Deschooling through Nature: Healing and Growth in the Garden
Deschooling is an important step for families transitioning from traditional education. This workshop uses the garden as a metaphor and practice for releasing rigid systems, timelines, and expectations. Participants will explore how time in nature supports healing, curiosity, and natural learning. Families will learn how gardening helps rebuild trust, regulate emotions, and create space for growth for both children and parents.
