Welcome to The Living Joyfully Network

Our Mission

The Living Joyfully Network is a safe, inclusive community where parents can gather for candid conversations about living and learning through the lens of unschooling. Our shared goals are to embrace lifelong learning, develop strong and connected relationships with our children, and cultivate a thriving unschooling lifestyle in our families.

Our Team

The Living Joyfully Network is hosted by Pam Laricchia, host of the Exploring Unschooling podcast and author of five books about unschooling.

Anna Brown, a long-time unschooling parent and speaker, is the Network's Community Advocate, bringing together her passions for unschooling, consensual living, and community development.

Our Community

The Living Joyfully Network community has members at all points on their unschooling journey and is an amazing mix of parents with a wide range of life and unschooling experience. This diversity of perspective adds a beautiful richness to our conversations. 

The Network’s strength is its members. Together, we contribute to—and celebrate—each other’s learning. By sharing our experiences and the resources we have found valuable, we help each other on our journeys to cultivate a safe and engaging unschooling environment in which each family member can thrive.
