The Deschooling Convivium
Channel: Ecoversities
Date: 2023-05-17

Session Description: 

Institutionalized schooling leaves an imprint of largely unconscious habits, most of which are dysfunctional and self-limiting. In this session, Charles Eisenstein and Marie Goodwin will illuminate some of the common “habits of schooling” through discussion and stories. We will then lead a short process in small groups to help excavate how these habits show up in large and small ways in our lives.

Panelists: 

Marie Goodwin
Marie is a recovering academic, writer, activist, and mom to two unschooled teens. She recently founded Personal Mycology, a consulting company devoted to deschooling and unschooling support.

Charles Eisenstein
Charles is a public speaker and writer focusing on themes of civilization, consciousness, money, and human cultural evolution. He is the author of several books. These, along with his viral short films and essays, have established him as a genre-defying social philosopher and countercultural intellectual.
