Below are videos of several mothers whom I filmed at their recent closing day for their EPIC AdventureTM --
Heroes: A Rendezvous With Destiny, (about World War II).
(I discovered that next time I must take the mothers to a quiet place. Please excuse the background noise!)
More to come!

"You shouldn't call this a workshop -- there's nothing out there like this. This was fabulous!" From an evaluation form after a two-day workshop.
Carol Palmer - Victorville, California
"The reason why I love the EPIC AdventureTM
is because it is such a powerful tool. An EPIC
AdventureTM resonates so well because all of
us are on an epic journey in our lives. If you
have a theme then it's great, because you
make connections and everything, but with the
EPIC AdventureTM you experience a
deeper level, because it relates to you
and your life's mission.
You're not just learning from curiosity, but from a
deeper sense of purpose. Your life is an epic
adventure. I like the fact that the EPIC AdventuresTM
we've experienced always intertwine with the children
themselves, what their mission is and their role in life."
"I love our school year songs! That is what really
inspires me. Whenever I don't feel like doing school,
I just sing our song and I just want to dive in and do
even more!"
Josh C. - California
Five-year-old Josh overheard his mother
and father discussing plans for their EPIC
AdventureTM in the coming year. He said,
"I don't know what you're talking about,
but whatever it is it sounds awesome!"
Choules Famiy, Indiana, USA
"My husband and I are the happy
parents of six wonderful children.
We subscribe to the Thomas
Jefferson Education Model of
homeschool and I am so happy to have
found this group of Courageous Beings
which so strongly shows me how to
inspire my children to greatness!"
Gloria Piselli
"I am looking forward to the EPIC Guild.
I'm excited about being better prepared
and organized for next year. I know that
the big difference in 'doing adventures' vs.
'doing school' is the mom's excitement and
involvement. If we fall into the trap of buying
a history textbook and assigning chapters,
we remove ourselves from the course so much.
I recently read that we don't want to merely
cover topics, bu to UNcover them and explore
them."
"I found your website somehow one day, and
when my husband came home that night, he
couldn't believe the energy I was giving forth.
You were definitely the inspiration I needed.
Thanks so much. I used to do homeschool in
a style similar to yours, but in the last few years
I really got bogged down in 'what they need to
know.' the life got sucked right out of my home-
school and along with it much of the joy. We
had already begun our study of the Middle Ages
in September, but yesterday, I revealed some of
the secrets I'd been working on since I found your
website. We are now on a Rejuvenating Pilgrimage!!
Geoffrey Chaucer, John Bunyan, and the National
Cathedral in D.C. are all in my plans. We are
transforming the upstairs hall into a sanctuary
(sort of) with a stained glass window and character
stones to cover the wall. The children loved their
life books more than I had anticipated -- I used my
scrapbooking stuff to make individual covers...
Thanks again so much."
Heather Martinson - Eucaipa, California
"It's so fun, the kids love it! They learn so
fast and they don't even realize they're
learning. I have one child in my family
who prefers our school days over Disneyland. When I say,
'Harrison, school today.' He says, "YES!"
