Education Management - Treasure Island, Florida, United States
Rethinking Everything is dedicated to providing inspiration, community and transformative support to aide conscious-living families design a life on their own terms. We host an annual conference and retreat to help our audience explore, process and dispense with "limiting beliefs." If beliefs keep you from thriving, It's time to RE-think! So, join families from around the globe as we gather to RE-think our views on education, parenting, wellness, economics, family, birthing, dying, and life!Founded as Rethinking Education in 1993 by Barb Lundgren and Sarah Jordan, Un-Schooling moms, who had been hosting day long seminars in Texas libraries and family living rooms on how to understand and begin unschooling. The event grew much larger bringing together a wide and varied range of families to share, learn, and connect. From the beginning, RE supported the belief that children are capable of absorbing and using knowledge from our complex world. There is no need for arbitrary structures in parenting or education, such as the use of coercion, rewards, or other behavior modification techniques as motivation. With freedom, respect, and nurturing support, children will display a powerful drive to self-direct their own learning, the result being children who direct their own education and their own futures. Viewed in this way, education becomes a mutual endeavor; It's a life-long process of questioning and discovery, a true exploration of self, society, and the larger world. In 2009, Rethinking Education morphed to Rethinking Everything. The name change clarified the diverse nature of the event and opened the doors wider for an increased diversity in presentations, activities, and attendees. At the heart of RE is the awareness that the most important way we can affect positive, enlightened change in the world is by rethinking the entire nature of childhood and the environments we create to support the thriving of ourselves, our children, and our families.
