Welcome to join a spontaneous 2-week (free) guided journey into peaceful parenting and unschooling! We have a group where we get together and you can ask me questions, share your worries/fears, and your dreams and visions, and I share my thoughts, reflections, experiences and ideas.

I remember that this kind of support was SO helpful for me when I started (I knew NOTHING about peaceful parenting and unschooling when I became a mum - not even the expressions). It was such a big journey - a huge inner journey, and a physical journey, moving countries multiple times to be somewhere where homeschooling is legal and where we created/found community. Having someone who had been there, who could help me to make this transitioning both a bit easier and a bit quicker (instead of having to read tons of books and YouTube my way through it), meant the world to me - and I would love to pay it forwards.

Here is the link where you can register and will straight away get to the group: https://ittakesavillage.se/explore-peaceful-parenting-unschooling/ We are starting NOW! ? Warm welcome!

PS: Welcome to share this invitation with like-minded parents! ?

You so strongly feel that you want to take your children out of school. However, it also feels challenging and overwhelming.

So you contact me, knowing that I have been walking this path for a long time. You ask me for advice, suggestions and support, and I immediately am able to give her helpful ideas and contacts.

Your entire nervous systems calms down, realising how much easier it feels to have someone to brainstorm with and to share both your excitement, your doubts, fears, and questions with. (Your husband is ok with this idea yet also completely new to it, plus very busy with his job and his own processes.)

You ask me if I could imagine to support you over a period of several months, and I share that this kind of work is my passion, and that it would be both and honour and a great joy for me.

I also explain that I currently offer my group program (ROOTED & FREE) where you would get a weekly group mentorship call, daily inspiration as well as deeply nourishing sisterhood with other amazing, like-hearted women. Another option would be to have 1:1 mentorship which is obviously 100% personalised and with total focus on YOU, with me being available for you through voice messages basically any time. AND, if you want both the group support AND the individualised mentorship, you could currently jump onto the package that combines BOTH while giving you a 1111€ (!!) discount.

You immediately feel that a combination of both would be the DREAM for you because you are deeply longing for sisterhood with women who get you, who are excited about every little and big step of your journey, and who are deeply authentic, empathetic and inspiring. AND you are also longing for a space where YOU get full attention, where YOU are heard and seen, where someone else is holding space for YOU (only) - something that you are doing constantly for others. A mentor that you can reach out to any time of the day or night, and who will get back to you within less than a day (apart from Sundays) with reflections, ideas or simply SO much love.

I recommend you to sleep over it for a night, and the next morning you feel even more excited and already start writing a list with topics you want to ask me about. You send me a confirmation, and I am in deep awe about your decision and devotion to both courageously walk your path AND to call in support to both bring in more ease and speed up your process of planning and creating this new life for your family. I send you the payment link as well as a date suggestion for our first start up call, and we meet already the following day on Zoom where we tend to some of the biggest questions that you currently have.

From this moment onwards, you reach out to me via text/voice messages multiple times a week, whenever big questions are racing through your head, you want to celebrate a big milestone, or you just want to be held in the big feelings that come up along this journey.

Is this the kind of journey that you are ready to go onto?

Send me a DM saying "Rebecca, I'm interested in your mentorship" (or e-mail to [email protected]), and we will have a casual back- and forth chat to make sure that we are a great fit. I'd LOVE to hear from you! ?

I created ? ROOTED & FREE ? in the beginning of this year, and the women inside the first group have been on the most beautiful journey together ever since. We have touched so many topics - waaaay beyond the topics that are a planned part of the program (which are, for example, connecting with our values and visions, connecting with our inner guidance, taking a look at our environment and its impact on us, calling in more support, talking about our health and well-being and how we can fill our cup as women and mums, peaceful parenting etc.).

Other topics that have come up are the relationships to our own mums/parents, how to hold space for a child who is grieving the fact that we will all die one day, mothering children with big feelings, consciously choosing to put our kids into daycare/school (or consciously choosing to not do this), observing our own triggers, reflecting on our childhood wounds, living in different countries, our relationships as parents, feeling pressured by authorities and sooo much more. Whether one of the women has anything challenging happening, or wanting to share a joyful experience, or some inspiring thoughts, or anything in between: there is ALWAYS witnessing and support in the group, and I believe that it has never taken more than a few hours until at least one woman has responded in the group.

Our private space on Telegram is available for group members 24/7, and while sometimes it can be quiet in there for a few days, there are other periods with a lot of conversations.

At nearly all our 20 (or so) mentorship calls, all participants were present. We have laughed together, cried together, been in silence, and had many, many deeply touching and healing conversations.

In our last mentorship call, one of the women suggested the most beautiful ritual for the entire group which each of us can do in our own homes in our own time.

Several of the ROOTED & FREE women have been visiting each other, even across countries.

This very group has already requested to extend for a third 3-month period.

