What if there was another way to think about childhood, parenting, play and education?

Hosted by Homegrown Nature Play, Homegrown & Whole is a one-day conference bringing together parents, educators, advocates and families who are ready to think a little differently about how we raise, educate and make space for our children.

A day for conversations about:

Protecting childhood and the importance of play

Parenting with connection and intention

Homeschooling and alternative education pathways

Neurodiversity and regulation

Learning beyond the classroom

Creating a family life that actually works for your family

Raising children with more time, freedom, connection and adventure

You don’t need to be a homeschooling family to come.

You might be homeschooling already.

You might be considering it.

You might have a child who doesn’t fit neatly into conventional systems.

You might be an educator or professional who wants to see childhood done differently.

Or perhaps you’re simply a parent wondering whether family life was ever meant to feel quite this rushed.

Come and spend the day with us.
