You might be a driven self starter that has opened up your own center/community.
It's possible that you're transitioning from conventional teaching to facilitation in an SDE space.
In our experience there are a lot of dedicated people that do an amazing work with kids but that are longing for more confidence in their role as facilitators.
We know what it’s like!
We have experienced this reality ourselves. We know how inspiring and daunting it can be working with kids in radically new ways. Supporting them (and their parents!) on their self-directed journey can be challenging to say the least.
The vision is clear - but how do you make it happen?
This is why we decided to put together a Support Program specifically designed for SDE facilitators that want to deepen their facilitation skills.
We help you unlock your own potential so you can support kids to do the same!
During 10 months, through a mix of live online group coaching sessions and accountability partner sessions, you get the tools to co-create a new way of relating and communicating with the youth in your life by learning how to:
Deepen your confidence and facilitation skills.
Develop new practices to support self-directed learners in developing more autonomy and independence.
Co-create a consent based learning culture with kids.
Develop more collaborative, equitable relationships with the kids.
Build consent-based and trusting relationships with the kids and their parents.
Identify and learn strategies to let go of control and power over kids.
You get:
We gather once a month on Saturdays (8-10 am PST/ 10-12 am CST/ 11-13 am EST/ 17:00-19:00 CET) and share our tried and tested tools and methods - providing facilitators with tangible support to deepen their confidence and facilitation skills, develop new practices to support self-directed learners in developing more autonomy and independence, and learn how to build consent-based and trusting relationships with learners and their parents.
We pair you up with another participant who you will meet privately every two weeks work together towards your desired deschooling/facilitation goals. Accountability partnership is a brave space to check in on reflections, progress and share celebrations, struggles and curiosities. It's a giving and receiving that empowers you to keep on doing the work outside of the group coaching sessions. You can even keep this up after the program is over if you jive!
Freedom to Learn is an online self-study course for parents and adults supporting youth that want to deepen and broaden their understanding for how self-directed learning happens and how to best support self-directed learners. You recieve access to this program (value $350) as part of our Facilitation Support.
The full value of this program is $1,265 (Global North) and $635 (Global South). However, as we are piloting this program, we are currently offering it at one time special rate of $950 (Global North) and $475 (Global South). Moving forward the program will increase to it's true value.
Equity, which is built upon both inclusion and fairness, is a concept close to our hearts. To help support equity and in an effort to balance accessibility with the financial sustainability of the program, we are offering sliding scale payment options depending on where you reside and where your economy is based (Global North or Global South).
Global North economies include the US, Canada, Europe, etc. Global South Economies include Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, Pacific Islands, and the developing countries in Asia, including the Middle East.
We also offer 3 month payment plans for those needing them.
This program is for SDE facilitators that have experience working in SDE spaces with kids, but feel the need for tangible support to deepen their confidence and facilitation skills, develop new practices to support self-directed learners in developing more autonomy and independence and learn how to build consent-based and trusting relationships with learners and their parents.
The content of the program is partly pre-defined (based upon our experience in what we see facilitators struggle with) and partly co-created with participants depending on individual/ group needs. Some of the content covered is: Agile tools for intentional culture creation; Fostering choice and autonomy; Building equitable relationships; Setting healthy boundaries; Radical self-acceptance; Power of apology; Conflict resolution; Consent-based support. Other themes and topics are emergent based on what is relevant for participants.
We support you by providing concrete tools and methods to help you develop more collaborative, equitable relationships with kids through letting go of power and control while learning how to more deeply trust kids (and yourself!).
You get the tools to break generational cycles of adultism; heal from unhealthy relational patterns; and co-create a new way of thinking about, speaking to and relating and communicating with the youth in your life. You unlock your full potential as a facilitator so that you can fully support the autonomy and freedom in the kids you support.
Our job is to support you by holding space, listening, mirroring and sometimes challenging limiting thoughts or beliefs. We also share our experience, knowledge, knowhow and expertise in order to help you move from being stuck to taking intentional action to support you to reach new depths of your facilitation practices and relationship with youth. That being said, you will get out what you put in. In other words, the outcome will depend on your own efforts, commitment to the process and willingness to do the deep work.
“I feel both grateful for and extremely satisfied with all the support I've received during the Facilitation Support Program. It's an experience that has completely shifted my way of looking at, talking to and behaving towards kids. I'm transformed - as a facilitator and as a mom. Totally connected to myself I can fully connect with the kids. 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.”

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.
