The Essence of Deschooling

From control to connection. From fear to trust. From unlearning old conditioning — to remembering who we are.

Parenting with trust doesn’t feel easy — even when it feels right in your mind.
It can feel like:

  • you know what you want — yet your reactions don’t match

  • you want connection, not control

  • moments of clarity come and go with overwhelm

Some days, you feel aligned — and other days you feel reactive, unsure, or exhausted.

You’re not alone in this tension.
This program supports the real, lived experience of trying to live trust-based values in the daily pressure of life.

Who It's For

This experience is for parents who:

  • already believe that fear-based and control-driven parenting doesn’t work
  • want to understand their own patterns, not just learn new techniques
  • feel the pull between intention and reaction
  • are ready to explore what lives in the body and nervous system
  • want support before, during, and after triggers happen


Some participants are unschooling or exploring self-directed learning.
Others are parenting consciously while their kids are still in school.

What they share is not a label — it’s the felt experience of living this work under pressure.

Join the next Deeply Deschooling cohort!

What You'll Experience

During Deeply Deschooling you will:

  • be seen and heard in your real struggles
  • learn to notice fear and pressure as they arise
  • deepen connection with your own nervous system
  • build clarity about what you truly want to embody
  • experience somatic tools that help you stay present
  • practice reflection, not perfection


This isn’t about pushing harder or doing more.
It’s about understanding what holds you back from living what you already know matters.

Deeply Deschooling is a live, interactive journey — not a pre-recorded course.

We meet eight times during four months on Zoom.
All sessions are recorded so you can revisit them anytime.

This is a space to:

  • explore your real reactions

  • share reflections with others who feel this tension

  • develop support rhythms that outlast the cohort

You’ll have lifetime access to recordings.

The Journey

Over 8 live online sessions, we’ll explore how to:

  • Co-create a consent-based learning culture at home.

  • See where you are in your deschooling path and what’s calling next.

  • Shift from fear and control toward trust and collaboration.

  • Develop communication rooted in authenticity and care.

  • Release pressure and perfectionism while strengthening connection.

  • Build a family culture grounded in equity and empowerment.

  • Find clarity in your role as a parent walking a path without school.

This isn’t about getting it right. It’s about getting real — and learning to live, love, and lead with more presence.

What else is included?

Apart from our 8 live coaching sessions, you get:

  • 7 Accountability Partner Sessions

    Give and receive support

    Because transformation happens in relationship. You’ll be paired with another participant to give and receive support every two weeks. These sessions help you integrate the learning between our group calls — and many partners continue long after the program ends.

  • The Deschooling Support Kit & 6 Keys Framework

    A unique guide and our framework to support you during and after the program

    A practical, heart-centered guide to ground your journey. It includes reflections and tools on: modeling, authenticity, limiting beliefs, behavioral patterns, the fear of the adult gaze, and reconnecting to your inner compass — all through the six keys to building relationships based on trust and consent.

  • Community portal

    We're all in this together

    You’re not alone in this work. Our private online space is where we share insights, challenges, and celebrations — a place to be witnessed, held, and encouraged as you unlearn and rebuild together.

How This Work Will Transform You

Deeply Deschooling doesn’t just change what you think.
It supports how change feels inside your body and relationships.

Real support — not just ideas — helps people:

  • notice how pressure hijacks intention

  • understand their own emotional and nervous system responses

  • build stronger connection with their children

  • grow confidence in uncertainty and contradiction

This work is not about arriving somewhere else.
It’s about becoming someone who can live their values even when life is hard.

The Space We Hold

  • We don’t offer formulas or quick fixes.
  • We hold space for the deep inner work that makes genuine agency possible.


Our role is to listen, mirror, and gently challenge the conditioning that keeps you stuck.
We draw on a wide range of modalities — including Resonance Practice, Sense Thinking, Family Constellations, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and Tarot — depending on the needs of the group.

Each tool supports reflection, integration, and healing in different ways — whether it’s helping you release emotional charge, make sense of hidden dynamics, or reconnect with your intuition.

We bring decades of experience — as parents, educators, and facilitators — to support your process of remembering how to relate from wholeness and connection.

You’ll get out of this program what you bring to it.

The more you show up, the more life-changing it becomes.

Deschooling is the path home — to trust, to freedom, to relationship.

If you’re ready to explore what lies beneath the surface, to unlearn what no longer serves you, and to raise your kids in a context of consent and connection — we’re here to walk beside you. Transformation begins beneath the surface.

Testimonials

“Before Deeply Deschooling, I was trapped in fear - terrified that I was making horrible decisions about my children’s education and would spend the rest of my life regretting them. Now? I know I’m on the right path. Deeply Deschooling helped me get crystal clear on why we are unschooling. I no longer need certainty about the future, because I’m grounded in the certainty of my values and intuition. This program gave me the courage to stop dancing around the edges and finally claim unschooling. I’m no longer in the contemplative phase - I’ve taken the dive. And it’s revolutionary. Sari and Becka have been the midwives of our unschooling lives. They’ve asked the hard questions with tremendous tenderness, always holding space for us as parents while centering the needs of our children. Their guidance is fierce, vulnerable, deeply human - and filled with love. The container they created was absolutely magical. From the beginning, our group felt held by a brave, intimate community of parents. That feeling of being truly seen helped me trust my own knowing. This program didn’t just give me tools - it gave me the support I needed to use them. In our family, we’ve stopped swinging wildly between rigid control and chaos. We’ve learned to slow down, to pause before reacting, to stay curious instead of judgmental. And most importantly, I’ve worked hard to make sure fear is no longer in the driver’s seat. The biggest takeaway for me? Community is everything. When I’m supported by voices I trust, I can trust myself and my kids more fully. Deeply Deschooling has helped me meet one of the most important challenges of my life with my values intact - with courage, with presence, and with valor. From the top, middle, and bottom of my heart: thank you.”

