A whole new world
Maybe you are, just like me, dedicated to create a new world – and a new world requires us to do things differently. This includes raising our children differently than in conventional schools.
And maybe for you, just like it was for me when I became a mum, the idea of raising children without school is totally new to you.
Wherever you find yourself: warm welcome to A WHOLE NEW WORLD! I am SO excited to have you here!
We will have 10 days together (on Telegram and with multiple Zoom calls) where we will dive into topics like unschooling, worldschooling, peaceful parenting, finding/creating community, and more.
I will share lots of information from 11+ years of parenting without institutions and from supporting 1000s of parents, and there will be plenty of room for you to ask questions and to connect with like-hearted parents. Whether you are brand-new on this journey or have been living outside the box for long: you are absolutely in the right place!
Not being alone on this journey is probably THE biggest gift to yourself, bringing more ease and clarity and support, which is why I created this space, and why I celebrate you so much for joining us!

Have you been feeling a knot in your tummy with the thought (or experience!) of leaving your kids at daycare, having them raised by strangers?
Or have you been raising your kids without daycare so far, and are wondering: what happens at school age?
Or maybe your child(ren) is/are at school already, and it just doesn’t feel good to them and you?
Are you longing for a life where your child(ren) can just BE? Be themselves? Without being managed, controlled, observed, judged, and threatened every single day? Having room to prioritise your rest and health – after all, this is the foundation for a good life…
Are you longing for a life where you get to spend a lot of your days together, a life where you and your kids get to follow their rhythms, needs, passions, dreams and values?
A life where YOU get to decide if you want to get up at 6 and with an alarm clock every morning, or rather at 9 or whenever you got enough sleep.
Slow-living instead of constant rushing.
Meaningful activities that bring you joy.
Nourishing foods prepared with love.
Adults that are present and invested in their healing. Kids who feel seen.
Learning in environments that feel safe, inspiring, healthy.
And so many other things that are impossible to find in most schools.
Then I invite you to explore unschooling! (Or “life-learning” or “self-directed learning“, as I prefer calling it.)
Unschooling. What exactly is this? How? Where? Is this possible/suitable for us? If you are new to UNSCHOOLING, this free experience is for you!
WHAT you can expect: An introduction to unschooling by me, Rebecca, unschooling mama of 10+ years and unschooling mentor who has supported many 1000s of parents. I’ll invite you to explore the world of a life without school, share a bit of my story and answer your questions!
HOW: Sign up via the form below – you will then receive the link to our Telegram group and can join us right away!
Joining this is an AMAZING possibility. It will remind you of the fact that you are not weird and not alone with your feelings, it will open up a whole new world to you and give you a glimpse of what is possible, and how it is possible. I can’t wait to get to meet you! Warm welcome!
Do you believe that living in different environments and amongst different cultures and people is a precious skill and experience for your entire family?
Do you want to travel with your kids for many weeks, months or even years?
Would you like to visit different countries to find a new long-term home for your family?
Are you unsure if worldschooling is for you?
You have never met or talked to anyone who shares this “crazy” idea of long-term travelling with your family?
You wonder how to prepare for worldschooling and if/how you could make it work?
And what exactly does worldschooling look like?
Welcome to a free workshop where I invite you into the world of worldschooling, share about my own family’s travel experiences, and give you inspiration about how to make this possible for you, too.
Whether you are new to WORLDSCHOOLING or want some additional inspiration and meet like-minded families, this free experience is for you!
WHAT: During our 10 days together, I will share an introduction to worldschooling by me, Rebecca, where I share a bit of my story and give you the inspiration and information that I wish I had when we started on this journey.
Also, you will have plenty of opportunities to connect with other families in our private Telegram group where you can share about your family, your questions etc., and I whole-heartedly invite you to connect with like-hearted parents. Having a network of families who share similar values is one of the most essential and valuable tools to have if you choose this way of living, in my opinion, and this is a FANTASTIC opportunity to create yours!
HOW: Sign up via the form below, and you will receive the link both as a pop-up message as well as per e-mail. Please add info@ittakesavillage.se to your safe contacts to make sure it doesn’t end up in your junk folder.
I can’t wait to get to meet you, and to finally craft specific steps for you to live the life that your heart has been calling for so long! 💜
Meet Rebecca, your host!
Hi! I am the woman behind It takes a village, and I am SO excited that you are here!
Already many years before becoming a mother, I turned into a passionate community creator. Since living in multiple countries for many decades, I basically feel like a foreigner and outsider anywhere on the planet, and I noticed early that I was not the only one longing for togetherness – especially when you are different than the majority of people.
When I then became a mum, I right away started this new chapter of my life with a bunch of non-conventional choices such as birthing my children at home AND without any medical staff, co-sleeping with my children, carrying them in slings, not sending them to daycare, breastfeeding them for many years etc.’
So suddenly I was even more different than “just” being a foreigner. More than ever before I felt the need for togetherness with other women who would not only accept me but deeply support and inspire me to follow my heart, even through the most challenging times. And I found them. And they turned into my nourishing, supportive “village”.
I get to be the mama of the most beautiful little adventurers who never have been to any institutions, who share my love for walking barefoot and for indulging in freshly picked berries, for the sea, campfires, baking, gardening, snuggles, amazing friendships across ages and cultures, and exploring different places on this planet. Together, we dream of building our own house with clay, and to grow a big fruit garden.
I also adore islands, sheep, and I think I might be addicted to underwhelm. (I.e. places where I feel calm and spaciousness, where I can easily see the moon and the stars, places that grow wild flowers, and where I often hear nothing but the sound of birds, waves, or the wind.)
During my years as a mother, I have had my fair share of challenges: from living in women’s shelters to recovering from people-pleasing/self-abondoning; from being a single mum and solo-provider to solving crazy situations while being in the middle of nowhere, off-grid, in the Caribbean rainforest; and many more.
At the same time, I have also been blessed with an infinite abundance of goodness – most of this emerged as a result of my conscious and courageous life choices, and through the amazing humans I get to be close to in my life.
In the early months of becoming a mum, I realised that I wanted to teach my children a whole bunch of the most beautiful values. But that I was not living them myself! This was a wake-up call, and the start of a massive shift in my life. Because I knew that it is not my words that would mainly teach my children, but the way I modelled my values by living them.
And the more I started following my inner compass, the more confident and courageous I felt to continue on this path.
Ever since then, I have had the honour to support many, many parents on their journey. And I am SO excited for this event which will support and connect even more families. Because I so much believe that we need WAY more parents who dare to follow their heart. And it is so much easier to follow our hearts when we feel inspired and supported by others who are on a similar journey.
So… I am beyond excited to be here with you and see the magic unfold inside of this precious group.
It would be an honour to welcome you inside. ♥️
