"Since we can’t know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned." -John Holt This is a group of free thinking unschooling families. I encourage all ages to join. We have a wide range of activities including (but certainly not limited to) in house playdates, park playdates, hikes, museum trips, book …

I learned a secret! Relaxation is good for both health/wellness AND solving the "unsolvable". Stress is a cycle. Problems that can't be solved quickly cause stress. Stress wears us out and takes the fun out of life. Co-directing a Stress Disorders Clinic for 20 years taught me we need "biofeedback". Concrete ways to know what is going on inside. Art making (not products) is a perfect way to express yourself, get "feedback" on what you like and don't like. This is a big part of creative problem-s …

Joyful Weight Loss, Joyful Living is an approach to mindful eating that allows you to lose weight without deprivation, while cultivating more pleasure and more self-nurturing into your daily life as you watch yourself slim down. This approach is based in part on the teachings of Geneen Roth, who gained and lost over 1000 lbs by the time she was in her late 20s. Then she quit dieting altogether and began to “eat when she was hungry and feel her feelings when she was not hungry but wanted to eat. …
