Homeschooling 101 introduces parents and caregivers to alternative educational models and the creation of self-paced curricula. Learn how to begin homeschooling and different ways to be legally compliant, as well.
This workshop will take place outdoors at ‘Ooxor ‘Aweeshko Community Garden. Participants should bring a water bottle, notebook, and writing utensils.
About the Facilitator:
Chayo is a Zapoteca mother of 3 on Tongva Lands and is the people steward at School for the Ecocene. She is the creator of a world where education feels less like a cage and more like a vibrant tapestry, woven with ancestral wisdom and the joyful exploration of little minds. She is the co-founder of ‘Ooxor ‘Aweeshko Community School after embarking on a decolonizing journey in 2018. She realized that recognizing true freedom starts with raising children who aren't afraid to think and do.
‘Ooxor ‘Aweeshko is a family circle, not a classroom. Currently, 5 families form the core, but their impact extends far wider, touching over 150 people through workshops, support groups, and events. Here, BIPOC families can ditch the guilt and embrace "unschooling" – a way of learning that centers around curiosity, not control. It's about seeing children as whole beings, not problems to be fixed, and supporting them on their unique journeys.
Chayo is also a Reiki Master. Since 2011, she's practiced the art of energy healing, weaving her intuitive gifts and ancestral traditions into a unique practice. Inspired by her grandmother, a healer of children's ailments, Chayo creates a personalized healing space for each person. She believes that true healing starts with connecting to our "Godly selves," and she shares this gift through distant healing and in-person sessions. Join Chayo and discover the joy of learning, healing, and growing together!
Chayo has been homeschooling and part of collectives for 9 years. She forms spaces that support alternative education and returns to the land as a guide.
