the Unschooling Village Hub, and author of the book ‘School Isn’t for Everyone and What You Can Do Instead: A Practical and Neuro-Affirming Guide to Unschooling’. She has over 14 years of hands-on experience as an unschooling parent of four always-unschooled children. Heidi shares a practical, down-to-earth approach that builds connection, trust, and a lifelong love of learning.  Heidi’s work is rooted in the belief that children learn best when they are trusted and given the space to follow their natural curiosity.

DOMARI WEAREN is a magic-making, joy-bringing, cycle-breaking, love-filled, liberation-minded disruptor exploring what happens when we get curious about who we are, pay attention to how we’re showing up, and intentionally practice who we choose to be. Through identity experiments, workshops, resources, and 1:1 coaching, she helps people collect evidence from their everyday lives and use what they notice to make more intentional choices about how they want to show up in the world.
