Ep 253: E. for Exploration What are some resources you can tap into, based on where you are right now?

The second to last episode in season 8 is live, #fofcpod fam! This week’s inquiry is about the E (for Exploration) in our P.A.U.S.E. acronym. We’re also sharing some post-season offerings and spaces, so be sure to take notes on the things that perk your ears up! These spaces help us find community and connection and are tools to decolonize and revisit our relationships and practices while we navigate through this deschooling journey with our #pausewerk tools in hand and in heart.

Madd Question Askin’

• Have you thought about pausing as a skill set, not just an action?
• Are any of your current beliefs stopping you from showing up how you want to show up?
• How often do you reach for tools of oppression such as silencing, physical punishment, and emotional manipulation?
• What do you trust? And why do you trust it?

Spaces where inquiry and pausewerk are welcomed!

• Live Virtual Training “Co-creating a Thriving Family Culture”: Dr. Sundiata teamed up with Maryella Marie and Tomis Parker, two other SDE-minded facilitators, to create a fantastic offering: The live virtual training, “Co-creating a Thriving Family Culture.” This will take place on June 11-12, 2022. “A weekend intensive training designed for individuals in relationships and families with children who want to be intentional about learning new skills and processes for making decisions and resolving conflicts peacefully and collaboratively.”
• My Reflection Matters Village: Decolonizing education
• My Reflection Matters co-learning for Liberation Membership (OPEN FOR REGISTRATION)
• Community and connection through local spots like Kid Cultivators, a space that Leslie Bray and Taiwan started and still help steward. You can hear more from Leslie on:
• Episode 18: Self-Care + Sacred Space
• Episode 110: Leslie Talks Conscious Community Collectives
• We also have upcoming community workshops (late summer/early fall) on Reframing the idea of value. These workshops will focus on deschooling ideas about money and worth
