Choosing to parent differently can feel deeply right — and still be incredibly challenging.

You may be unschooling or exploring self-directed learning.
You may be questioning school while your child is still in it.
Or you may be practicing conscious parenting in a world that keeps pulling you back toward urgency and performance.

However it looks for you, this way of parenting asks a lot.

You might feel clear and aligned one moment…
and unsure, triggered, or overwhelmed the next.

Maybe people around you don’t fully understand your choices.
Maybe some days, you don’t either.

We get it.
This work isn’t just about how kids learn — it’s about unlearning fear-based patterns, and building relationships rooted in trust, consent, and connection.

Join the Circle

Parent Support Circles aren’t just about learning new tools — they’re about transforming how you see yourself and your child. Come find clarity, confidence, and connection in community.

What Parent Support Circles offer

In Parent Support Circles, we explore what it takes to:

  • Move from fear and control to trust and connection: Understand what’s underneath urgency, pressure, and doubt — and learn how to meet those moments with more presence and compassion.

  • Communicate without power struggles: Even when we value autonomy and respect, old habits can show up under stress. We practice ways of relating that reduce conflict and build collaboration — especially when things feel hard.

  • Build consent-based family culture: Explore how consent, boundaries, repair, and shared power show up in everyday life — at home, in learning spaces, and in community.

Every circle brings a little more ease. A little more trust.

Come as you are — we’ll meet you there.

Am I In The Right Place?

Parent Support Circles are for you if:

  • you’re unschooling or questioning conventional schooling

  • you’re practicing conscious or relationship-centered parenting

  • you’re unlearning control, urgency, and fear

  • you want support without dogma, judgment, or “doing it right”

Each session is interactive, experiential, and grounded in what's alive for parents right now. We weave together inner inquiry, small-group practice, and shared discussion to help you grow your awareness, shift old patterns, and connect with others walking a similar path. 

You'll leave the sessions with something tangible  a tool, an insight, or a new perspective  that you can bring directly into your daily life.  

What You’ll Gain

By joining Parent Support Circles, you’ll:

  • Understand your young person’s needs and learning process more deeply.

  • Develop tools that support autonomy, agency, and trust.

  • Build confidence in your parenting, even when the path feels uncertain.

  • Feel part of a caring community that gets it.

These circles aren’t about adding more to your plate.
They’re about finding ease — and remembering that you’re not alone in this work.


You’ve already chosen a new path.

Now choose the support that helps you walk it with trust.

How do Parent Support Circles work?

  • Can both parents/caregivers join under one registration?

    Yes! We love when co-parents join. Since we use breakout rooms, each person will need their own device. We offer a 50% discount for the second registration.

  • What if I miss a session?

    No worries — all sessions are recorded and available to all current PSC members.

  • Do I need prior experience with Self-Directed Education (SDE) to join?

    No! Parents arrive with many different experiences. You might be unschooling, exploring self-directed learning, or parenting consciously while your child is still in school. This space is for parents who are willing to look inward, slow down, and explore new ways of relating — together.

  • Can I bring my own questions and challenges to the sessions?

    Absolutely. These sessions are shaped by your real-life challenges and reflections. After each circle, we collect feedback to guide what comes next.

  • Are these sessions confidential?

    Yes. What’s shared in the circle stays in the circle. That’s how we build safety and trust.

Testimonials

“After our last PSC session, something shifted deeply in me. I’ve always been afraid of becoming the kind of critical parent I grew up with — so I’ve held back, even when something felt off.

But this time, I was able to say what I needed — to stand in my truth — without shame or blame. When my child did something small that used to trigger me, I didn’t explode or shut down. I named what I felt. I stayed with myself. And the response was completely different — he heard me.

For the first time, I felt the difference between control and grounded power. I’m not my parent. And I don’t need to repeat what I came from.

This work is changing everything.”

Eva C.

“The Parent Support Circles have helped me release limiting beliefs and trust myself - and my children - more deeply.”

Kjerstine A.

“These sessions have been such a gift. I’ve learned how to stop trying to control everything and just focus on connecting with my kids. I feel like I’m finally parenting the way I’ve always wanted to, without all the stress.”

“I didn’t realize how much pressure I was carrying around until I started coming to these circles. The somatic practices we’ve done have helped me relax and actually enjoy parenting more. I didn’t expect to feel this calm, but I’ll take it!”

“Joining this group was the best decision I’ve made as an SDE parent. Every session leaves me feeling inspired and like I actually know what I’m doing for once. Plus, the community here is amazing! It’s so nice to know I’m not alone in this.”

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.

A pathway to the SDE Youth Rights Accreditation

The Parent Support Circles offer a pathway to the Self-Directed Education (SDE) Youth Rights Accreditation—an international recognition for educational spaces that champion human rights, with a focus on the rights of young people. 

This accreditation provides recognition that bridges youth-centered methodologies with conventionally accepted educational frameworks. It supports the sustainable growth of youth rights education, enhances legal recognition, and amplifies respect for this global movement rooted in fostering independent, responsible, and fulfilled young people.
