No! It is not normal to want to leave your children in a nusery or kindergarden

It is not normal. It is wrong.

Have you ever regretted leaving your kid in an institution?

People call it "normal," but is it?

That something is normal means that most people are doing it - it doesn't make it right.

Do we need to have a house, a base, somewhere to call home? Will it take too much toll on the children to keep moving? Is it good for us?

Are You Always Busy?

Aug 16, 2021

By Cecilie Conrad

Life is in the moment of the things we do. Whether we are studying a language or talking to a friend, or going for a walk, the most important is not to have a mind full of all the things we are not doing in this present moment.

Jul 11, 2021

By Cecilie Conrad

We left a wonderful lifestyle in a beautiful city to get an adventurous lifestyle based on traveling, unschooling, community, and our open hearts to the cosmos. It has been magic, and it still is. We are very grateful for the freedom and the love.

Nothing will be impossible for you!

I am often met by the notion, the idea: "I am lucky to have this kind of life" - It is not luck. I have chosen to stay in the light!

I used to be a feminist

Mar 8, 2021

By Cecilie Conrad

We need to find a new kind of life, a better balance for everyone. I believe in personal freedom for everyone. And in true and humble respect for the dignity in everyone. By everyone.

Set a date, stop dreaming and start planning

Let’s talk about fear

Risk taking with a purpose

Feb 17, 2021

By Cecilie Conrad
