ABOUT US

My Reflection Matters

is a virtual space that provides the community, supports, resources, & healing necessary for adults (caregivers & educators) choosing liberation centered self-directed education (SDE) & living.

In the Village, adults can expect to experience learning opportunities that include a blend of workshops, courses, and live conversations that are focused on supporting folks in shifting out of traditional controlling, adult-centered educational practices (we call this colonial schooling) into loving, learner and partnership centered practices (we call this liberatory or decolonized education). We push adults to think beyond tokenizing BIPOC representation in their environment whether it be in their staffing and/or their books to healing from colonized education by reconnecting with the Indigenous, intuitive, humanistic practices learning naturally occurs within all of us. Through our intuitive healing offerings, we push self-directed advocates to explore the energetic field that guides the "self" towards liberation and personal success by supporting youth advocates to move beyond the thinking mind into the sensing body.

The Village is here to support you in doing the internal work necessary to live a liberated lifestyle.

Please know our community does not differentiate between parent and educator. Neither is more important than the other and both rolls intersect as no one is just one thing. In the Village, we promise to push the boundaries of your thinking and being so that you can show up as the best version of yourself for the young people you love and care for.
