You need support to stay with yourself when fear takes over.
You believe in a different way of raising and learning with your kids — outside of the conventional school system.
More trust. More connection. More freedom.
But in the moments that matter… fear, doubt, and pressure take over.
And suddenly — it doesn’t feel okay anymore.
You’re not just trying to parent differently.
You’re trying to live differently.
Something feels off… and you can’t quite explain why.
You feel it before you can name it — a tightness, a sense that something isn’t okay.
Your child is on a screen all day…
or it looks like nothing is happening.
Or maybe it’s learning, reading, math, or socialization...
and a quiet voice says: “This should look different.”
You start wondering:
Are they learning enough?
What about their future?
Are they going to be okay?
Am I messing this up?
Nothing actually changed.
But inside you — everything did.
And suddenly… it doesn’t feel okay anymore.
It’s not that you don’t believe in this path.
It’s not that you don’t trust your child.
It’s that something in you gets activated and pulls you out of that trust.
You get caught in a loop:
Fear → self-doubt → pressure → disconnection
It happens fast — before you have time to think.
You react in ways you didn’t want to.
You question everything.
Later, you’re left wondering: Why does this keep happening?
This is the fear spiral that shows up when you’re trying to do something outside the system you were raised in.
Most of us were shaped inside systems like school — built on pressure, performance, and control.
They taught us to live with:
So even when you choose a different path, those patterns come with you.
When something feels uncertain, your body reacts before your mind can catch up.
That urgency, that tightness, that need to act — is trying to protect you.
Those patterns live in how you react, relate, and how you make decisions.
And they don’t change just because you understand them.
That’s the deeper work of deschooling.
This isn’t a course or a parenting program.
And it’s not about giving you more strategies.
It’s about unpacking what shaped you.
This work is for people trying to live outside the dominant education paradigm — and untangle what that paradigm left behind.
Deeply Deschooling is a small, facilitated space where you bring real moments — fear, triggers, doubt — and we work with them together.
Because even when you choose a different path, those patterns still show up in the moment.
So when those moments come up… you don’t get pulled the same way.
You don’t stop having hard moments.
But:
Even when those moments come up — you know how to handle them.
You don’t just understand trust.
You start to live it.
Deeply Deschooling is a 4-month small-group container.
Inside, you get:
Some are unschooling.
Some are transitioning out.
Some are still navigating school due to life circumstances.
What they share is this:
They want to live differently — and stay with that when it gets hard.
You don’t have to perform confidence you don’t feel.
You don’t have to pretend the fear isn’t there.
Especially when you’re trying to live outside systems that trained you to do the opposite.
This is a space where you can bring the hard moments — and not have to hold them by yourself.
If you’ve been in that moment — where everything you believe disappears and fear takes over — this is the work.
Join Deeply Deschooling
Deeply Deschooling is facilitated by Becka Koritz and Sari González, educators and unschooling parents who have spent decades supporting families and learning communities rooted in trust and self-directed learning.
Our work draws on practices including:
But the deepest learning often comes from the community itself — parents witnessing each other and realizing they’re not alone.
“Before joining Deeply Deschooling, I was struggling to fully grasp, understand, explain, and implement the concept of “deschooling.” This program strengthened my understanding and gave me a broader network of fellow deschoolers.
I feel much more comfortable with the concept of deschooling and how to apply it in my life. Most of all, I’ve gained tools for more effective communication with my kids. It’s allowed me to find a centering calmness when I’m in conversation with them. I’m able to slow my thoughts down, which lowers my stress levels — and that alone improves everything. Better, more effective communication ushers in understanding. And through that, my kiddos feel trusted, respected, loved.
One story that stands out: Improved trust and communication allowed my son to spend an entire day with his grandmother, confidently preparing all aspects of our Thanksgiving feast. That moment showed me what’s possible.
The most important takeaway for me? Seeing each other as whole. To Sari and Becka: you are doing such important work. Thank you. (Those words are not enough!!!) ”

“This program has taught me to trust myself and to plant my flag in the well-being of my children- and release some preconceived notions about what that needs to look like. It has allowed me some freedom in my mind from limiting beliefs about what the parent/child relationship should be.
Something profound has shifted: I believe my children are safe with me. I know that taking care of myself is an act of love towards my children. I listen to them better. I’m more curious about their experience. I see adultism all around me and try to be a living example of respect for young people. I trust myself to be an effective parent to these children. I can release dogma and others’ opinions to create a new experience of the adventure of parenting. 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!”

“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.

“I used to struggle with trusting my kids, trusting myself, and even knowing what deschooling could really look like.
Through the program, the somatic practices helped me start tuning in to my body. This changed how I parent. I now stop to notice what’s happening inside me before reacting. I bring this practice into every part of our family life.
I’ve gained confidence that I’m on the right path for myself and my family. I no longer believe that conventional school is the only route to “success.” I now trust that my children will thrive — be happy, healthy, informed, and kind — without school. And they’ll know and trust themselves more because of this. I have more patience for and curiosity about my kids’ and partner’s needs and behaviors. And that’s led to more peace, more play, and more learning in our home.
This program wasn’t just about strategies — it gave me something I didn’t even know I needed: intimate connection with other deschoolers. I found community. And that community strengthened my belief that life is full of learning, that joy matters, and that I can truly trust myself and my kids.
The group sessions, partner work, and somatic exercises all offered different ways to connect, reflect, and grow. Becka and Sari hold space with so much care, clarity, and respect — including honoring silence, presence, and everyone’s voice. I leave this program with many gifts — confidence and community are two I’m especially grateful for.”

“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.
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.”

“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!”

Parent/ caregiver groups and communities ready to unlearn coercion, rebuild trust, and create homes and cultures where kids’ autonomy can thrive.
We meet online for 8 live sessions across 4 months. Each session blends reflection, small-group practice, and 1:2 coaching. Between sessions, you’ll meet your partner for mutual support.
Clarity, confidence, and trust in yourself and your kids. A more peaceful home dynamic. And the grounding to live a school-free life rooted in connection, not control.
We guide, hold, and reflect — offering both concrete tools and deep witnessing. This is shared work, done in community, held with care.
Our approach is flexible and responsive to each group. We draw from a blend of modalities that support emotional, relational, and systemic healing — such as Resonance Practice, Sense Thinking, Family Constellations, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and Tarot.
Not every tool will be used in every cohort. We listen closely to what emerges and integrate the practices that best serve the group’s process. What unites them all is their shared purpose: helping adults release old conditioning, build embodied trust, and reconnect with their own inner guidance.
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.
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.
