This is a discussion list for those who already live a radical unschooling lifestyle with their children. Embracing and using the principles of whole life/radical unschooling in your family is required for membership on this list. You may explore unschooling here, here, and here.
We have experienced the benefits of radical unschooling in bringing more awareness to our parent-child relationships and want to expand these ideas more in our partnering. In the discussions here we promote keeping our focus on ourselves, on how our own perspective shifts and choices may bring more joy and peace to our own life and to our partnering. This list does not promote controlling, coercing, or converting our partners. This is not a place to complain about or blame our partners; it is a forum to examine how our own beliefs and choices effect our own positive growth. This list is about recognizing the joy in living, loving, learning, and accepting our partners for who they are. We discuss our personal deschooling of beliefs about partnership in order to be more mindfully present with our partners in each moment and find more joyful and peaceful ways to appreciate them and relate to them.
This list is not for saving marriages from the brink of divorce; the moderators are not relationship experts. We are here to discuss "taking committed, good relationships and making them magical and fantastic. It is about nipping any incipient slides in the bud. It is about switching up the blahs for woohoos. It is about going from a pleasant, ordinary family life to an incredible life of closeness and wonder."–Robyn Coburn.
