Cold salt water morning | Day 121 of my 2023 Journal

Cecilie Conrad·May 1, 2023· 2 minutes

As I am writing this, I will admit I am exhausted.

I rolled out of bed at eight and joined the cold dip challenge. It was indeed cold.

We are totally hooked. It is such a great start to the day.

Moving on to the castle to hang out again with the huge group of Worldschoolers. I just love the gang!

Afternoon at D-day museum, learned so much, was so tired! Wrote poems for fun in the sunshine with the teens. Used the f-word and laughed a lot.

Cooked in the sunshine, just to realize the pasta had gluten, I had to throw it all away and serve cornflakes for dinner.

Evening at the castle celebrating the birthday of the co-living and one of the teens. Cake and drink and laughter.

And conversions. All day. Batteries running low, jumpstarting with espresso and quick meditations to keep up.

Love and light

Unschooling and Parent consulting, conversations, blogposts, and podcasts on family life and learning

Hi, I'm Cecilie Conrad. I'm a trained psychologist, mother of four, radical unschooler and full-time traveller. I have lived with unschooling for over a decade and help other families find their own path – whether it is about homeschooling, unschooling, or the bigger question of how you want to live as a family.

I offer guidance, conversations and talks. I call my work grandmothering – not coaching in the traditional sense, but presence, professional insight and concrete help navigating motherhood and finding your way home to your own values.

Am I the right person to help you? You can book a free discovery call, and we'll talk and figure it out.
