Scott Noelle's workshops at this year's HSC Conference:
Papa Power: Authentic Fathering for the 21st Century
Authoritarian fathering is way too "20th century" to fly in these times of creativity, rapid change, and decentralizing
power. But the alternative, so-called "authoritative" approach often amounts to "authoritarian *lite*." In this session, exclusively
for fathers, Scott Noelle will deconstruct outdated modes of fathering and facilitate an exploration of Authentic Power as
it expresses in a *partnership-oriented* family value system.
Lighten Up!
How to stop worrying and start enjoying your homeschooling adventure.
Transcending the 'Un' in Unschooling
The label "unschooler" describes what you are *not*, but there is much more to gain by clarifying who you *are* as an unschooler,
a parent, a human being. Therein lies the hard inner work (or play, if you prefer) of the unschooling parent. The path is
fraught with contradictions which, rather than frustrating you, can be used like Zen koans to enlighten you. (This talk is
a LOT less serious than it sounds!)
Pleasure-Driven Learning -- The Three P's: Pleasure, Presence, and Power
This workshop involves experiential exercises through which you can learn to *feel* your authentic Power, centered Presence,
and creative Pleasure. Dress comfortably!
In addition, Scott Noelle will be available for personal parenting coaching sessions on Sunday. More details soon.

Charlotte Levinson's workshops at this year's HSC Conference:
An Overview of the Charlotte Mason Method
Want happy children who are thoroughly educated? Tap in to how children naturally learn while you avoid burn out. Go
beyond the three R’s and enrich your lives with the humanities. Learn how to use narration—a powerful, effective,
and free technique. With this method you can improve your children’s level of observation and knowledge by replacing
expensive curriculums with the finest literature, poetry, art, and music.
History And Science in the Charlotte Mason Method
Retention is everything! Stop wasting your time and money—replace those boring workbooks with real life. Learn
how to improve your children’s power of observation in an effective, thorough, yet loving way. Find out how to combine
well-chosen literary books, direct contact, and sketching for the desired result . . . lasting knowledge. Nature notebooks
and a homemade book of the centuries will be covered.
Language Arts for (Almost) Free
So many language arts, so little money. As with most things, there is a boring way to teach children, and there is a
more interesting way. Charlotte Mason’s techniques bring an end to the tears and complaints for both parent and child
while drastically reducing the cost! This workshop covers foreign language, composition, handwriting, literature, poetry,
spelling, and dictation.
Balancing Act: To Structure or Not to Structure
Only YOU know if you need to loosen up or tighten up your home school efforts. Achieve the long, sought-after balance
between unschooling and planned academics by implementing Charlotte Mason’s "short lessons." Replace dawdling with good
habits so that everybody has more free time to enjoy life.
