Empowerment Practice Group
A live monthly practice group for parents and educators that want to develop skills for: supporting kids' learning outside the school system; communicating with kids, and creating a healthy culture in their community.
Becoming the best version of ourselves takes practice!
We want to feel competent in our roles as parents and educarers.
We want to feel we know what we're doing.
We want to have smooth sailing with our kids.
We want our relationships to be harmonious.
We want to be empathetic, patient and kind.
We want to trust our unconventional learning path.
We want to trust our kids.
We also know what we "should" be doing...
Pause, breathe and calm the f-ck down.
Listening instead of trying to fix things.
Focus on the relationship instead of the outcome.
Trust the process and our kids' innate curiosity and configuration.
All of this is great! But we don't always know how to do it. Why? Because we're navigating life against the current, and we haven't learned how to sail steadily in strong winds. Becoming a good captain requires practice. A lot of it!
We believe learning happens through relationships. It's in a community of compassionate humans that we can really lean into practice and develop the skills we long for.
Whether you have participated in The Shift, the Deeply Deschooling Group Coaching Program or our Facilitation Support Groups and simply want more of the good stuff, or have never worked with us before...
Join us in this monthly practice group for dedicated parents and educators and become empowered!

Testimonials
“I found this class through Becka and Sari’s podcast, and it’s been such a healing experience. It wasn’t just an intellectual analysis of the school system; it felt like a deep, visceral shift in how I exist in my parenting journey. I wasn’t expecting that, but once it happened, I realized this is more of a healing journey than just a learning one. ”
Kjerstine
“I have found your class to be invaluable in reevaluating my beliefs around parenting and learning and it has been profound and deeply healing for me. Thank you so much for the work you do.”

Becky
“I am celebrating my vulnerability and the hope I have for growth as an empathetic human who can be a leader of authentic dialogue in my family and community (where authentic dialogue doesn't seem to happen naturally).”
Humanizing the approach to education
Sari & Becka
We’re Sari González and Becka Koritz, founders of Radical Learning™.
Together we have 35+ years of experience supporting kids, parents, educators and educational organizations.
What do we support with?
We humanize the approach to education by empowering parents and educators to support young people’s learning, autonomy and agency outside of the conventional school system. We do this through innovative tools of connection, communication and consent.
We offer in-person trainings, coaching programs, online courses and consulting.
We also run Explora ALC, an Agile Learning Community that offers pop-up immersion programs where self-directed learners and their families come together to explore, play, learn and grow together within a supportive and emergent community.
