E 12 - From London to a Yurt: A Journey of Unschooling and Self-Discovery with Lucy AitkenRead
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to leave the hustle and bustle of city life and embrace the wild?
This episode features an incredible conversation with Lucy AitkenRead, a nomadic adventurer who shares her family's journey from London to off-grid living in New Zealand.
Lucy AitkenRead is a mother, activist, bestselling author, and an unschooling advocate and runs Disco Learning.
After living in London for years, Lucy and her husband felt the desire to break away from societal expectations and fulfill a deeper calling. They drove off in a van and explored Europe before settling down in New Zealand, where her husband is from. Lucy shares her story in her book: '30 Days of Rewilding’, which is a collection of daily readings that will inspire families to fall in love with nature.'
We dive into their experience on the road, the balance between work and family, and the lessons they've learned along the way.
We also tackle the topic of unschooling, discussing the need to dismantle the traditional school system and empower children to thrive outside of those institutions. Lucy offers her insights on the social implications of unschooling, the healing potential of this journey, and the systemic injustice it seeks to address. This conversation will challenge your perspectives on education, relationships, and what it truly means to live a fulfilling life.
We hope you will enjoy this episode and be inspired to follow your own calling, even if it means breaking away from societal norms and expectations, stepping outside your comfort zone, and creating a life that aligns with your values.
