  Imagine five fun-filled days with more than 700 unschoolers—life learners, gentle parents and kindred spirits all around you, celebrating freedom and joy. This is what awaits at the Live and Learn, conference along with events like the ice-breaking ice cream social, funshops galore, insightful talks, intimate break-out
 chats, and plenty of round-the-clock
socializing. Perhaps one participant captured the conference spirit best, saying,  “The weekend was... spectacular, life-
affirming, joyful powerful, fun, joyful, peaceful, free, relaxing, joyful and swirly. Just like unschooling is.” Be a part of unschooling in action next year in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
Join hundreds of unschooling families from across the country on Labor Day Weekend as we devote a weekend to sharing our love, laughter, successes and challenges with one another... kindred unschooling spirits all!  We will have a plethora of exciting, forward-
thinking folks with us in addition to a packed weekend of on-the-edge or over-the-edge topics and activities for adults, teens and kids.  As one attendee told us, "This is the most profound, thought-provoking weekend my family has ever experienced... truly an event for thinkers on-the-edge. We felt nurtured, inspired and the entire weekend was so life-affirming.  We can't wait to attend again next year."