Amanda

“What I loved about this program is that no matter how long you've been on the journey of deschooling, this program can expand your understanding and challenge you to evaluate even more how our world oppresses young people. Becka and Sari bring their wealth of knowledge and expertise to facilitate these sessions with vulnerability and intentionality. I have my own children and also work in an SDE space and this program was beneficial for me in thinking about my role in both realms. I feel like Deeply Deschooling has given me more tools and understanding of my own triggers and my childhood. All the young people in my care will be affected by my ability to think better about myself and the young people as we live life together!”

Michelle

“Before Deeply Deschooling I was struggling with trusting the self-directed education process; not fully understanding the extent of deschooling; lacking in community/people to talk with around it. Hearing others' perspectives has been really helpful, as well as the always deep and pertinent insights from Sari and Becka. I feel more grounded in this space and in my body in relation to this work. The specific tools we worked with around connecting somatically to important words/concepts was especially meaningful and helpful. I now feel like I have a stronger commitment and awareness of trusting this process in my body.”

Rosemary

“Before joining the Deeply Deschooling program, I struggled with pushing myself and my son to do too much - trying to do everything, all at once. This space helped me see and accept the wisdom of letting go. It reminded me that parenting isn’t just about responsibility - it’s also an invitation to be curious and joyful. Since March, I’ve become more confident in setting boundaries and giving myself the space I need. That shift has made it easier for me to support my son when things don’t go as planned. I can now process my emotions in a way that feels healthier for both of us. One of the most important things I take away from this program is the experience of being in a space where I don’t have to mask - where I can be vulnerable without fear of being targeted. Becka and Sari guide with so much love and openness. The support they provide is truly amazing. This program has helped me through one of the most challenging years of my life. There isn’t one single story I can point to - rather, it’s the cumulative impact. The friendships, the reflection, the support - they’ve helped me see where I am and how I’m growing. I’ve started interacting differently with my family of origin, and I now feel more rooted in appreciation and growth. My curiosity and courage have been nurtured, and in turn, my family is reaping the rewards. I’m so grateful for this program. Thank you for creating this beautiful garden - and for showing us how to plant and tend to our own. Your transparency, laughter, and grace are a gift.”

“​I feel both grateful for and extremely satisfied with all the support I've received during the Deeply Deschooling program. It's an experience that have left me feeling fully alive, totally connected to myself and everyone else around me. I'm so grateful to finally have had the opportunity to experience true vulnerability, authenticity, curiosity, diversion, creativity and infinite play! Thank you Sari and Becka for guiding me in my process and showing me how to become free.”

Daniela​

“I feel so incredibly grateful for all of the things I've learned from you and all the support I've gotten through the Deeply Deschooling coaching program. It has been tremendously helpful. I can see where I used to be, and where I am now, and it's such a different place. The deschooling work is so radical and requires so much courage that if I hadn't had all that support, I wouldn't have been in a good place right now. But I am because of everything I've learned! Thank you so much!”

From control to connection. From fear to trust.

Becka Koritz

Facilitator

A teacher gone rogue and bridge-weaver between worlds, Becka has spent her life exploring what happens when we move from control to connection — in education, in parenting, in ourselves.

Born in Sweden and shaped by the Montessori philosophy, she has lived in Mexico since 2003, where she founded two Waldorf initiatives and Explora, Mexico’s first Agile Learning Center.

Her work through Radical Learning is rooted in youth liberation and the belief that every child deserves to grow in trust, consent, and belonging. Becka now devotes her time to coaching, training, and creating resources for families walking a self-directed path.

Drawing from Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Tarot as tools for emotional release, reflection, and insight, she supports adults in integrating their inner healing with their relationships to children and learning.

She’s the mama of a neurodivergent young adult unschooler who continues to remind her that freedom and love are learned — together.

Becka’s gift lies in connecting the dots and translating deep insight into everyday practice. Her clarity and compassion help others see beyond fear and remember what freedom feels like.

Sari González

Facilitator

A lifelong advocate for youth empowerment and social justice, Sari has spent more than two decades reimagining how adults and young people can thrive together in learning and in life.

She’s the co-founder of Radical Learning and the director of Explora Agile Learning Community in Mexico — a space built on consent, autonomy, and belonging.

Before stepping into this work, Sari left the corporate world to dedicate herself fully to transforming education from the inside out. Her journey has included leadership in programs like Summer Search, Farm School NYC, and Cottonwood NYC, all rooted in community, equity, and youth voice.

An unschooling mama, educator, and facilitator trainer, Sari brings a rare blend of clarity, practicality, and heart. Her approach weaves together Family Constellation, SenseThinking, and Resonance Practice — modalities that help adults cultivate awareness, attunement, and intentional culture in their homes and learning spaces.

Sari is a fierce defender young people’s freedom — a grounded, compassionate communicator who knows how to turn conflict into connection and boundaries into love.
