Our Team

We are a group of public and self-educated lifelong learners who believe that learning is best achieved intrinsically, and never forced. We are guides rather than traditional teachers. Our lives are as complicated and busy as all peoples are these days. We make an effort to consistently be there at a given time and day in order to guide young lifelong learners on their paths with unschooling and self-directed education. No matter a family homeschooling ideology our guides will enhance the education and ease the responsibility of home education for young and old alike

I’m an unschooling mother of two simply because I am not willing to do what it would take to make my kids fit into a conventional school system. I love this opportunity to nourish their unique personalities, needs and interests and create an organic community with local families.

My two sons are “deep divers” and squeal every time they come to see their friends, then run around playing for hours on end. That’s how I knew it was a good fit!

I’ll be facilitating art and music opportunities for Sonder Life Learners. My mom was (still is!) an art teacher, and I cut my teeth in the west coast music scene as a live vocalist and sound engineer. I graduated from Cornish College of the Arts with a music degree, but my creative passion as of late is in ecstatic dance, which I facilitate weekly in my Soul Nutrition Community Dance. I love crafting, sewing, and playing with all sorts of materials.

When I’m not hanging around Sonder Life, I run a business coaching parents to build more connection and cooperation with their children.

Hello, I'm the guide for D&D. I am dedicated homeschool father of two who enjoys fostering creativity and imagination through play. Despite my full-time work schedule, I make time to guide children through the imaginative world of Dungeons and Dragons, a game that I grew up playing and have since become an experienced Dungeon Master for both adults and children.
