The colors, the corners, the cathedral | Day 333 of my 2023 Journal

Cecilie Conrad·Nov 29, 2023

On the second day in SMA, we just took it in.

The colors.

The decorations around the doors.

The doors themselves.

The people.

The decorations.

The Cathedral.

We were weirdly tired and, at the same time, uplifted, settling in, breathing.

There is not much to say. We worked. We studied. We shared meals. We walked the streets.

We enjoyed it a lot.

With love

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.