Oh, my heart is so filled with gratitude for this space and these amazing, courageous women who are so deeply caring and empathetic and inspiring, and the strong network that has been woven amongst us.

And now I am just as excited to start with a second group - the women who are already inside this second group are such devoted, inspiring, beautiful souls, and I feel that this group's journey is going to be just as extraordinary as the one described above.

Are you ready for your next courageous steps in life and motherhood, and for calling in support on your journey? Join us for ? ROOTED & FREE ?! We only have a few spots left and doors are closing on Thursday 25th of July. We'd LOVE to welcome you inside!

I can count on one hand how many days per year we wake up with an alarm clock.

I don't remember how many weeks ago I last wore a pair of shoes.

Most time of the year, I spend exactly zero minutes per week in traffic or vehicles. My longest commute is when I decide to work from the beach, and it takes me a (gorgeous) 15 min walk to get there.

My kids are roaming around freely, getting to dive into countless of hours of free play every day, playing with kids of many different ages every single day, they can come to me (almost) any time while I am working when they want to share something, need a hug or some help, we get to spend so much time together.

I love my work and the people I work with.

In average, I randomly meet probably 4 unschooling parents every single day in my everyday life (plus all planned meet-ups and my many online connections with unschooling parents).

I adjust my work to my life.

I can take my work along even when we are travelling or moving, and most times (at least when it is warm and dry enough) I am working from outside.

(Right now, I am sitting in the golden evening sun in the soft grass under my favourite birch with grasshoppers, butterflies and birds around me, and hearing my kids and their friends playing in the background.)

Would I have asked anyone a few years ago if this life could be possible as a single mum with little money on her account, without any knowledge about entrepreneurship and in a country where homeschooling is strictly illegal, most people would for sure have said NO.

However, I decided to do it anyway. I made it one of my highest priorities to surround myself with people who, too, are on a similar path to create a slower, more meaningful life with more connection with their kids and themselves. Because my environment could either hold me back - or give me both roots and wings. (And of course I chose the roots & wings!)

And... here I am! I believe that my life as a mum matters SO much, because (a) the more nourished and regulated I am, the more I have to give to my family (and everyone else), (b) the way I model life is one of the biggest impacts on my kids' lives, and (c) I matter, too, and deserve an amazing life.

For any women who are devoted to create a conscious, meaningful, soul-filling life, and who are ready to call in togetherness, witnessing, guidance and inspiration for this profound journey, surrounded by wonderful, like-hearted women who are rooting for you and giving you wings, who are on a similar path - and who might become your soul sisters - I whole-heartedly invite you to join us for ? ROOTED & FREE ?

Doors are going to be open until Thursday evening, and the most amazing women are already awaiting you inside with open arms. I honestly cannot wait for our journey to begin.

With so much gratitude,
Rebecca

Wow. ? What a rich, diverse, beautiful selection of 15 amazing communities from 11 countries and 4 continents!

You have been longing to live in a neighbourhood or community with people who share similar values and a similar lifestyle ?????????? but you don't know where to find great communities - or you get totally overwhelmed and don't know where to start?

THIS is why I created "Let's re-village life!" ? In this absolutely unique online event, you get to meet wonderful (real-life) communities/neighbourhoods/local networks from around the world who are welcoming new members. ? Each of them will tell us about their community, the place, the people, what makes them special, and who it is for. You get see their faces, ask them questions, connect with them, and - most of all - feel their energy! ? This makes so much easier to get a feeling for a place, rather than just reading something on the screen.

I honestly don't know a better place and easier way to find community. ??‍?‍?? And to meet the most wonderful, conscious, heart-centered people... ?

Want to learn more and sign up? https://ittakesavillage.se/lets-re-village-life-2024/ We'll meet tomorrow already, and registration closes 4 hours prior to the start of the event. ?

PS: Creating this event has, once more, felt SO meaningful and beautiful. ✨️ Also, my heart jumps joy when I hear that people have found deep friendships and new neighbours through the re-villaging events in the past years, and just this week, two families told me that they are thinking of moving to communities they met through them. ??? However, it is also a ginormous amount of work to arrange this event, and I am not sure if I will do it again. For sure not within the next 1 1/2 years. So... If you want to join, I very much recommend doing it this time around! ?

PPS: I'd be so happy if you wanted to share about this event! ??

Dear beautiful people!

I am slowly transitioning to fewer channels - this is why I am not posting much here anymore.

If you'd like to read/watch my posts, follow me on IG (www.instagram.com/ittakesavillage.se) or subscribe to my newsletter (www.ittakesavillage.se).

I will continue sharing about topics that move me and touch me, that I believe we need to talk about, and where I have inspiration to share with you, such as re-villaging and living in togetherness, peaceful parenting, raising kids without school and much more.

I'd love to stay in touch! ?
Rebecca
