Whispers of Nature: The Serene World of Alpacas | Day 14 of my 2023 Journal

Cecilie Conrad·Jan 14, 2023

We went to see the alpacas for the third time.

We took our friends, and we enjoyed watching the baby alpaca who had grown.

They are obviously very cute, and very beautiful.

Surprisingly, they are also silent, but singing - humming - to each other, calm never fighting, with no nail under the toe, walking with softness on the grass.

They are shy but not afraid, looking straight into our eyes, and filling our hearts.

Thank you, Giovani for the lovely job you do with these beautiful creatures.

Within the small adventure lies the big one.

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.
